Exception is an action platformer set inside an elderly woman’s computer which has been crippled by malware. Players must battle insidious programs which have taken control of her computer operating system.

HISTORY

Exception traces its roots back to the original NES and the simple, uncomplicated fun of running around and smacking stuff with a sword. While gaming technology has advanced far beyond the NES days, so has the complexity of the games produced. Frustration with modern titles that overwhelm the player with tutorials led to a desire to create a game that uses a simple control scheme to produce a rich gaming experience.

WHAT’S NEW

Exception introduces a new mechanic to the traditional platforming genre – levels that transform by rotating and moving during gameplay. These features enable new design elements which, when paired with familiar platformer controls, create a uniquely exciting experience.
