Bionic Bay Description

Bionic Bay is a 2D sci-fi platformer with high-density pixel art graphics. It is exploiting the laws of physics, particularly gravity. The game was created in collaboration with Finnish artist-designer Juhana Myllys (Mureena), who previously worked on Badland and Badland 2, and the Thai duo of programmers from Psychoflow Studio.

Gameplay

In Bionic Bay we find ourselves in a post-apocalyptic world where nature is combined with mechanics. The land is full of mysterious technologies and secrets hidden in diverse biomes, just waiting to be discovered.

The key element is the ability to manipulate the laws of physics. We control the gravity of the entire world and we also have the ability to swap places with various objects in our path.

This allows for faster movement around the locations and solving puzzles. It also affects the difficulty level and the dangers we encounter.

We can easily fall or slip from platforms. Additionally, any change in physics also affects the fluids, beams, and particles that surround us.

Technical aspects

The visual design of the game is created from detailed science-fiction landscapes in high-density pixel-art style. All locations differ from each other, which is also influenced by the atmospheric sounds.
