The Free Ones (Alpha) – An indie physics-based platformer

 

Game Description

The Free Ones is a platformer game with a twist.

You play in first-person only and you use physics to your advantage. In other words, it’s like first-person parkour.

You’re armed with a grapple gun you use sort of like a hookshot from the Zelda series. You use it to grab onto objects and pull yourself to them, or you can use it to grab other objects.

Of course, being a physics-based indie platformer, you can’t expect the physics to be perfect. They’re going to be clunky and awkward, which is what makes these games so awesome. If they were perfect, it’d be boring.

This game is all about physics. You need to escape the island, but to do that, you’ll have to overcome all the puzzles and find all the secrets to get out. Your grappling hookshot is your main way of transporting yourself around the island. You can attach yourself to wood and other objects. You can even jump from object to object a la Spiderman, but you’ll have to recharge it and land eventually.

The goal of The Free Ones is to escape from the island you’re on. You need to solve puzzles and jump platforms to escape. The creators of this game also helped make FarSky. You may know them as Farsky interactive. They also made Sky Break. The game is pretty much recently announced so there’s not much information about it online. You can expect an awesome physics-based platformer as info starts to surface about The Free Ones.

The game will begin alpha testing soon on the 8/14/17. You can sign up and be one the first to play the game. Sign up using the link below and try it out.
