Play Overview
Bionic Bay (2025) is a running and jumping game with a difference. Set in a burning future, you rush through the world like other parkour games, but with the unique ability to swap any two objects. This makes play more physics-based than other platform games as you can temporarily pause the action to move objects around the levels for protection and locomotion.
Beyond the novel swapping mechanics, it's a game built around the detailed modelling of movement and motion. The world around you animates as you pass through it, so attention is needed to avoid hazards and opportunities to progress. You traverse the areas you are presented with to explore deeper and deeper into the huge spaces that confront you.
The result is a game that's unusual to play, but that also offers a strong emotional aesthetic. You are a tiny figure facing an enormous task and only have your wits and the world's physics to keep you alive.
