About this game


In a revolutionary art gallery built in space using groundbreaking technology, you’re given a special glove that can control gravity. Use your new power to explore this unique setting.  

The team chose to build a puzzle game because it allowed them to focus on a single core mechanic and polish it to an extremely high quality. They built Gravitas in Unreal Engine 4 over a span of six months. The production of Gravitas gave Space Shark Studios the opportunity to develop a complete experience and work within a simulated game development environment with all of its ups and downs. Throughout the project, they learned to communicate effectively as a team of 13, as well as develop within a very constrained timeline.

2D Game | Wesome Works

Heart of The Incendium places the player in the role of Syberia, a winter witch who is trying to obtain more power by acquiring the Dragon’s Heart, a magical treasure located at the top of the Incendium. The game follows the traditional gameplay style of vertical platformers, where the player jumps from platform to platform in order to reach the top of the level. The player advances through the level by freezing enemies, which temporarily disables them and allows the player to use them as platforms. On her way to the top, Syberia also collects several treasures, such as coins and jewels, which influence the grade she gets at the end of the level. With the help of Syberia’s double jump, her freezing powers, and the use of several types of platforms, players can enjoy a traditional platformer experience.

Styx is a side-scrolling puzzle game about leading Souls through the realm of Styx and into the afterlife. Unlike in traditional platformers, the player controls a flying character (a Dark Ferryman of the underworld) that guides an AI-controlled, floor-bound unit (a recently passed-away human Soul) over and through obstacles. Lord Hades, ruler of Underworld and overseer of all Darkness, tasks the player to be a Ferryman of Souls across the spirit realm called Styx. It is the burden of all Ferrymen to bring Hades the Souls of recently deceased humans so that he may amass power in the realms of the gods. Styx seeks to subvert the player's expectations, putting them in the role of the “bad guy” and exploring the moral ambiguity of Darkness versus Light.
