Stone Age Storeys

In his final words the great and  wise Caveman; Grand Dad issued a challenge:

"Build big heap slab! Four suns try reach big sky rock!

You big big stack, You big bunga! You much prize!"

You have four days to explore The Wilderness and gather as many slabs as possble! Build the biggest tower and win the inheritence!

You are a Wild Child!  

You play as “Dogskin” Dolomite. Guide Dolomite as they jump, hunt and eat!

Bring as many Slabs as you can back to your Henge. Build a  tower with as many "storeys" as possible! It's like a 3D sandbox collecthathon….in 2D!

Unga Bunga Skills!

 Use Dolomite's Wild Child abilities to overcome the perils of the Stone Age!

• Jump: use this to get to higher platforms and avoid hazards!
• Animal Dash: Unleash your inner beast! Run like an animal with super speed. 
• Throw Rock: Every  caveman understands the power of rock! Throw at beasts to hunt meat or protect yourself!
• Carry: Dolomite’s strong arms  can carry heavy objects!

Eat Meat: Get Energy

Adventuring takes a lot of energy! Carrying objects and Animal Dash will expend energy. Hunt for meat to top up!

• Eat:  Eating Raw Rabbit or Tiger meat will restore energy!
• Cook: Eating meat while at a fire will cook it. Cooked meat boosts Dolomites energy  and extend the energy meter!

Your Pet Ghost Dog!

Dolomite's weird pelt wears belonged Dane. During a particularly harsh winter one of the family skinned Dane to help Dolomite stay warm.

Ever loyal Dane won’t hesitate to help his master. He'll offer advice, and as a spirit Dane may have secret powers...

Project
Stone Age Storeys is a love letter to experimental 6th gen games like Pikmin or Cubivore and collectathon platformers like Mario 64 or Banjo Kazooie with a bit of Breath of the Wild sprinkled in. The visuals aimed to be something you'd see on Gameboy Advance or an early 2D Nintendo DS game.

It's playable with Keyboard or Gamepad.
