Ivory Springs was a platformer that Joakim Sandberg developed around 2007~2009 years, but he never finished the game. Joakim later released an unfinished version of the game as a freeware, and used the concepts from this game for a commercial game Iconoclasts
Comments and reviews
A good platformer with overly complicated mechanics employed to achieve opening many many doors,it has an annoying non re definable keyboard control layout that is easy to get wrong at key moments under pressure,an in game save system that is level by level only,there's some clever puzzle elements just to allow opening a door,timing a door and using it as it falls,then jumping on to it as it goes down to access a too high platform,it includes a LOT of intrusive and overly long RPG story elements and a back story that i found just gets in the way of actually doing the platform bits,it is part of the game play,so you can't skip it as you need to do things to acquire an item to progress,so going to a friends house,then doing something that unlocks another RPG scene,then getting arrested and put in cell,but in the beginning you end up going to an out of the way boss match,then having to go back to your house to get a wrench which you need to open the doors further on the opposite way,so it was in your bedroom all the while?!,so i have no idea if i needed to do the boss match thing or what,the game over all needs a lot of practice to master and is confusing at times.
