About the Game

Newton's first law states that an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted on by an outside force. That's easy to forget on earth with our thick atmosphere and grippy terrain but on the ice moon Europa, with little air and icy ground, the only thing that will stop you is yourself.

  • Newtonian physics based 2D platformer
  • Simple but hard controls
  • Increasingly difficult challenges
  • Retro pixel art style
  • Sensitive Gyroscopes

Play as a probe sent to Europa as you make your way home through hazardous ice caves. One mistake can send you back to the beginning! Manage your linear and angular momentum as even the slightest bump can make you lose control. Avoid obstacles like giant snowballs and gravity-wells while collecting terminals. Escape the Ice caves and return to earth!
