Project Sphinx

Project Sphinx is a first-person puzzle platformer set on a seemingly abandoned space station. You play as a robot sent by a corporation to retrieve crucial data, navigating the station’s destroyed halls, broken stairways and rooms with no apparent way out.

Teleport through the station

Your robot is equipped with PAWS, the Portable Arm-mounted Wormhole Slinger. It turns your hand into a ball that you can shoot at solid surfaces; after it ricochets, you can teleport to it. Teleportation is the main way to travel and progress, and lets you reach almost anywhere. Blue pools of liquid are unsafe to teleport into.

You can also walk with your robot legs, but bouncing between teleport points lets you move faster and build momentum. Ricocheting off walls and other solid surfaces is required to teleport, and the momentum you gain can help you move quickly and solve puzzles.

Solve station puzzles

The station’s rooms contain puzzles and its corridors form mazes. You use your puzzle-solving and platform-jumping skills to make your way through the facility and complete the data-retrieval mission.
