We’ve just submitted Rex Engine v 1.02! This update adds a bunch of new features to the Unity-based sidescroller engine, including:
We’ll have more updates with additional platformer mechanics in the near future!
You can get the latest version of Rex Engine here!
We’ve just released v1.01 of Rex Engine, our 2D platformer engine for Unity! This new version adds a bunch of quality of life features, as well as the ability to fire charge shots, Mega Man-style!
Rex Engine is a game engine specializing in helping you create 2D sidescrollers. It gives you a crunchy, custom 2D physics engine, and gives you access to a huge library of classic game mechanics like running, jumping, and attacking with the press of a button.
Athena knows the trick to looking heroic: find a cliff, stand on it, and look upwards.
Fortis, our dastardly villain of “Seafoam Empress”.
It would appear that our favourite valkyrie-mermaid is quite the equestrian, seeing as there’s another steed at her disposal. Not only does she manage to roam on land with the help of her long-legged froggy friend, but she can also eventually take to the skies by riding on an armoured, winged seahorse.
Athena has proven that just because one is a mermaid doesn’t mean she’s stuck in the sea her entire life. Having conquered sea, land, and sky, what could possibly be left?
Oh, right. Space, the final frontier. Clearly our next post will include a manta ray in a spacesuit.
Some animation frames for the seahorse character.
Hope everyone’s having a great 2016 so far!

Botany must be a risky science in the world of Casuma (the world in which Seafoam Empress is set — yes, it has a name now and everything).
I imagine a plant that spits out fireballs would be slightly hotter than a jalapeño. Mmm, tasty.
Here we’re featuring a couple plant enemies: one is a bulb that tracks your movement and shoots fireballs, and the other is a lily pad that snaps at you if you remain on it for too long.
And not even something as ostensibly innocent as a lily pad can be trusted!
Oh snap.
