About the Game

A physics-based roguelike puzzle adventure where you use random tools to tackle levels any way you can imagine

Every level can be completed in almost infinite ways and every element can interact with each other.

Something blocks your way? Make it movable!

Or just freeze a platform to make it brittle

And you can always use glue to attach objects to each other

Everything works with everything: find YOUR creative solutions!

In 20XX, a massive asteroid hurtles toward Earth, only to stop at the last moment, hovering above the planet. Within its core lies a wealth of rare materials, sparking a global mining operation that has been extracting resources for 25 years.

You play as Gustav, a seasoned worker selected for a high-stakes mission. A strange signal emanates from deep within the asteroid, and a team is sent to investigate. But as you descend into the heart of the asteroid, reality begins to warp: time and space bend, and your team vanishes, leaving you alone. With no way to return, your only option is to push forward.

Will you reach the core and uncover the mystery of the asteroid, or be lost forever in its depths?

  • Procedurally generated maps: Each run is unique, challenging you to adapt your strategy. Will you rush for the exit, or take the time to gather powerful tools to tackle tougher levels?

  • 100+ handmade levels

  • 20+ tools to interact with the environment

  • ???+ narrative vignettes
