About the Game

Aura of Worlds is a creative tactics rogue-lite platformer. Explore multiple worlds where you must utilize your creative abilities to twist adversity to your advantage. You'll need planning, wits, and reflexes to make your way through these ever-changing death labyrinths.

Expect to die. A lot. This isn’t just about reflexes—it’s about outsmarting the chaos. Each challenge has multiple solutions, and every failure is a step toward mastery. But don’t worry—no grind to win or unfair one-hit deaths here. You’ll always have a fighting chance… if you’re clever enough.

Escape flooding passages, outrun toxic pollen, and battle gargantuan bosses that have made entire mazes their domain. Will you play it safe with a spear and energy shield, or swing into danger with a boomerang and grapple hook? Will you scour the ruins for hidden relics, or dive headfirst into the unknown?

  • Creative Problem-Solving – There’s always more than one way forward! Grapple across pits, explode barriers, slow time, or even turn enemies against each other. Every object has multiple uses—grab a lantern from the ceiling and use it as a portable light source or an improvised flaming Molotov.

  • Diverse Combat & Playstyles: Wield an arsenal of weapons and abilities: slash with a sword, attack from range, enthral enemies, or manipulate the environment. Choose between fast melee strikes, ranged precision, or experimental tactics like warping time and cloaking.

  • Ever-Changing Death Labyrinths: Procedurally generated worlds with shifting layouts, dynamic hazards, and unpredictable challenges. Explore 12+ unique level themes and 6 primary world types, each filled with unique traps, powerful enemies, and devious secrets.

  • Over 100 Deadly Enemies & Traps: Battle relentless foes, dodge lethal hazards, and out think colossal bosses that test both quick reflexes and lateral thinking.

  • Unlockables & Progression: Find powerful artifacts, equip game-changing perks, and unlock new starting gear and world shortcuts to expand your options in every run.

  • Handcrafted Pixel Art & Unique Score: A stunning blend of retro visuals, fluid animations, and an atmospheric soundtrack brings each deadly world to life.
