Singularis
A downloadable game for Windows
Cut the thread. Break the bond. Singularis is a fast-paced arcade thriller built around a single magical idea: every enemy is bound to a partner by a glowing thread. Cut the thread, break the bond, and watch both enemies vanish into the void. You don’t carry a sword. You carry your soul.
Made for Jamstick Jam 2026 with the topic "Duality".
How to Play
- Project your shadow into the world.
- Teleport to it. The path you cross—from where you stand to where your shadow waits—becomes your blade.
- Slice the threads. Any bond you dash through breaks instantly, eliminating both connected enemies.
Controls
- Move: WASD
- Aim: Mouse
- Send Shadow: Left Mouse Button
- Teleport (Slice): Right Mouse Button
- Dash: LShift
- Restart Level: R
- Pause: Esc
Key Features
- Sever-by-Teleport Combat: You don't aim—you trace. Plan your route, time your dash, and snap the bond.
- Bonded Enemy Pairs: Face off against melee bruisers, ranged kiters, and more. Each is tethered to a partner: kill one, kill both.
- Red-Thread Roulette: Every thread cycles between safe and deadly. Wait for a clear window, or risk it all on a split-second gap.
- Juicy Arcade Aesthetics: Immersive, heavy post-processing featuring HDR bloom, intentional hit-stop, screen shake, slow-mo impact frames, and ambient motes.
- Striking Visual Language: Experience pulsing rune threads, shadow tethers, beautiful dissolve deaths, and a mysterious sealed-vessel ending.
