Brief Overview
Unicorn Wars is a handcrafted action-platformer that blends whimsical imagery with brutal storytelling. Drawing inspiration from Alberto Vázquez’s award-winning animated feature, the game stages a violent clash between toy-like teddy bear soldiers and invading unicorns. It aims to pair polished platforming with a narrative that is at once charming and unsettling.

The plot centers on their effort to stop a unicorn assault and preserve their teddy-bear society. The world is richly illustrated and steeped in dark fantasy, underscoring a tone of honor, suffering, and unexpected tenderness.

Visual Style, Tone, and Localization
