About the Game

Physics-Inspired Gameplay

Utilize the physical properties of your alkali metal body to react with the environment. Jump into water to explosively leap upwards, use yourself as an improvised torch to move fire, sacrifice half your mass to go through a whirling saw, or simply use the polished movement system to avoid hazards.

A Game Where Size Matters

A precision platformer without instant death. Keep your body topped off by picking up pieces of alkali metal in a world that wants to grind you down, and use your varying size to your advantage.
