Trunko [Best Innovation Award 2021]

The year is 2321. On the planet Trappist-1E, a team of scientists discovers a strange, intelligent alien blob, which they name Trunko. Curious, the scientists capture Trunko and take it back to a research facility to study-- only to find that it has no intention of being studied.

Trunko is a 2D side-scrolling roguelike that balances tight platforming with fluid combat.  Acting as Trunko, you must navigate and fight your way through three floors of obstacles and enemies, picking up weapons and upgrades along the way, to earn your freedom and return to space!
