Our take on Gelu

Gelu’s defining mechanic is the limited supply of ice copies: each duplicate can support climbing and obstacle traversal, then be destroyed when the route requires a different arrangement.

What is Gelu?

Gelu is a 2D pixel platformer in which the main character searches for a crowbar to open a broken elevator.

He can produce ice copies of himself a limited number of times and destroy them when needed. The copies let Gelu climb platforms, cross obstacles, and progress through the levels. Controls include A and D for movement, W for jumping, Spacebar for creating an ice block, right-click for destroying one, R for restarting, and P for pausing.

How Gelu plays

01Limited Ice Copies: Gelu can create and destroy his ice duplicates only a limited number of times.
02Crowbar Objective: The character must find a crowbar to open the broken elevator.
03Platform Traversal: Ice copies provide climbing support while Gelu moves through obstacles and levels.
