Explorer
A downloadable game
Explorer is a 2D sci-fi platformer set inside a vast alien jungle teeming with strange plant life, ancient technology, and bubbling pools of acid. You play as a lone space explorer on a mission to recover lost research data in a hostile world where every step is a puzzle and every jump could be your last.
