Pengus Quest

Overview

Pengus Quest is a platformer inspired by the movement of Jump King, but interpreted in a 3D world and space. The central mechanic is a charged jump that prompts the player to handle both direction and power while climbing a procedurally generated tower.

This is a solo project created in Unreal Engine entirely using Blueprints.

Features

• The jump uses projectile trajectory physics to create the jump trajectory.
• Added various accessibility options:
  • A visual bar showing jump power.
  • Jump direction set using either the camera direction or the direction the character faces.
  • An optional trajectory line showing the current jump path.
  • A checkpoint system.
• Procedural tower generation per run with pools of levels for each section of the game.
• Seeded runs where the same seed always generates the same levels.
• Three different types of obstacles.
• Timed run system with online leaderboards integration.
• Modelled, rigged and animated the player character.
