Overview
Description

InFlux puts you in control of a sleek metal sphere that falls onto an abandoned island filled with striking glass and steel structures. As you roll through natural and abstract environments, each glasshouse presents a unique puzzle that blends platforming with thoughtful exploration. The game’s minimalist narrative and atmospheric visuals create a contemplative experience, inviting players to uncover the secrets of the island at their own pace. Single‑player focused, it offers a serene yet challenging journey for puzzle lovers.

iO is a physics‑driven platformer where you guide a ball through increasingly challenging levels. By growing or shrinking the ball you alter its speed and weight, letting you build momentum and solve puzzles. The game blends fast‑paced racing with thoughtful puzzle design, encouraging players to experiment with the laws of physics to achieve gold‑medal times. Single‑player only, it offers a sleek indie experience across all major platforms.
