7 itemsAbout the Game
Warning: This game contains flashing patterns that might be disruptive to people with photosensitive epilepsy.
Uranus is a kaleidoscopic audiovisual playscape. It features procedural audio (input-based music) and visuals (systemic color scheme) and was designed to be experienced not only through play, but also live group viewings as a spectator.
The rules are deceptively simple:
Infuriated by both the utter injustice and randomness of his loss, Bourne went to Saigon and ended up training for an elite Top Secret Special Forces unit called "Delta One".
Years later, Bourne was tasked to murder Nykwana Wombosi, an exiled African warlord. He infiltrated Wombosi's yacht, intending to arrange the murder to look like he was killed by a crew member to avoid suspicion. However, Wombosi was surrounded by his children, and Bourne was unable to bring himself to kill him. He tried to abandon the mission by leaving the boat, but an unknown shooter shot him twice in the back, sending him off the yacht into the sea and triggering amnesia, causing him to forget his identity.Q: But why do they need him if:
A: That's not Jet Li, that's Shaobo Qin.

- To close your eye, you need to move
- If you cross your opponent's trail, your eye opens

Q: What in God's name is happening on screen?
A: Two mini-angels live inside the the head of a big angel, and they're both trying to kill one another -- and they both have 7 points.Q: Why 7 points?
A: It's actually very simple: numerologically, the number 7 symbolizes humanity's deep inner need to find meaning and spiritual connection; Uranus is the 7th planet counting from the Sun; therefore: the game's soundtrack procedurally remixes 21 (7 x 3) music samples based on player input and score (7 points).Q: What?
A: Yes.Q: Is there actually Doraemon porn in this game?
A: No. The game features no Doraemon-related pornographic material, or pornographic material of any kind.Q: Who is Jason Bourne?
A: "Jason Bourne" is the alias of David Webb, a fictional US Marine and CIA officer created by novelist Robert Ludlum.Q: Why is Jason Bourne always on the run?

A: Bourne's wife and two sons were killed during the Vietnam War when a fighter plane dropped two bombs in Cambodia. However, due to Cambodia's neutrality in the war, every nation disclaimed the plane, and, therefore, no one took responsibility for the incident.Infuriated by both the utter injustice and randomness of his loss, Bourne went to Saigon and ended up training for an elite Top Secret Special Forces unit called "Delta One".
