BLYUE
A downloadable game
Take a journey into a long lost promotional blast from the past! In 2001, Florp Corp. created a CD-ROM to promote their "BLYUE" soda, which contained a 3D platformer game themed around the product. However not long after the game released, BLYUE was pulled from shelves for undisclosed reasons, with Florp Corp. going out of business soon after. The game faded into obscurity, with only so many copies of the game in circulation. However, a disc containing portions of the game was recently rediscovered and dumped onto the internet for all to see, and this is the build you see today!

Very cool little game! Immaculate vibes all around. I kind of wish there was an in-game timer though, being able to like personally speedrun this would of had increased the replayability for me like ten fold.
Also I wish the character ran faster or had a few extra methods of traversal, at the moment the most efficient way to get around is to move... diagonally? Kinda weird but I guess the jank would make sense given the game's story/theming.
But this is a very good and polished little game! Good job, y'all :D
Gave this game a spin a minute ago, very fun little platformer with immaculate vibes! Boy I could go for a soda rn
Insanely good! love the theme, very fruiteger Aero. I love ittttttt
Thank you! We had tons of fun leaning into the aesthetic :0)
this is a super cool impressive game!! my college major club went over this game today while looking at a bunch of other games from this jam and we were all really impressed! we did notice a folder in the download labeled "BurstDebug_DoNotShip" and we were pretty sure that folder can contain system information about what system it was built from, so i figured i should say something if that'd be an issue for you. super great job nonetheless! we all really vibed with the y2k style and how the game plays.
Oops! Thanks for letting us know, I updated the download to remove the debug stuff.
I'm glad to hear you all enjoyed the game! We had a ton of fun working on it!
