“A challenging first-person puzzle game set on Jupiter’s moon, Europa. You are Ava Turing, an engineer for the International Space Agency (ISA) sent to discover the cause behind the disappearance of the ground crew stationed there.

“Upon arrival a series of puzzles awaits you – tests which, according to the station’s AI, Tom, can only be solved by a human. These puzzles have apparently been set by the missing ground crew – but why have they created them and what are they hiding from?”

“A puzzle game with lasers and mirrors that has been enhanced with a touch of storyline and beautiful graphics. The idea for logical puzzles is to adjust the mechanisms and, in most cases, cast light through all the crystals on the board. This brings to life mechanisms created by the Ancients.

“During the game we become the Chosen One, who has to chose a legendary Path Of Light and save the world from destruction, by reviving ancient mechanisms once more. Yet we explore secrets hidden by the Ancients and discover true destiny of The Path along the way.”

A vampire hunting puzzle platformer where you can fire stakes into the sides of the game window, locking them into place or pulling them towards you, in order to overcome various obstacles.  This was made for Ludum Dare 35, the theme being shapeshift.

I apologize for the glitches (flashes) in the gifs.  My computer, the game, and the recording software just wouldn’t make peace.  Sorry. >.<

In certain parts of the expedition, the game window travels around the screen, which I thought was a neat little trick.  Playing over my twitter feed below. :)
