GotMAward.png Annalynn was named Game of the Month in March 2016.

Annalynn is a game by Cruise Elroy (known at the time as Blutorus), and is the winning entry of the Super Competition #1 - 2016. The game is made to imitate the style of arcade games from the early 80s. It won the Game of the Month award of March 2016.

Story

The game stars Annalynn, a free-time spelunker that enjoys exploration. She was spelunking in a familiar cave, and found a hidden crevasse that she has never seen before. Unable to resist the possibility of adventure, Annalynn crawled through the crevasse and then found herself in a land that contains some riches, along with the Venom Brood, a family of dangerous snakes. She must now defend herself from the snakes by using blinding rubies, a once-lost type of magic gems, while she tries to collect a lot of loot along the way.

Gameplay

Annalynn plays a lot like a platformer version of the game, Pac-Man. The player controls Annalynn, who can run and jump. The goal is to collect all of the coins and rubies in the level while avoiding the four snakes. The snakes spawn from above, and they can slither across floors that are on the background and enter background tunnels, which can take them to another background tunnel.

The player has a set amount of lives, which can be lost on contact with a snake. Losing all of their lives will result in the end of the game. If the player manages to grab a Blinding Ruby, the snakes will temporarily enter a state where, if they touch Annalynn, they will disappear and the player will earn points. From time to time, food can spawn in the center of the level. If the player grabs the food before it disappears, bonus points will be earned.

Like most of the arcade games from the early 80s, the player can set the game to have either one or two players. When set to two players, the players take turns and hold their individual score.

2021 Edition

Cruise Elroy developed a remake of the game with an updated engine, improved graphics and sound, and more levels to play through. The game was released on January 29, 2021 on Steam. A port for the Nintendo Switch was released on June 7, 2023.
