When you touch it, it crumbles, teleporting you to a new roomโone filled with puzzles and challenges. As you progress, the rooms grow more complex, and a chilling truth begins to unfold: are these blocks helping you escape or luring you deeper into the prisonโs clutches? The answers lie aheadโif you can reach them.

"A Dream?" is the name of my game. This game contains humour, adventure and mystery elements. This type of game allows you to "create your own ending" by giving you options on each level that take you to various locations and outcomes. The game's lore is that the player passed away in the hospital at the beginning of the game and wakes up as a roaming soul. The player then enters the exit through the hospital and gets reborn as a ancient microorganism and the player must decide which exits they should choose in order to escape the so called "dream" or else...
Your deep slumber was disrupted by a spirit. "That's the shiniest creature I have ever seen!" Out of curiosity, you followed it out of the cave that you call home. Maybe there is a world much brighter that you have not seen?
In this epic two-player contest, one player assumes the role of the elusive runner, while the other becomes the relentless hunter. The runner cunningly conceals themselves as an ordinary object, while the hunter embarks on a heroic quest to unveil their hidden adversary. Players can unlock unique abilities for intense head-to-head battles. Victory awaits the runner if they can maintain their covert sanctuary, while the hunter relentlessly fires at objects in hopes of acquiring the runner's whereabouts. The game unfolds in a dramatic battle of wits, persisting until the sands of time run out.

-You are trapped in a part of the cosmos and your rocket will explode for no reason in a short while.
-You have to find a star(the shape, not the other meaning that refers to the sun) that will help you escape. It can generate anywhere on the map except for the starting space.
-Your rocket can only take 5 hits
-Black holes might generate in some areas which will pull you towards them and teleport you back to the start of the map ([0][0]) and at the same time take away twice as much hitpoints.
-Hitting an obstacle except for a black hole will reverse your current velocity (propel you in the opposite direction, ah yes realistic physics);
-Note: the lower your hitpoints, the faster your acceleration

It's 2077, there's a high-tech facility "Volt Industries", a power plant that is experimenting with harnessing the power of Earth's spin to generate electricity. However, the main computers of the facility got infected with a virus, which forces the reactor to heat up uncontrollably. Everyone on Earth flees to outer space because, well, they can, but also because if the reactor blows, the Earth stops spinning, meaning time stands still. The reactor is predicted to blow before it reaches one. You're an agent, perhaps the last person on Earth, trying to fix up everything.
Rotation is an arcade style infinite runner game. In the game, the โWโ, โAโ, โSโ and โDโ orbs represent your ability to move up, left, down and right respectively.

That is why the โRโ orb is there to rotate the entire screen to help you navigate your way through the dangerous energy orbs to retrieve your movement orbs.
