History

Started by Dennis as a throwing mechanic prototype game somewhere back in 2016. And got our attention because it was a VR-enthousiast fly trap. It caught people spending many hours without noticing. And was great fun just throwing against those wall tiles. Later we decided to make things more interesting by adding additional mechanics: cloud leeching, energy, shields, stuff coming at you, things you could use. It even got some educational value too: You have to learn how to manage your power consumption, or you won't survive! A good game would last for many hours, but a great game would last forever. Therefore we also integrated a level editor that will be available on final release. We created all levels with it ourselves. And as icing on the cake, we also needed an end boss fight. Which was implemented during the early access period. Gravinoid is the first of our multipart main story: "The Chronicles of Ayden".
