About Polygonauts

Polygonauts is a 2D puzzle / platformer indie game being developed by CassioZatara and Douglas Muratore.

We started this project aiming for an innovative gameplay. The game has 3 (the magic number) primary ideas as its pillars:
· a game should represent an engaging challenge with immediate and long term rewards;
· a game should be created by people who love games;
· a game should help the gaming community to innovate itself.

Polygonauts mixes classic game elements with contemporary ideas and a hand crafted physics system built upon Box2D, a widely used physics simulator, composing an unique 2D experience that is familiar and innovative at the same time.

The player will follow the path of a wandering polygon lost in an unknown land, facing physic-based quests in a cartoonish style in what we like to call a "true" video-game experience – a game created to be a game, not to follow trends. A game created for gamers.
