Exo One

Exo One is an arcade game with adventure game elements, in which the player takes on the role of the pilot of a futuristic spacecraft. The game was developed by an independent Exbleative studio and was made possible, among other things, by a successful crowdfunding on Kickstarter.

Plot

The story presented in Exo One begins at the beginning of the 21st century, when humanity received a mysterious signal from the interstellar void. On the basis of the information contained therein, a spacecraft was prepared. During one of the routine Exo One tests, as this is the name of the unit, his pilot accidentally opened a wormhole and went to an unknown corner of the Universe. During the game, we accompany him in his quest for the ruins of an alien civilization. A different perspective on our adventures is provided by the story of a narrator - a historian who tells us thousands of years later about the first man's journey outside the Solar System.

Mechanics

In Exo One the action was shown from the third person perspective (TPP). Twelve procedurally generated worlds are waiting to be visited; we are talking about various exoplanets, among which we can find both rocky earth-type algae and celestial bodies consisting mainly of water and gas giants. We travel on board the title ship operating on the basis of technology that allows it to change shape and manipulate gravity. In the form of a flying disc, the unit floats in the air and in a way "slides" on the surface of the clouds, while after transformation into a ball it rolls on the slopes, thus gaining speed. Skilful use of the possibilities of changing the form of the vessel allows for smooth and fast movement on maps.

Technical aspects

The graphic design of the game Exo One is particularly impressive for the fantastic landscapes we admire on the planets we visit, as well as the realistic animated water and dynamic lighting. The fun goes on to the accompaniment of the soundtrack, which consists of guitar and ambient sounds.
