 We're very excited about the launch of our new game, Thanatos! By requiring players to die in order to advance to the next level, this unique 2D puzzle platformer steers away from traditional gaming. Thanatos challenges players to think creatively, embrace failure, and navigate a world where death is not the end, but the beginning of new adventures.

Concept and Inspiration

The idea for Thanatos was born from a simple yet intriguing question: What if dying in a game was the goal rather than a setback? We wanted to explore the concept of mortality in a fun and thought-provoking way. Inspired by classic platformers and modern puzzle games, we aimed to create a world where every death brings players closer to victory.

Development and Design

Developing Thanathos took us some time, our team worked on designing intricate levels that require strategic thinking and precise timing, while each level presents a unique puzzle that players must solve by figuring out how to die in a certain way to get to the next level, this unconvenential mechanic keeps the gameplay exciting.

We focused on creating a visually appealing 2D environment with a pixel art style. The graphics are vibrant, giving players that immersion in a world that feels both playful and eerie. The soundtrack, adds an extra layer of atmosphere, enhancing the overall gaming experience.
