About Project Sphinx


Project Sphinx is a first person puzzle platformer, in which you make your way through a space station by teleporting.

In Project Sphinx, you take the role of a robot sent to a seemingly abandoned space station by a corporation. Your mission is to retrieve crucial data left somewhere on the station's premises. Unfortunately, as is often the case with derelict facilities in the middle of the galaxy - it's in a state of absolute mess and chaos.

You're going to have to make your way through destroyed halls, broken down stairways and rooms with seemingly no way out. But you're not just any robot. You're a unit equipped with PAWS - the Portable Arm-mounted Wormhole Slinger (name not approved by the Galactic Corporations Committee). This highly advanced piece of future-tech will let you turn your robot hand into a ball, shoot it, and teleport to it after it bounces off of any solid surface! No, this is not a lie. This is what the future looks like.

Using your teleportation power along with your puzzle-solving and platform-jumping skills, there's no way you won't be able to complete your mission. Right? RIGHT? Well, only one way to find out!

FEATURES:

- Teleport to explore and progress
Teleportation is the main means of traversal in the game and it is FUN! You're going to be using your PAWS to jump through the portals you create in order to fulfill your mission. You can teleport almost anywhere, but the blue pools of liquid look pretty dodgy - don't teleport into those, please.

- Fast paced traversal
Use your skills and bounce around FAST! You can use your robot legs to walk around, sure. But you're a robot with a hand that shoots teleportation portals. Now that sounds like something that could make you go quicker. That's what every robot learns at the "How to go fast, have fun and not lose too many screws" course in primary school, anyway. It's common robot knowledge.

- Mind (and coil) bending puzzles
Think the mission will be a walk in the park? Don't worry your little robot head, it definitely will not. You'll have to use every bit of your computing skills to make your way through the station. Rooms will be PUZZLES, corridors will be mazes and your wits will be what sets you apart from other robots on the block.

- The ricochet mechanic
Teleporting is cool, but there's a trick for it to work. To be able to do it, you have to RICOCHET off of a wall, or any other solid surface, first. Sounds complicated? It's not. Sounds exciting? You bet it is! Thanks to that, you'll be able to gain momentum and speed needed to solve puzzles, move faster and - as an added bonus - look like the coolest robot ever.

✦ AI summary

Players appreciate this portal-like puzzle game for its engaging mechanics and clever design, with most finding the puzzles well-balanced and enjoyable. However, complaints center on visibility issues even at maximum brightness, some frustrating execution-based puzzles, and a desire for more story-driven progression and content overall.

Very neat portal like game. Even had a bit of the snarly dialog. They could have added more!!!! Puzzles weren't too bad ot figure out and kept you engaged. The only one that was bad was executing touching the button way up a shaft to open the path forward. Hope they make more, but sadly seems like maybe they won't.

This game has potential in its concept, but in my opinion this game could benefit from a more story based progression. Also I couldn't see anything 90% of the time - with the brightness at maximum - so some brighter global illumination would improve the visual style. Overall I like the concept and the game is entertaining.
