You are the Hero.

Anti-Hero is the platformer games name. One’s worst enemy is yourself.
You should find that enemy that make you, your own Anti-Hero and
combat it. Anti-Hero is the main character (Hero) that does not
act like the Hero.

The empty space where the "T" stretches over the "i" represents the
emptiness within the player themself. The player should find a way
of dealing with their emotions and fill up the hole.
Players confront their insecurities to foster growth and
self-improvement. We all play both Archer and Prey at
different times in life. Now is the time to face our reflections
and emerge stronger.

Develop a new 2D/3D side-scrolling platformer that
captures the spirit of classic platformers with your
creative twist.

Your game concept should include an unique indie 2D/3D platformer
franchise with fresh goals and objectives inspired by traditional
platformers.

A hero character with a sprite sheet covering all primary movements.
Enemies, collectibles, puzzles, and environments within a single,
continuous level. Essential UI elements: title design, launch screen,
menu, HUD, and a tutorial level.

has multiple aspects to it. This game explores:
