Published on 2025-05-07

Hello, hi. Today I will show you the game E428.

E428 is a 2D pixel art platform game developed on Unity back in 2022. In this game, the player takes on the role of Glucose, a slime made of corn syrup that has escaped from its production line in a food factory. During his journey to escape the factory and regain his freedom, Glucose encounters all sorts of creatures and machines that he will have to fight abthat will help him learn more about the factory and the events taking place inside.

Gameplay

E428 is a classic 2D pixel art platform game. The player must complete the level without losing all their health and can fight or avoid the monsters that roam the area.

The game has 4 distinct levels:

  • The warehouse
  • Product processing
  • The laboratory
  • The maintenance area

Each level contains specific enemies as well as knowledgeable characters who speak to Glucose about their misadventures to help him progress.

In addition to the classic enemies, at the end of each level, Glucose has to fight a boss in a new arena. Each boss has unique attacks and patterns.
