BlindBound

When you don't have all the answers, tools, and knowledge to get through a challenge alone, you must look elsewhere for answers. This couldn't be more true for four ever-lonely ghosts that are stuck in a cave filled with daunting obstacles. So often used to wandering the Earth alone, these ghosts must now work together in order to escape the void they find themselves in. Plus, there is a giant doughnut waiting for you at the end of it all, seriously. Beat the level, your rewards await.

BlindBound is a four-player, entirely cooperative experience. There is no going Rambo, taking on all the challenges and obstacles on your own in order to prove that you are better than your peers. The levels in this game can ONLY be completed cooperatively. This is the game that will make even the loneliest souls feel united, if at least for a brief moment. The demo of this game you will be playing is merely a taste of the puzzles that will become increasingly more difficult with every passing challenge, forcing you and your teammates to really become one in order to prevail.

We chose to create a game for this challenge because of our passion for video games. Every art form pulls people into a different world, and we feel video games do that best. All of our team members work at Great Minds Robotics, where we often teach video game creation to children, so we found it would only be fitting to make a game ourselves.

We chose the four player cooperative experience because we feel there is a lot of untapped potential in this genre. A lot of ideas were thrown around before deciding on this one, but we felt this one gave us the greater window of opportunity to make something that felt truly unique. We didn't want to just make another flash game or platformer. We hope that you all really enjoy the game, but more importantly, the experience. Thank you.
