Koku: A Void Ant

Explore a 'micro-vania' as a void ant named Koku. The Void has tasked you with acquiring bits of rainbow to feed it's appetite. But he never gave you much offensive ability, so you'll have to learn to move like a proper void ant. Pick up the carcasses of your fallen siblings to gain movement abilities.

  • VOID DASH - Stop your vertical momentum and blast forward to quickly travel or avoid impending doom.
  • VOID BALL - Turn into a little ball of void energy allowing freedom from gravity's clutches. Your small size means you can travel through small tunnels too.

Keep your eyes peeled for hidden secrets! Koku doesn't want to disappoint the void!

All Original Work

All artwork, code, music, and VFX created by Jake Abed over 9-10 gruelling days and one sleepless night.

Pixel Art

All pixel art created using Aseprite! Beautiful software!

Analogue Synth Soundtrack

All compositions performed on a Korg MS-20 and AE Modular Synthesizer run through some home-made guitar pedals. If you'd like the WAV files, I will happily share them!

GDScript Coded

It's like Python, but better. Not like it matters, since parts of the code are just duct-taped together haphazardly. But most of the time, you can't even tell ;)

Find Any Bugs? (Other than Koku...)
