The Developer Says...
A Game Called Paako is a pixel-art 2D platformer metagame that tells the story of a game major graduate student making his thesis game project: A Game Called Paako.
- Quality-certified double jump and wall jump mechanics. (Very old-school)
- A fishing minigame. (Of course)
- Watch a talk show. (Why?)
- Find a job. (Or at least try to)
- Listen to your own echo. (No, I don’t have one)
A Game Called Paako is initially an MFA thesis project at the University of Southern California created by Chaoran Huang, developed with help of Team Paako.
