Structura

You play as CROWN, an android tasked with escaping the lair of an evil mastermind and going back home. You can shoot enemies and kill them to get building blocks. But beware: several sections of the environment have been destroyed. To fix these, you must use the various terminals around levels. In these terminals, you control a single pixel on a grid with your collected building blocks scattered randomly. You must move around, adding blocks to yourself to create a bridge to make it across the gap. Can you make it across each level and beat the game? This is my third game jam!

How to play

While playing as CROWN, you must traverse each level until you come across a terminal. The terminal will allow you to build a bridge to get across the gap and will show you where your bridge will be build, starting from the centre of the outline.

Upon accessing a terminal, you become GEM. As GEM, you (the crosshair) may move around the level to connect blocks to yourself. Blocks stuck to the crosshair will become part of the bridge, and blocks will stick to other blocks. Upon submitting your bridge, the structure will be realised within the main level, where CROWN may use it to get across.

The outlines are merely a suggestion as to the rough size of your bridge. You are not required to use every block you have for each bridge, nor are you required to keep within the boundaries of the outline. Pausing the game while playing as GEM will give you further help.

Thank you for playing my game!

Known Bugs

  • When building the bridge as GEM, the blocks may be able to leave the boundary when moving. This is purely visual and does not affect the bridge in any way.
  • There may be "lag" when resetting the bridge, or the game freezes entirely. This is extremely rare.
  • The game may crash if you attempt to access a bridge you built after dying
  • Pressing "Reset" too many times in the bridge builder may crash the game
