Meet Manley Mann, a brawny carpenter on a mission to redeem his past
life and put the “unity” back in his community by building things they
need. You traverse the neighbourhood in a 2D side-scrolling
‘build-em-up’ arcade-style adventure, salvaging lumber and hardware and
interacting with the neighbourhood denizens. You’ll use your vast
muscles to help with tasks, and build stuff for the community using your
flashy signature hammer strike. Manley Mann plays with the vintage game
feel as in arcade classics, but under the hood you’ll find meaningful
character interaction with loads of humour and heart.
Con attendees will be able to play the demo level highlighting the core
loops and mechanics, including several NPCs with dialog and endless task
loops for continuous play. Target for Early Access is Q1 2027.
