About Vortex

Using the handheld Vortex remote to open spatial doorways, and reach areas that would not usually be accessible, journey through the VortexLabs’ testing facility, solve various puzzles, as you attempt to escape the testing facility.

Vortex is a 2D puzzle game which uses ‘Vortexes’, doorways which can transport you through space, to reach different areas in the level and complete a task, such as activating a button, in order to escape the testing room and move on to the next level.

Product Features
• Challenging puzzles that force you to think before acting.
• Original background music

Developer Note:
This is the first game that I have made therefore it does contain a few bugs. However, as I improve my coding and game development skills I will go back to some of the older levels in order to fix any bugs that there may be to create a more enjoyable gameplay experience for you.

What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Players appreciate this Portal-inspired puzzle game's core mechanic of cycling between pre-placed green and purple portals to solve environmental puzzles, though they note it's quite short at around 15 minutes of content. Common complaints include audio playing only in the right channel, the ability to accidentally get boxes stuck against walls due to movement constraints, and overall the experience feels incomplete or underdeveloped as a standalone experience.

A small Portal-like game of using boxes, "portals" and buttons to get to the end of each level. Key difference being that you don't fire the vortexes to any surface yourself; there are pre-existing vortex gates that are keyed to either green or purple that you cycle through as needed. It's alright but only 15 minutes or so long. The music only plays in the right channel for some reason though. It's also possible to get the boxes stuck against a wall as you can only move them as you move the direction you're facing and not on their own.
