Pillars

Fusion changes function

The retained parent becomes the chassis. Order matters, A + B is not equivalent to B + A.

Read the road

Fixed platforms, forking corridors, and a wave that picks its path. Where you build decides what reaches the gate.

Shape the wave

Enemies can be pushed into different states. Don't just survive the wave. Decide what it becomes.

    Systems

    Fusion, transmutation and the first waves.

  3. Now

    Vertical slice

    One stretch of the game, built to the standard of the finished thing.

We tinker in the lab and write down what happened. Expect honest patch notes and the occasional glass chamber doing something it was not designed to do.
