Like a thread through a needle, a path must be found.

"Nothing exists between the realms of life and death. The space between is like a thread through a needle, a path between realms, where nothing exists, but everything is possible."

Theme: Necromancy (Magic relating to death)
Special Object: Needle
Interpretation: A game where you magically switch between the world of life and death to navigate a vertical tunnel. You use a needle as a grappling gun to climb the tunnel.

You play as a shape, stuck between the worlds of life and death. To find the way out, you must use a mysterious, threaded needle, that can propel you through the world. Switch through the two worlds to find new paths and avoid obstacles. 

The bulk of this game was made by myself (Lucas Ljunggren) for the Jame Gam #40. This included planning, art, programming and production. The jam was six days, but two of those were spent grubbling on ideas. A lovely composer called Devon Balicki (space.wolf) helped with some beautiful soundscapes to elevate this game to the next level, she also helped with some ideas and support for the game.
