Design 

This game was created around the concept of life and the obstacles that come with it. The player begins as a ball of energy in the form of light. This bundle of energy represents the beginning of your existence. As the player moves through the levels, they are forced to make decisions and overcome obstacles. Once the player determines the solution, in order to complete the level, they must donate some of their energy to the circuit. With each donation of energy, the player’s bundle of light gets dimmer. Once the final level is completed, the remaining amount of light will be taken away, thus representing death. At the end of the game, the camera will zoom out and show the player their path, then zoom out once more and show the paths of other players to represent the fact that we are all born and we will all die, yet the path we take in between has infinite possibilities.

 

Design Principles & Goals

- Create a sense of mystery and wonder.
