Our take on ScribbleDude
The game divides exploration into seven themed areas, each with its own enemies and platforming gimmicks. That area-by-area structure gives the nonlinear platforming its defining shape.
What is ScribbleDude?
ScribbleDude is a non-linear 2D platformer about an unknown creature exploring its surroundings and opposing evil forces.
Players move through seven themed areas, each with its own enemies, platforming challenges, and gameplay gimmicks. The game combines platforming with combat and features boss encounters with multiple phases, fighting styles, and distinct attacks. Its hand-drawn graphics are animated, and exploration includes hidden secrets alongside achievements ranging from less demanding to very difficult. The game draws inspiration from older titles where challenges may take several attempts, as well as I Wanna Be the Guy and Shovel Knight.
