strange attractors 2

Ominous Development has been hard at work (on the weekends =) creating the next iteration of Strange Attractors, taking the acclaimed successes of the previous IGF nominated version and dropping it into an all new in-house 3D engine and giving it a lot more juice. SA2 is larger, smarter and more intricate, enemies are more imposing and aggressive; a whole new experience.

 

"the game is an original classic, it really took me back to the old days, but with a new twist, a modern finish" - Chris Kurowicki

more on Strange Attractors 2

Strange Attractors 2 is an evolution of its original one-switch predecessor. In it you use your ship's gravity drive to navigate and escape from complex labyrinths full of secrets, hazards, and antagonizing screaming spacemen. Read More





While the game's controls have grown to include an "Anti-Gravity" button, and a "Shockwave" attack (bringing the number of inputs to a staggering three!), the game is still completely playable (including menu navigation) with a single switch.


Ominous Development's goal is to create a game that's fun while still incorporating the lessons and features of a successfully accessible game.


The simple and elegent gameplay of Strange Attractors 2 picks up where the original left off and adds a ton more.




Strange Attractors 1

Strange Attractors was created for a "One-Switch" competition. Just because the only button used by the game is the space bar (and Esc to exit) doesn't mean the gameplay isn't complex and unique. Remember, not everything simple is easy!

Pressing the spacebar activates the gravity drive of your craft and creates an attractive force between yourself and the other objects in the game. Your goal is to sling and bounce yourself from the bottom of the level through the portal at the top.

We have never seen anyone play this game and not laugh out loud.

"In Strange Attractors, like in all good games, acts of horrific and insensitive murder like this will earn you lots and lots of points!" - Matt of Shock-Therapy
