Save Your Creator, Debug the World
When a corrupted AI named NullPointerus kidnaps their creator, Leo, twin sister programs Tulip and Daisy must hack, fight, and platform their way through nine digital worlds to save him
Step into a vibrant cyberpunk adventure where every line of code matters, and face off against the ultimate null pointer exception
Master Dual Combat
Code Tulip is a 2D action Metroidvania that blends fast-paced sword combat with tactical support gameplay
Play solo by switching between Tulip's aggressive, high-risk melee style and Daisy's tactical ranged abilities, or team up in seamless local co-op featuring asymmetric abilities that complement each other
Combat requires strategic CPU resource management, where executing abilities costs processing power, and exceeding your limits results in a dangerous Overheat penalty
Refactor Reality
Experience the ultimate power fantasy of being both a skilled warrior and a master programmer
By toggling your VR Goggles, you can view and manipulate the underlying code of your environment
Overcome obstacles by solving intricate programming puzzles—manipulate variables, modify conditional logic, adjust function parameters, and break infinite loops to debug the world around you
Explore a Vast Interconnected System
Navigate through nine distinct, high-resolution pixel art worlds themed around computer science concepts, from the frozen data streams of Frost World to the vintage mainframes of the Legacy Ruins
As you progress and defeat over 30 multi-phase bosses, you will unlock versatile traversal abilities like the Lambda Leap teleport, Code Freeze, and Query Grappling Hook
These powers encourage you to backtrack and explore previously inaccessible areas to uncover hidden code caches, lore archives, and over 100 collectibles
Key Features:
Dual Protagonist Action: Swap between Tulip (aggressive DPS) and Daisy (utility support) in single-player, or join forces in local co-op featuring unique combo attacks and revives
Environmental Hacking: Use your VR Goggles to literally rewrite the rules of reality by editing environmental code to solve puzzles
Challenging Encounters: Test your mastery against 30+ multi-phase bosses designed with clear visual tells that reward pattern recognition and skill
