Frobnicated Games

  • Atheatos

Disclosed Content

  • Roboto font.
  • Default UE Skybox.
  • Basic Geometric shapes in UE starter content.
  • Sounds and music were created by me but samples were taken from, and aggregated/synthesized within, free software (e.g. Fruity Loops).

Controls:
Use the mouse to strafe left and right.
LMB: Fire energy beam.
RMB(hold): Reverse time.

How to Play:
You are a being of pure energy. As you progress, your speed will gradually increase. The goal is to avoid the obstacles and attain the highest score possible by moving as quickly as you can. If you crash or believe that you are about to, hold the Right Mouse Button to rewind time so that you can settle the score. This can even be performed after colliding with objects. But, be careful, as firing your beam and rewinding time both require energy and will slow you down. If you collide with an object while your energy bar is at less than 100%, you will be destroyed. Good luck.

NB: The game has 7 tested levels, but is virtually infinite. If you make it past level 8, you won, but you can continue to play to your heart’s content. However, I can make no claims about the quality of gameplay at higher levels.

Known Issues:

  • One of my play-testers reported the mouse cursor escaping while using multiple monitors, however I was unable to replicate the issue.
  • Particle effects associated with the player sometimes do not appear at the beginning of the game as intended.
