Hotfix 1.0.1! :)-Fixed Titlescreen music turning off when trying to load with no save. (I think)
-Fixed getting stuck on the tileset in Taurus (At the expense of hitting the head when jumping sometimes)
-Fixed Gravity in Aquarius and some water stages.
-Attempted to fix fish attacking the big fish from underneath in Pisces (Please get back to me on if this works.
-Every pet is now a checkpoint! No longer will you miss pets because of dying before you reach a checkpoint post petting.
-Toned down the difficulty in Leo's last part.
-Removed Spiker in Libra that would glitch often after the first checkpoint.
-Toned down the Player knockback a little bit (But not too much, its meant to be unforgiving >:D)
-Fixed some tileset aesthetic issues.
Thank you all for buying and playing my game! It is SUPER appreciated! :)
[ 2022-10-20 20:14:25 CET ] [ Original post ] Horoscopicus is a game inspired by 2D platformers from a certain incredibly well known portable console from the 90s!
Play as
Horo in this 2D Retro platformer and try your best to collect the 12 zodiac signs (
AND PET THE SECRET ANIMALS) so that you may unlock the door to the mysterious 13th zodiac!


- Explore 12 levels + Special versions, all inspired by their own unique zodiac sign!
- Choose your own path! The initial 12 levels can be played in any order!
- 4 Different upgrade types which change character visuals to match!
- Find and PET 12 DIFFERENT SECRET ANIMALS! :D
- A multi-stage final boss!
- Several selectable screen borders! (Can you find out how to change them?)
- Lots of references to other games and media!
- Simple controls! (A Jump button, an Attack button and directional keys for Movement.)
- An assist/accessibility mode that can help with those particularly tough sections!
- An amazingly unique soundtrack made by Laila Kalantari!
- One difficulty, tailored to be the intended experience!
- Speedrun friendly! (Enemies behave under cycles)
- Total length of the game should be around 2h~, though it highly depends from player to player! :)


Disclaimer:
This is my first big game and it was completed
mostly as a solo project.
While I got some help during development, expect a more "traditional indie" quality to the game! :)
Nonetheless, I hope you manage to enjoy it regardless!
