In the beginning, there is an idea


The idea for this game came up while participating in an itch.io mini jam. Its theme was something like “gravity is under your control” which instantly caught my interest. As with most of those mini jams I participate, time went so fast and most of it I was playing games by myself or watching one of my favorite twitch streamers playing portal reloaded.

At the end of that weekend I found myself having nothing done, but having the idea of puzzle rooms like we all know, but with gravity as part of the puzzle mechanics. I felt the potential of this may be powerful enough to create quite a lot of puzzles variations and fun to fill a real size game.

With this idea, I started the actual prototype (demo), based on Unity Standard First Person Template, adding UI and sounds bought on sale from the Unity Asset Store. The levels are created in blender and are brought to life in Unity at runtime.

The production of the prototype was quite fast, if I would have the idea before the mini jam, the prototype may have made it in time - Never mind.

The mini jam ended, but with finding this idea, the story of this game has just begun.
