A downloadable game for Windows

This is my entry for the Mix and Game Jam 2020.

It's a Rolling Ball x Open-Ended Exploration game, and admittedly still more of a rendering and terrain generation exercise than a complete game.

In this game you can move an orb around, and you can collect yellow Embers that charge up the orb's boost. Boosting will consume the Embers you picked up. You can use the boost to access to new areas.

Playable with gamepad or keyboard, although currently the keyboard won't deliver the full gameplay experience. (You can actually use WASD and the Arrow Keys at the same time for better keyboard control.)


Left Stick / WASD  + Arrow Keys: Move the orb

Any Triggers / Space bar : Boost

Left Face Button / X : Check Score

Start / Escape : Quit Game


All assets, including the music and the sounds were done by me in 48 hours, except for the curvy ramp texture, which is an Unreal Engine starter material.

I had so much fun during my first solo jam! I can't wait to continue working on it, and participating in more jams in the future!
