Evaluation

Aaru's Awakening launched on February 23, 2015 as a complete, self-contained 2D action platformer. Following launch, the developer shipped two feature patches in quick succession — on February 25 and March 6, 2015 — addressing player feedback around difficulty, controls, and pacing. These were polish and improvement updates, not content expansions. The last developer communication was on March 6, 2015. There have been no announcements of DLC, expansions, or additional content at any point, and the store description makes no mention of planned post-launch content. The game has no DLC listings. With no post-launch content ever announced and no developer activity since March 2015, the game was clearly shipped as a finished product and has been complete since the final patch on March 6, 2015.

About this game

Aaru's Awakening is a hand-drawn, fast-paced 2D action platformer. The game puts players in charge of Aaru, a mythical creature with two unique abilities teleportation and charging. He uses these abilities as he travels through the dangerous world of Lumenox to defeat an evil entity. These two abilities are at the heart of every level design throughout the game, to make for a challenging and fluid experience. The levels require players to make split second decisions whilst completing fast-paced puzzles.
