Chimeric Exile

game illustration motion code



Chimeric Exile places you in the role of a newly formed alien bio-weapon, discarded from a mysterious laboratory onto a perilous, uncharted planet. Hunted by bizarre creatures and hostile forces, you must adapt and evolve to survive. Consuming defeated enemies, you can unlock new forms and abilities — vital for overcoming devious environmental puzzles and battling ever-tougher foes.

Created for Pirate Jam 16, from brainstorm to completion in 2 weeks. Art direction, level design, illustration, sprites, tilemap and animations by myself. Code + mechanics joint with team mate vinylminty. Original retro soundtrack and FX by team mate MouthHole.

Chimeric Exile offers a single, challenging level inspired by the spirit of classic Metroidvania and megaman games.

Despite its cute visuals, the difficulty is fierce — don’t give up!
