Polus

Welcome to Polus! An exicitng puzzle platformer, developed by Snowy Backyard Studios. You control Robo, exploring an abandoned facility, completing puzzles and advancing to harder and harder areas. You unlock new mechanics along the way and challange yourself with new puzzles every level.

The assets and code were all made by me as the sole member of the studio. This is one of 2 autotile-sets made for this project.

Key Features

• Magnet Polarity System — Attract or repel magnetic crates on demand to build bridges, or launch yourself across gaps.
• Gravity Gun — Pick up and drop gravity-affected crates to solve puzzles other tools can't touch.
• Pressure Plate & Door Logic — Chain switches and pressure plates across rooms to unlock progression, rewarding players who think one step ahead.
• One-Way Platforms — Precision platforming sections that demand careful traversal, not just clever puzzle-solving.
• Seven Handcrafted Rooms — A complete, self-contained escape with a clear beginning, middle, and end.
• Speedrun-Ready — A built-in timer tracks your completion time from the first room to the last, for players who want to optimize their escape.
• Original Industrial Aesthetic — A cohesive dark-grey-and-hazard-orange visual language.

That's Polus, hope you enjoy!
