AURA is an abstract, music-based twin-stick shooter with an emphasis on exploration.
Take control of a ship as you explore different areas, seeking out nodes that contain the fuel you need to get your mothership home.
Each node is tied to a part in the music being played, and as you gather more nodes, you will be constructing a full song, culminating in a dramatic final encounter with the guardians of each world.
I wrote all the music in the game, and Lun Cao and I completed this game in 10 weeks as our master's thesis for the Games and Playable Media program at UC Santa Cruz.
Any money made from itch.io sales will go toward getting us on Steam Greenlight! Thanks
Soundtrack coming soon-ish! I'll post here when it's out.
