Sheru

Sheru (Prototype)

A peaceful underground world.

Sheru is a small prototype for a 2D exploration game, inspired by Metroidvanias. You play as a little shell spider waking up in a strange, peaceful underground world—except something’s not quite right. A firefly mother asks for your help to find her missing children, and from there, you start exploring the glowing, vibrant caves.

🕹️ Gameplay (Prototype Focus)

• Use a web-swinging mechanic to traverse the caves.

• Meet characters, find the fireflies, and explore a handcrafted slice of the world.

🎮 Controls (Keyboard & Mouse)

🌊 Visual Style & World

• Inspired by real-world environments like coral reefs, underwater forests, Tsingy stone formations, and glowing mushrooms.

• Artistic inspirations include Hollow Knight, Ori, and Avatar.

💡 Note: This is an early prototype showcasing core movement and world-building elements. Feedback is welcome as Sheru continues to grow!
