Soulbound Mechanika

Soulbound Mechanika is a fast-paced, single-player 2D action-strategy game where you switch between your physical form and an electric ghost to survive. Gather materials, craft ammo, and power up turrets to fight back waves of relentless enemies.

Features:

• Dual-Form Gameplay – Play as Reese in her physical form to collect materials and build, and transform into an electric ghost to deal damage and control turrets.
• Dynamic Resource Management – Strategically gather resources, assemble ammo, and keep your machines running.
• Action-Packed Combat – Use your ghostly dash to evade and strike enemies, or possess turrets to unleash firepower.
• Unique Pixel-Art Aesthetic – A dimetric 4:3 isometric perspective with glowing spiritual energy effects.
• Fast-Paced Strategy – Adapt quickly as new enemies and mechanics are introduced each level.

Control Scheme:

• All movements: WASD

• Enter or leave electric ghost form = Q

• Physical form:
  • Grab or drop of items while at machine stations: E

• Electric ghost form:
  • Enter/Exit machine stations to generate/craft/utilize items: E
  • Electric ghost dash to kill/stun enemies: Hold left-click, drag mouse to aim, release to dash. 
  • Shoot with the turret: Hold left-click

Note: there is a cooldown to electric ghost dash! If you manage to stun/kill enemy, it will give you a 1 second window to dash right away! Alternatively, immediately go switch back to physical form & back to ghost form to reset cooldown immediately, what a feature! (Bug that has been decided to be kept because its fun to do) 

Known Issue:

Dragging hold left-click to aim during dash is a bit janky in the web build. Have tried multiple mouse modes & other options, but at this time the properly working one exist on the downloadable pc build
