Senioritis

About

Senioritis is a 2D retro-style platformer where you play as Julian "JD" Davenport, a high school senior battling tedious homework and local troublemakers. The game mixes side-scrolling platforming with humorous schoolyard scenarios, as you navigate classrooms, dodge obstacles, and face off against the smug Quince Vanderson. Each level feels like a test of reflexes and timing, with collectibles and secrets hidden throughout. The focus stays sharp on the absurdity of senior-year burnout, turning algebra problems and pop quizzes into literal hurdles. The game’s charm comes from its pixel art and snappy dialogue, which lean into high school stereotypes without overdoing it. Quince’s antagonistic antics provide a consistent punchline, and the controls are tight enough to keep the platforming satisfying. While the story doesn’t stretch beyond the setup, the 5-7 hour runtime moves quickly, and the retro soundtrack adds to the nostalgic vibe. Community feedback highlights the humor and simplicity, with many calling it a fun, bite-sized trip down memory lane.
