Bionic Bay is a unique physics based platformer with action, creative game mechanics and a mysterious world crafted with exceptional detail.An ordinary man in an extraordinary world. Bionic Bay is a new kind of a 2D platformer. It introduces a unique Swap mechanic, allowing players to interact with the physics-based world in new ways. The immersive gameplay is completed by spectacular environments and creative level design.
The core gameplay in Bionic Bay is built around the Swap mechanic. The idea behind it is quite simple: the player has the ability to swap position between the character and the selected object. The catch is that whatever inertia these objects have, it remains after the swap. As our game is heavily physics based, this gives lots of intriguing possibilities in level design. Also, it is a lot of fun to use it.
The art in Bionic Bay is quite distinctive. Assets are pixel art and we have used relatively small pixel sizes. To add realism and tone, the lights, glows, and shadows are not pixelated and are presented in a fairly realistic manner. We have also located the in-game cameras fairly far. This makes using swap mechanics more convenient but also makes the overall feel of the game more spacious and epic.
Levels in Bionic Bay are unique in multiple ways. There is a large variety of objects, devices, explosives, liquids and traps - each with their own physical properties and functions. The end result is an experience, which feels fun and a little bit different every time you play it.
Indie developers Mureena and Psychoflow Studio have announced that Bionic Bay, initially planned for March March 13th, will now launch on April 17, 2025, giving them time to add a bit of extra polish.
