Description
Airscape: The Fall of Gravity is a fast-paced, gravity-shifting action platformer about a deep-sea octopus who has been kidnapped by a mechanical alien race. Control a Dumbo Octopus (Grimpoteuthis abyssicola) on a skybound adventure to save its family from the clutches of the motorized menace. Jump, dodge, and swim through a breathtaking environment full of floating islands, water formations, and robotic terrors. There's no fighting in Airscape - you'll have to rely on your wits, speed, and reflexes to navigate through the deadly gauntlets.
History
Daniel, a first year university student from Wollongong, Australia, started work on the first Airscape back in early 2012. The initial prototype won a competition run by the company behind Construct 2, the game creation software used to make Airscape. Winning the contest and receiving lots of good feedback led Daniel to continue work on Airscape. To help with the new and improved Airscape, he recruited Claudia Starke, a university student from Germany as the game's artist, and Sam Gossner, a freshman in college in New England, U.S.A, to create the game's original orchestral soundtrack. Dieter Theuns was later roped in to create the game's new logo and UI design, as well as additional artwork.
