Fathom

You ignored the road signs and now you find yourself on a deadly trail. You might not make it far, but you can hope that your car's special powers grow in height to help you to steer.

THIS GAME REQUIRES A CONTROLLER WITH ANALOGUE INPUT TO PLAY.

This score chaser was made for the MGDC Game Jam 2026, where the theme was "shifting." Before the game jam began, I already had the goal of utilising a rendering system that I had developed for previous game jam. All 3D objects are rendered by layering, scaling, and *shifting* 2D images on top of each other. When the theme was revealed, I thought about how a vehicle's weight shifts when it steers. I decided to exploit my rendering system, and take that idea to the extreme.

Controls:
left joystick - lean the car about 360 degrees.
right joystick up - make the car taller.
right trigger - accelerate (let go to coast).
start/options/esc - start the game.
