Microodyssey

Microodyssey is a pixel-art platform game about Axel, a scientist sent into the Microworld by Microspace Corporation. After three earlier human tests ended with the representative scientists lost and out of contact, Axel enters the machine to travel to ever-smaller scales, seeking the limits of the Microworld and trying to find and rescue the missing scientists. Along the way, he encounters characters, stories and environments as he approaches the question of why everything exists.

Through the Microworld

Axel travels through eight realms, each forming a chapter and set at a smaller scale of matter: the Mineral level, Cellular level, Molecular level, Atomic level, Sub-atomic level, Photonic level, Quantum level and Singularity. His journey moves from minerals and cells through molecules, atoms and sub-particles to the quantum world and beyond.

Passing each room

The gameplay centers on finding ways through rooms, where a single hit can cause a game over. Axel’s Platform Gun fires bullets that turn certain walls into platforms for three seconds. You use these temporary platforms to cross obstacles, solve light environmental puzzles and find different routes through each room.

Axel acquires abilities during his adventure, including shooting, Super Bullet, Boost and Jetpack. He also faces obstacles such as evil crystals, corrupted spiders, viruses and micro-dinosaurs.
