In another world, in another time, there lived, far far away from everyone, from everything, a little puppet who was taking care of her garden, watching days and nights pass, quietly.
In another world, in another time, there came the "Decline", followed by the appearance of a six-headed Hydra.
A torrential, purple rain fell on the puppet's island, destroying the beloved garden and drastically changing the environment. Strange buildings emerged from nowhere, species disappeared, being replaced by odd frogs and other creatures.
In another world, in another time, the puppet put her gloves on, determined to find those responsible for this horrible mess. But who knows where this will lead her ... ?
Decline's Drops is a beautiful hand-drawn 2D platform-brawler, taking inspiration from the greatest video game classics to create a unique and unforgettable experience. Each world, each character has been meticulously designed and crafted, made with love, passion, and care. Embracing the level design mastery of Yoshi's Island, Kirby's Adventure or Shovel Knight, Decline's Drops merges it with the satisfying gameplay of the Super Smash Bros. series in a solo focused adventure, full of chickens and frogs to punch, things to explore, and secrets to find!
Dive into 6 worlds, each one of them being a subtle satire of our own world. From the destruction of the environment to the exploitation of the animals, through the pollution of the seas and the impacts of high consumerism, Decline's Drops, without being a moral speech, has a lore focused on these different aspects of society.
In Decline's Drops, you'll travel through old-school crafted worlds, each and every element being placed for an intended and specific purpose. Following the rules of the greatest game/level designers, everything has a role to play. The drops you collect give you HP bonuses, but also allow you to buy things at the shop. Defeating enemies will grant you more power, but beware: If you're hit by them, you lose that power!
Unlike most other platformers, Decline's Drops has a gameplay focused on combat: Globule has a wide range of various attacks adapted to every situation. From the classic jab to the powerful back air, enemies and level obstacles will make you use every one of them! But wait, there’s more: as you progress through your adventure, Globule will learn new special moves, such as a grab-&-throw attack, the Super Punch or the almighty GLOVE. These special moves will allow you to reach new horizons and will greatly help you during tough fights.
Mini-games, mid-bosses that block your way, submarine gloves, Arcimboldo tanks ... Decline's Drops will offer great diversity, with a strong and solid gameplay being the main focus.
Two years ago, Decline's Drops started out as a hobby project of the developer Drazglb., and currently it still is just that.
This Kickstarter aims to provide him the budget to put more time into the development of the game and bring it to the next level both in terms of quantity and quality of it's content.
Kickstarter's funding would allow him to spend all more time working on this project without being afraid of the consequences in the future. If the Kickstarter succeeds, it will also be possible to pay other talented artists to provide more integral content, such as the soundtrack and the SFX, which helps to provide the players the best experience possible in the final release!
At this stage, the first world is almost fully done and lots of concepts and mechanics for the following stages are prepared. There's still a lot of things to draw and stages to design, but the scenario of the whole game is complete and most key-mechanics implemented, and the game is progressing with strong focus on it's set goals.
With your help, the full version of Decline's Drops can become a reality until end of 2021 / beginning of 2022.
