Game Information
Absorption Knight is a single-player, 2D action-adventure side-scrolling game. You play as the young explorer Teodoro who encounters a tsunami during his adventure. Our protagonist will fight against monsters and build close relationships with villagers on the mysterious island to find the way home. Along the journey, Teodoro gradually finds the secrets behind the incredible magical power. The main story is narrated by dialogues after boss battles and between Teodoro and villagers. The player needs to collect energy balls dropped from dead monsters as fuel for the magical crystal. When the player launches the magical crystal, Teodoro will be sent back to the original world.
The player controls the character movement via a touch-based interface. The player can explore the island to meet different villagers, monsters, and bosses. The character has abilities to attack and dodging enemies.
After killing some of the enemies, the character can absorb the special attack skill of that enemy. However, the excessive killing will result in a decrease in mental value which will debuff the character in other ways. The character also can pray for monsters to increase the mental value. Also, the character can get missions from villagers and trade items.

Storyline of Game
Long ago, people around the world were fascinated by a mysterious magical power, so was the young explorer Teodoro. Many people failed and paid with their lives in pursuing such incredible power. That day, Teodoro woke up on a mysterious island, having no idea what to do........
The natives (or residents) saved Teodoro's life, and the elders in the village told him that "The magical power the world desired originates from here. People would lose themselves even become monsters if they overused the cursed magic power." Albeit with some hesitations, Teodoro determined to find the secrets of the power. His journey started......
Level Design
Level-1
Level 1 contains two sub-maps including a store and a boss room. At the end of level 1, players are able to have two options: directly heading to the village without encountering any danger or fighting with an elite monster in the boss room. Our team plans to add more innovative things into this map later such as vertically secret extension maps, new enemy characters, and so forth.
Level-2
This is the overview of level 2 with decorations and enemies. The dead forest fills with a bunch of withered trees, dead grass and poisonous mushrooms. MC can choose to go to the next level through the ground, or to achieve the same goal by jumping between the slabs. Either path, MC will encounter two goblins and one enemy bird. Level 2 also contains an optional sub-map, a boss room. To enter the next level, MC must enter the boss room and beat the cat knight boss.
Level-3
This is an overview of the level 3 map. The theme of this stage is cave so players can see the background of dark cave scenes. Among the rocks there are relics which have been wasted for long, and now they are home to dangerous creatures.

There is an entrance on the top-left corner, which can be accessed from the village map. Three exits are located on the other 3 corners of the map. The bottom-left exist leads to the entrance of this map, the up-right one takes the player back to Level - 2, and the bottom-right exit connects with the entrance of Level - 4.
Level-4
Level 4 is a large map with the background is a large lava cave. MC can get to this map from Level 3. Lava is very dangerous, and therefore if the MC fall into lava, he would die immediately.

After beating the final boss, MC can go to level-5 on top of the right in the map, which is the final level of this game.
