Excelsior
About
Excelsior is a gameboy color game made in GBStudio, where the player is a puzzle adventurer exploring converted towers in a richly built scenic backdrop.
With puzzles adapted from celebrated writer Arthur DiBianca's puzzle IF game Excelsior.
Status
Excelsior now has a public demo. Unfortunately the Kickstarter did not reach its funding goal, and so we will be looking at other avenues for our game development direction and Excelsior will be put on hiatus for the foreseeable future. Please enjoy the demo in its final form, and we thank you for your interest.
