Electropy was Team Phobic’s first released game. It was a great learning experience for all of us. We would spend our weekends at college coming together to develop it.
My contributions included setting up the business and its operations, figuring out our distribution and publishing options, creating the website and backend services for online leaderboards and replays, as well as some level design and extensive gameplay testing.
Original Description:
Electropy is a side scrolling action arcade title with a fundamental game play twist. Rather than directly moving your character, the idea is to grapple on to floating polygons in order to swing your way to the goal. The game features a wide selection of power-ups such as gravity change, invincibility, and flight thrusters to diversify game play. The title also includes over 120 levels of varying difficulty as well as the same fully functional editor we used to make all the levels in the game. Players are ranked via online scores that are uploaded through the game or on Electropy.com and can download replays of any submitted score.
Unfortunately, the website and original trailer and gameplay videos have been lost, but you can download unsupported versions of Electropy below:
The server hosting logins and replays is no longer running, so none of those features are functional anymore.
