⪻⪦ COMPASS Ⅲ: VAGABOND ⪧⪼ opens with you waking on the cold ground of a lonely planet. Your memories are gone, and so are any signs of life — except a fire alight within you, calling you onward. Will you capture that spark and make it back home, or will this dark planet snuff it out forever?
The third entry in finnagin5's Compass series is a short action-adventure platformer with deep lore and alien superpowers. Navigate a large handcrafted world, discover and create over 20 unique weapons, and survive an ecosystem of territorial aliens who fight each other as much as they fight you. Equip powerups to shape your build, uncover the dark secrets of your past, and follow the path of the mysterious Vagabond to learn what became of them.
Made with GIMP, FL Studio and Scratch — a one-developer labor of love, free in your browser.
