Traxmaster Software revealed that the upcoming 2.5D combat platformer, Exception, will launch on PC, Playstation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch for $14.99/€12.49 on August 13th. To mark the occasion, the one man indie developer today released a gameplay trailer showcasing the unique level shifting mechanic, which combines two-dimensional action with a three-dimensional world, that offers that oomph platforming fans are looking for.
“As an avid gamer myself I’ve found that platforming games have
gradually become more and more difficult, so I decided to create
something new for the genre – Exception gives players the
opportunity to choose your own play style and reward you for it,” said
Will Traxler, Founder of Traxmaster Software. “I am really looking
forward to the release and hope everyone will enjoy this fresh twist on
the platforming genre!”
In Exception an old woman’s computer has been taken over by
‘Titan’, a totalitarian virus set to destroy the operating system.
Players take on the role of a hero who must vanquish the malicious
invader that is crippling the system before it crashes. Using easy
controls, traverse through timed byte-sized levels, overcome various
obstacles and enemies as quickly as possible to secure a place on one of
the online leaderboards catered to different playstyles. Whether the
player chooses an evasion tactic or straight up combat, Exception’s
classic platforming experience features an innovative level shifting
mechanic, which spices up the gameplay and reveals secret pathways and
collectables.
