After a long and gruelling quest, our small but brave knight finally sets paw toward home. The journey back is no simple stroll — the road home will be a dangerous one. Armed with determination, you must guide our hero through treacherous terrain, and make it back to where the heart is.
BackTrack is built entirely from scratch using industry-standard tools — no game engine, just raw code and a passion for precision.
The entire game is written in modern C++, giving full control over memory, performance, and game logic. From entity management to collision detection, everything runs close to the metal.
LanguageSimple and Fast Multimedia Library (SFML) 3.0 handles windowing, rendering, audio, and input. The latest version brings improved APIs and better support for modern C++ patterns.
LibraryBackTrack is more than a simple platformer — it features several interconnected systems that bring the world and its story to life.
A dynamic health system tracks damage from world hazards, with visual feedback that keep tension alive throughout each level.
A built-in level editor allows full custom level creation — place tiles, create terrain, add traps and design entire worlds without leaving the game.
Collect different kinds of potions and watch our hero gain new abilites! Items affect stats, abilities, and open new ways to tackle challenges.
Tight, responsive platformer controls built from scratch — jumping, running, and landing all feel exactly as a cat knight should feel: nimble and precise.
Every sprite, tile, and animation is hand-crafted with a warm, expressive pixel art style — bringing the world of BackTrack to life one pixel at a time.
