About the Game


State of Matter is a First-Person Puzzle Action Shooter utilizing a new element and its three states of matter to traverse through a derelict mining outpost in the Kuiper Belt. Armed with an experimental mining tool, you must solve puzzles and defeat enemies as you delve deeper into the facility, unlocking the mysteries of the past.

Explore the Facility

Use your mining tool, the Phasm IV SLG, to fire matter in its 3 different states to solve puzzles to traverse the environment. Whether you use high temperature gas to melt ice in your way, solid crystals to create platforms in the environment, or any other combination, you'll have to work with the interplay between the states of matter to make your way through.

Fight the Robots

The facility is still full of mining robots, all in self-defense mode trying to keep anyone they see out. Each state affects the enemies in a different way - you'll have to experiment to find the best way to keep yourself safe.

Discover the Truth

While working your way to the core of the facility, explore your environment to find out the truth about what happened to the scientists. Was it an accident, or something more sinister?
