The Fishbowl
The Fishbowl is a canceled project. It was a physics-based platformer where the 2D levels form a 3D cube. My ambition was to turn it into a puzzle platformer, a bit in the style of the classic Prince of Persia games, with a strong narrative side-story. But I couldn’t get the gameplay right.
I might pick it up again sometime, because I feel connected to it somehow, but I don’t know when.
FedEx day?
skip to 1:30 for the good stuff
I agree that something’s missing but it looks awesome.
Love the way it feels like a distorted dream, almost david lynch-like.
What if you take it in a survival horror direction…
change the art style with background imagery so it looks more detailed and there’s something to explore. Like a mansion where you have to search the entire place for clues to a mystery.
Also, what if you add a villain who occasionally showes up and chases you around the level.
basically… like clocktower on acid with crazy physics 😀

Stephan, I love those ideas! Didn’t knew Clocktower but it looks pretty scary.
How are your drawing skills? 😉
Seems cool and 3D-ish 😉
I’m thinking of a 3D maze or pacman kinda gameplay when I see this!
