What it is
POLLUX – SPACE RUNNER is a 2D-Plattformer set in uniquely designed space biomes — jump, dash, boost, shoot, and survive long enough to make it to the next portal… before the universe strikes back.
Core gameplay loop
Jump & run precision platforming with snappy and dynamic controls
Boost fuel management (longer jumps, faster flying)
Shoot to survive when enemies and hazards cross your route
Portal progression: fill the progress bar by collecting points — then sprint for the exit
Biomes, events, and “oh no” moments
POLLUX doesn’t stay comfortable for long. Levels cycle through distinct biomes that change how you play:
Zero-G zones
Boss encounters
Lasers, Drones, and the unforgiving VOID
Modes and replayability
Procedural runs (seeded): generate fresh layouts and chase your best highscore
Hardcore mode: one mistake can end everything — pure tension, pure skill
Achievements that actually feel like a climb
A built-in achievement pyramid tracks long-term milestones.
Score targets, level milestones, and hardcore accomplishments. Some are quick wins. Some are… mythical.
Controls and gamepad support
Play your way:
Keyboard support (move, jump, boost, shoot)
Customizable Gamepad support
Rumble feedback for impacts and hazards
Settings & quality-of-life
Because comfort matters when a run gets intense:
Independent Music / SFX / Ambience volume sliders
FPS cap options
Render scale for performance
A note from the developer
POLLUX – SPACE RUNNER is my first project as a solo developer.
I built it with a love for classic arcade clarity—simple rules, satisfying feedback, and that "just-one-more-run" feeling.
If you enjoy casual-friendly action, indie arcade challenge, and high-score obsession, welcome to Pollux - Space Runner.
