Features

• One-stick control over direction & thrust for intuitive and precise maneuvering of the Zero-G environment

• Boost in any direction & stop momentum, anytime. Boost rapidly in any direction to jolt around with precision.

NB! Boosting does not accumulate velocity. It also cancels previous velocity. It's purpose is sudden jolting from stationary position as a navigational aid to move in sharp angles.

• Physics force challenges that affect the player; black holes that pull you in, radial bursts that push you away, and accelerators that shoot you in a specific direction. Black holes and radial bursts have a dynamic effect according to your distance to them. The closer the stronger.

• Place a portal at your current location and teleport back to it at will. This can save time, and is required on many levels to progress.

• 48 handcrafted levels with global leaderboards. Old school level progression system

Game design principles

Spheroid X aims to be a game with simple systems that take little investment to understand. There are only a few core mechanics, endless fuel, and a variety of level challenges to beat. There is no "punishment" for dying, you just start fresh with a better internalization of the map and a timer that starts from 00:00:00. The aim was to create a game with pure gameplay and powerful controls. Another important goal was to create a game with good sense of space (No pun intended (the game is space-themed)).
