Our take on Onion Assault
Its defining detail is the pairing of onion projectiles with enemy tossing, letting combat alternate between throwing a dedicated weapon and turning defeated foes into weapons.
What is Onion Assault?
Onion Assault is a 2D platforming action game set in Onionia, where an onion farmer and his mother face the invading Croquetto Empire.
Combat includes throwing onions at enemies and lifting enemies to throw them. The game draws on 8-bit-era platforming and uses 3D graphics, a distinct art style, and a custom engine.
