🏒 A small indie platformer inspired by rink hockey — and the dream of a young player.
Hi everyone!
My name is Raymond (also known as **TheRyCer**), and I’m currently developing a small indie game called El Viaje de Des (Des's Journey) .
👉 https://therycer.itch.io/el-viaje-de-des
The game is a story-driven 2D action platformer inspired by arcade classics, where you play as Des, a young player fighting rival teams and powerful bosses on his journey to reach Europe.
But this project has a deeper story behind it.
My *13-year-old son plays rink hockey*, and one of the main reasons I started this project was to help share this amazing sport with more people around the world.
Outside of a few countries in Europe, many players have never even heard of rink hockey.
So this game is my way of helping introduce the sport through a fun platformer adventure.
The gameplay includes:
- Fast arcade-style combat
- Boss and superboss encounters
- Pattern-based enemy fights
- Stamina and charged attacks
- Power-ups that change combat style
- Story moments inspired by young athletes chasing big dreams
The game currently supports multiple languages:
- Spanish
- English
- Portuguese
- Italian
- French
I'm actively improving the game based on player feedback.
The other day I stayed up late with feedbacks and sugestion (including the multi-language!), and I’d love to hear more ideas.
If you enjoy platformers, boss fights, or discovering unusual sports, I’d really appreciate it if you gave the game a try.
Even more important:
**I would love any kind of feedback.**
Gameplay feedback, Difficulty feedback, Ideas for bosses or mechanics, Visual feedback, Anything that could help improve the game
Even small comments help a lot.
If the game helps even a few players discover rink hockey, then this project is already a success.
Thank you so much for taking a look!
🏒
