DKC2 Level Recreation

I've been working on this on and off from March 2023 to Feb 2024. It's a recreation of a DKC2 level, Kannon's Klaim.
I prioritized making the gameplay as similar as possible, and it paid off. A surprising amount of specific details go into a game like this after studying the original very closely. I have several reasons why I wanted to do this project:

• I wanted to make this because I wanted to learn the Corgi Engine asset
• I've always loved this game franchise and is the strongest inspiration for me.
• I want to make a personal game project that is mechanically similar to the DKC games, so learning more about the process for making a game like this is helpful.

Some tools I used are DKC atlas for understanding the map, and Aseprite for getting all the prop animations together instead of making the unity animations myself.

The game is not downloadable due to copyright materials.

The music is from the wonderful Jammin' Sam Miller (Mining Melancholy 2023 edition)
