Cathode Way
No backstory here - best to just jump in and explore. Controls are as follows:
*Move:* WASD/Cursors
*Look:* Mouse
*Activate/Deactivate screen:* Left Mouse
*Run:* Shift
*Jump:* Space
*Activate Switch/Lift:* Up (W/Cursor Up)
*Flip Mouse Y:* F2
Known Issues
General issues with sticky colliders/platforms/physics
The lift has "character"
WebGL build sometimes has a delay on controls which makes the platforming sections terrible.
WebGL build has issues with mouse in fullscreen
Music crossfade doesn't quite work in WebGL
Desktop Builds
Win/Mac over at itch.io
Web Build
WebGL - probably slow and buggy (as usual). Give it a few minutes to load. Best in Chrome.
Video
YouTube - Contains spoilers!
The Blurb - slight spoilers here, read after playing
Tip: You can control the avatar from any screen, even if the avatar is on another screen. If you get lost, hold the opposite direction key until you re-appear.
This is our most ambitious game to-date, and as such is not finished. We had plans for a third and maybe fourth area(s), but alas time ran out.
The only assets we used were the Unity open source post-processing stack, the standard 2D and 3D character controllers (modified to suit, of course!), and a skybox from AllSky. All models, art, music and sound effects were created during the 72-hour Jam.
Thanks for playing!
