Vortexgun

Vortexgun is a first-person platform game with shooter and puzzle game elements

Player is armed with the Vortexgun, an extraordinary weapon
that can emits three different types of rays :

Red, Blue and Yellow

Rays emitted by the Vortexgun interact with most of the minerals that made up the game world

Launch the Joycon in mid-air, so it pierces on itself, so you can catch it on the fly.
The wrist movement you make is important :
the faster the Joycon spin in air, the more the Vortexgun is charged

Launches the Right Joycon to charge the Vortexgun with Red energy
Launches the Left Joycon to charge the Vortegun with Blue energy
Launches Both Joycon at the same time to charge the Vortexgun with Yellow energy

Game control are specular, so Player throwing
Joycon can always keep control on the character

Imagine you running in a corridor, pursued by a giant moving stone sphere.
If the ball reach you, it crush you.
In front of you obstacles you have dodge and walls of blocks of Denmium.
Player have to charge the Vortexgun of Blue energy, to destroy the Denmiun blocks

Player, for example, used to move the character using the left Joycon stick.
While launching the left Joycon to charge the gun, Player can continue to move
the character using the right Joycon stick, and jumping pressing the side button Sr

Imagine that Player loading not manage to catch the Joycon, which fall on the floor.
He don't lose immediately the level, but he can can still play using only one Joycon, moving and jumping.
He can also try to lower and pick the fallen Joycon, to shoot the energetic bullets
needed to destroy the walls of Denmium and clear the level

The game world is characterized by many different types of minerals
with extraordinary properties that react to the Vortexgun energetic waves

There are also numerous machines that can react to the Vortexgun's rays.
Let's see some examples :

Switch

These tools are directly linked to more complex structures.
Their use and the way interact with the Vortexgun change case by case

For examples a Switch is linked at this system of moving platforms.
When you hit the Switch the system is turned on.
If you hit it with Blue energy, the track move clockwise.
If you hit it with Red energy the track move counterclockwise.
If you hit the Switch with Yellow energy the system is turned off

Mirror Screen

This defensive screen is set at protection of material blocks. It absorb half of the energy waves of the shoot,
sending it back to you. To balance the decompensation you have to shoot a second energy wave,
opposing the energy you just shoot against the screen

When you shot against a Mirror Screen, the ray is reflected

Immediately loads the Vortexgun, with energy opposite to the shot,
to compensate, and destroy the Mirror Screen

If you are not skilled enough
you could suffer the reflected ray

If you are not able to balance the ray,
you can still dodge it, and try again

Orb Gate

On the surface of the gates, a certain number of orbs appears.
An orb assumes a random color, between Red, Blue and Yellow.
Hit an orb with the energy corresponding to its color to unlock it.
After you hit an orb, it remains unlocked for three seconds before reset the gate. Unlock all the orbs of a gate to open it

A yellow orb appear.
Shoot and hit it !

A blue orb appear now.
Whithin three seconds, charge
the Vortexgun with blue energy and hit it

Hit all orbs with the right
energy wave to open the gate

Enermeter

Each Enermeter has a personal frequency, if you can load them with energy corresponding to that frequency,
the machinery disappears. There are two kind of Enermeter :

Frequency
Blue energy adds positive value.
Red energy add negative value.
Yellow energy reset the value.
Continue to hit the Enermeter unitl you find the correct value

Sequency
Blue energy add a blue token.
Red energy add a red token.
Yellow energy take off a token.
Enter the right sequence to make the Enermeter disappear

Segment Strings

These matrices consist of a variable number of elements. The elements are of three different types.
When three elements of the same type match, they disappears.
If you can make half or more elements disappears, you unlock the matrix

Blue energy swap the position of the element with the element to the right.
Red energy swap the position of the element with the element to the left.
Yellow energy returns the element to its original position

Elements are placed in the matrix

Point an element and shot to swap is position

If you make more then half elements
disappear, you unlock the matrix

Magnetic Radiant

The section can be turned on or off, using a energy of different polarity.
A section of polarity A is turned On with Blue energy and turned Off by Red energy,
vice versa, a section with polarity B is turned On with Red energy and turned Off by Blue energy.
When you hit a section that borders on a section with reverse polarity, both are affected

Horizontal has polarity A
Vertical has polarity B
Grey is On
White is Off

Hit the section...

...to turn it off and affect all the borders sections

Section Examples

Walls of Arnium and Demnium
prevents the path

Shoot Blue and Red
energies to go on

A giant rolling ball behind you.
Quickly load the energy and
immediately shoot to free the way

A magnetic floor.
Shoot at the free spaces
to make them tangible

When you hit a tile,
you active all the adjacent ones

Find the right path
to overcome the ravine

A ravine you need surpass.
There is one block of Itnomium
with a block of Grittium above

Hit the block of Grittium
with Blue energy to push it away

Shoot Red energy at the right time
to enlarge the block,
it will embed between the columns

To pass this section you have to :
jump, load, destroy the obstacle in front of you, load, destroy the obstacle at the bottom,
slide and jump on the stairs
