Limbo meets N+ in this Dark Sci-Fi Platforming Adventure Where You Gain Bionic Powers! BIONIC BAY

[@Ryadalyl]

Mind boggling that such a game is playable. And, to be honest, enthralling to watch. I find it fascinating that the platformer is coming back, that there is seemingly no story, just a character running and jumping and parkouring about a 2d environment AND that it can be so entertaining. ABG, please keep it up.

[@Dragnfly_mynamewastaken]

in games like this, the story is usually in the worldbuilding itself, rather than told in dialogue or fancy cutscenes.

[@Ryadalyl]

@@Dragnfly_mynamewastaken Oh, I agree. I mean the huge hand at the end suggests he was some sort of tiny engineer in some sort of huge failing robotic body.

This is probably one of the most visually beautiful games I've ever seen.

[@lukeskywalker82]

My only complaint is the visibility of the character himself. If he gets at least few centimeters bigger it would be easier to play him. Other than that, sounds, gameplay and the background are amazing.

[@davidvincent380]

yeah this game is better played on a big screen because of the tiny character

[@jacksontsukahara3798]

i honestly kinda like it because of how much it adds to the overall sense of scale. it’s rare to see a game that truly makes you feel insignificant in a strange alien world. to each their own though

[@jmz2144]

Have you played N++?

[@lukeskywalker82]

@@jacksontsukahara3798 ok I get that. But during chase scenes or intense platforming sections, I believe you should have the capacity to zoom in.

[@MoogMonster554]

Beautiful. And that matter swapping ability you get in the second area is pretty dope. Wishlisted.

[@Ten_Thousand_Locusts]

That actually made me not want to play it anymore lol. I was expecting more momentum based platforming.

[@Dragnfly_mynamewastaken]

I'm really glad this clearly isn't just "Sci-fi Limbo" like I heard some bill it as. It has its own cool mechanics (not just the position swapping but even the mid-air dive is a huge gameplay-changer) and the pacing is a lot different than other limb-inspired stuff. it's actually downright easy for most of the demo. but picks up at the end and the preview content shows it's going to have a lot more of that. I'm really looking forward to it. Thanks for showcasing them.

[@gremlinman9724]

reminds me A L O T of badlands. i can smell how good it feels to play just by looking at it.

[@mr_nothing.the_one_that_no9134]

Oh ohohoh, you do not know at all, this is actually from the same artist that made badland and its sequel.

[@skjjha7509]

Finally someone knows

[@ScientistCat]

Same! I didn't know it was the same artist, as well. Funny enough, that's the only similar game I've played.

[@zaferokur5558]

When I first watched it, I thought they were inspired by 'badland' and 'limbo'. But I realized later that they added unique mechanics. Added to my wish list !👌

[@milcereal]

I thought it was too similar, as much as it has unique mechanics it has many obvious badland visuals

[@t0rrin6]

@@milcereal That's because the game's visuals were made by Mureena Oy - the same artist who worked on the BADLAND duology.

[@DominikaHare]

@@t0rrin6 Ah that makes sense. I played badlands a lot against my cousin to see who could get tye farthest into the game. And the artwork & sound effects kept reminding me of it.

[@zaferokur5558]

@@t0rrin6 It was very good of you to say that. Light, colours, atmosphere... It totally belongs to the Badland world. My respect for the game has increased even more now.

[@Splugsyy]

I love the times where the character just plummets down a hole or tube and hits every surface at high speeds and is completely fine

[@LiborTinka]

After finishing Limbo and Inside several times I haven't played anything for few years - this look interesting to me for the first time since. The rusty industrial atmosphere is chilling and fascinating at the same time.

[@Enzwurm]

Beautiful atmosphere with these monumental silhouettes and the dim lighting. The mechanics are also nice. Just wished to have a little more concrete story telling instead of the vague insinuations. Reminds me also of "Inside".

[@himselfe]

That moment at 10:25, I absolutely love that it is even possible, and not a hardcoded fail.

[@Emberfree]

The aspect of the game like the textures, machinery, the cables and the enviorement, reminds me of Badland, such a beautiful enviorement!

[@KOU-ZAI]

This looks beautiful and loved both the platforming and the switching mechanic. My only complaint though was the visibility of the character, particularly when the game pulls back to show more of the environment and everything's in darker tones. With your character in silhouette, that makes him even harder to spot when he drops.

The platforming seems fine, but the world itself seems to be a void of any real cohesion apart from "Would it be fun to jump there?" And the constant ragdolling of the player character feels... painful. Cool concept but lacking depth.
