Our first-person/one-button/free-running game FOTONICA, is finally complete and available for download as "PAY WHAT YOU WANT" on our website, starting TODAY ( trailer, website ). Tell us if you like it and maybe help us spread the word! Sales will help us developing new contents for FOTONICA ( we are considering an iOS/Android version ) and developing new projects in the future.FOTONICA is a first person game about jumping, sense of speed and discovery. The key is timing, the goal is exploring and traveling flawlessly through the environment. The setting is an abstract - mainly duotone - outlined world, with a look referring to the geometrical abstractions from the 50s a the 3D low-poly gaming era. We polished the game, tightened the controls and added new content, here are
