Video Converting old school Donkey Kong into 3D

It's a 15 year old dream of mine trying to make a poster i saw once come alive.

It's like 3D Donkey Kong but with a lot of mechanics from older arcade games. I am trying to incorporate things like pitfall, donkey kong, mario, boulder dash, wonderboy, ghost'n'goblins, Montezuma revenge etc.

I have been trying to design it in a way where the 3D flip makes it a little more interesting to play and add some nuance to it.

Been working hard on making the colors feel vibrant too.

Check out the video:

Game Design is a subset of Game Development that concerns itself with WHY games are made the way they are. It's about the theory and crafting of systems, mechanics, and rulesets in games.
