Jex
A Gex fangame done in a week for GexJam 2024, try to find all the remotes! (psst TVs are warps and so are cabin doors). Download for better graphics/lighting! Mac build is untested.
Concept, Jex model & lines, and fantasy map by SPG (https://spg.itch.io/)
Code, voice, and camp map by me
Edit on 22 Oct 2024: Some refinements and polish are being made to the fantasy level and the movement mechanics, but they probably won't be done for a while. Hopefully we can get the wall-crawling to be cool and good!
Abilities:
Tail bounce - hold jump while in the air to bounce higher when landing
Tongue Grapple - Hold right click then left click when reticle is red to grapple to that point. Only some surfaces are grabbleable.
Wall climb - press F when facing a climbable surface. Indicator on bottom of screen tells you when you can climb. Jump or F to stop climbing.
Controls:
wasd - movement
space - jump
mouse - camera
esc - pause (Twice in web version. Can exit level to hub from here)
F11/alt+enter - fullscreen toggle
shift - tailwhip
hold right click - aim
left click while aiming and reticle is red - tongue grapple
hold jump while in the air - tail bounce
f - climb toggle on some surfaces. See indicator on middle bottom of screen
e - make jex say a line
There's also a secret test level you can find (its pretty boring though)
If you get an error saying the .pck is missing for the html version, try refreshing.
