Gameplay
Gameplay
• Illustration — One of the levels of Awaria. The player controls Ula (the purple figure, bottom center), in order to evade the green ghosts and their attacks. The player controls a mechanic, Ula, who runs through the game's small top-down levels attempting to fix broken generators by crafting and carrying details, while evading the attacks of increasingly aggressive ghosts. Depending on the difficulty level, getting hit by a ghost's attack decreases hitpoints and eventually leads to a game over. If Ula manages to evade the ghosts and fix the machines, she can talk to the ghosts and kiss them at the end of each level, and move to the next one.
Development
Development
Awaria is a stylistic follow-up to Piskorz's 2020 game Helltaker, though it is thematically and mechanically different. "Awaria" means "mechanical breakdown" or "failure" in Polish. The soundtrack was composed by Mittsies, who had also previously worked on Helltaker, while the sound design was done by Patryk Karwat.
