Joacă El Salar Demo

Despre acest demo

A young flamingo is left behind during migration season. In search of Illapa, the Ancient God who might teach him to fly, he embarks on a journey of self-discovery and spirituality, inspired by Bolivian folklore.

EL SALAR is a top-down adventure game with aesthetics reminiscent of early 2D Zelda, Undertale, and the Mother series. However, its mechanics are more aligned with the Oddworld series, focusing less on direct combat and more on outwitting or outrunning enemies.

In this game, players simultaneously control Galaxia, a flamingo, and Charango, a quirquincho (an Andean armadillo), in a unique "single-player co-op" mode. Each character is controlled with one hand in a coordination exercise, requiring them to work together to solve puzzles and reach the mysterious god, Illapa.



The art style is directly inspired by "Aguayos," traditional Andean wool art made in colorful patterns. The settings draw inspiration from Bolivian landscapes, and the score blends Andean folklore with electronic ambient music.
