Dimensions

About

Dimensions is a single player, first person puzzle platformer where the player must escape an Egyptian tomb, by solving puzzles and jumping between two dimensions, each with it's own physics and geometry. There are 8 distinct levels to play, starting out easy and building up to more difficult brain teasers. 

Play as an explorer from the 1900s, searching the thought-to-be lost tomb of Osiris, god of life, death and the after-life. Once your exploration begins, you find yourself trapped in the tomb! You stumble across a magical ankh mirror that emanates power, perhaps you can use this to escape?

Development

Dimensions was developed by a solo developer over the course of 3 months, as part of a university honours project. The main objective was to create a playable game experience, while also improving skills as a developer, including learning new technologies such as Shadergraph. The project was also intended to be a strong portfolio piece going forward.
