About Floodcore

We are developping Floodcore into a full game!
Join our discord server for updates and chat with the devs!
Floodcore is a puzzle adventure game in which you explore an ancient civilization in a flooded world, and discover a mysterious power to overcome the temple's challenges.

This game is a vertical slice made by 5 French students within 8 months as a graduation project. You can expect 15 to 30 minutes of gameplay depending on your affinity with puzzle games and your sense of spatial awareness in a 3D environment.

Your power allows you to swap positions with specific objects in the world, or swap them together. Delve further into the temple and solve puzzles that require you to become a part of them.

Each area expands on the swap mechanic and makes you use it in different ways.
Some will challenge you and require you to anticipate several moves ahead, while others will need you to figure out every possibility, and there are often several different solutions for them!

You will discover multiple ruins laid by an ancient civilisation, each with its own visuals and purpose.
From the temple's surface to its underground, all the way to a luxuriant garden, you will experience each area differently with their puzzles and atmosphere.

At any point in time, you can take a step back and enjoy the calm atmosphere with the sound of waves, birds, wind and waterfalls.

This is not a game. It is a cute little demo which was the result of a student project. The graphics are 3D cartoon, and are absolutely amazing. Also, the scenery in here is positively beautiful. It is a nice casual atmosphere with some soft background music. You play as a pilot of a small seaplane who lands next to the pier of an island covered by a huge temple compound. Your objective is to walk from this end of the temple compound to the other end of it, while solving puzzles along the way. The puzzles are fairly simple. You must put the right box on the right pressure plate in a couple of ways, most commonly by using your powers of position-swapping. You can swap positions between yourself and a box, or swap the positions of 2 boxes. The Store Page says you should be able to complete the game in 15 to 30 minutes. However, I experienced a glitch where a puzzle kept "[i]crashing[/i]" itself and would reset me back to the beginning of that puzzle. Thus, I had to screw around with this for 1.5 hours before being able to complete the game. It was the puzzle with the 3 boxes ([i]1 pink, 1 blue, and 1 white[/i]). It did not matter which box I used. I tried all 3 of them…

A small little demo of a game, but its got potential. I found it on a list of "free Steam games that will remind you of Zelda", (a series I have missed since I turned to Steam.). It actually would up reminding me more of Ico than Zelda, but that is by no means a bad thing! I wish them luck in developing this into a full game!

An awesome little puzzle game, really well thought out puzzles with cool mechanics. Even though the experience only lasted for about 30 minutes, I enjoyed every second of it. The music is really nice and relaxing, and the visuals are really cool as well. Really hope that it gets developed into a full-sized game.

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Games like Slay the Spire that keep the branching climb

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
