Description
Scour the land to help a narrow-sighted cyclops find his way home and reunite with his love in this single-screen platformer developed exclusively for the Playdate! Play as the eyeball of the bumbling cyclops in 45+ action-packed levels. Each stage starts with the eyeball hopping out of the cyclops's face to accomplish various tasks (clear disintegrating platforms, collect items, defeat enemies, etc.) before hopping back into the cyclops's eye socket to move onto the next stage. Inspired by Greek mythology and several classics from gaming’s past, Eye to Eye pushes to create an unforgettable entry in the action platformer genre with a heartfelt story of redemption and fighting for what's truly important - the relationships we have with the people who inhabit our lives. Featuring several themed worlds, meticulously-crafted pixel art, and a banging chiptune soundtrack by the very talented James Gameboy, composer of such Playdate classics as Initial Daydream and Lolife.
