Vextorial by VEXT GAMES

What would be your description of your game?

Vextorial is an Award-winning Multi-Dimensional puzzle-platformer where the player plays as Pilo, a 2D creature exploring a 3D space.

In Vextorial, players will:

Manipulate GRAVITY
Navigate across planes of a 3D cube
Solve Meta-Puzzles in hub areas to progress through the game
Discover the lore of the enigmatic realm

Vextorial is unique because it adapts the choice of switching dimensions and careful gravity manipulation to create opportunities for level design never seen before. It challenges players’ spatial recognition with its base mechanics, while other mechanics such as switches and moveable blocks that interact with gravity provide puzzle solutions that are incredibly fascinating.

How did development start? (Were there any key inspirations or ideas that drove you?)

Vextorial began as a mechanical experiment, exploring the unique possibilities of changing gravity around and switching planes within a cube. This initial spark of creativity evolved into a captivating game concept, which was pitched to the Tranzfuser program, leading to the birth of VEXT GAMES. With the dedicated efforts of our talented and diverse team, the concept grew into a fully realized project, gaining recognition and crucial support through funding from the UK Games Fund. Today, VEXT GAMES is a testament to innovation, collaboration, and the power of turning bold ideas into reality.
