About the Game

You were supposed to leave planet KELVIN a week ago, but your ship was struck by space debris. Now, it is mere hours before a black hole swallows the planet, which will include you if you can't escape in time.

The gameplay of KELVIN consists of driving closer to the launch site (where you can escape the planet). There are 19 unique levels and multiple endings, as well as collectibles.

You have to manage your FUEL, SHIELD, and TEMPERATURE all while driving to the next checkpoint. If any of those run out... well, just don't let that happen.

Some levels take place outside with snowy terrain, and some levels are inside a gigantic abandoned base.

The closer you get to the launch site, the closer the black hole gets. Will you escape it in time?
