History
The original Z Axis was a Ludum Dare #38 jam entry. It was ranked 27th in the Fun catagory and 133rd overall out of almost 3000 entries. Considering it was my first ever game jam, and the fact I only had 2 days to finish it (I had to work the 3rd day of the jam), I was pretty pleased with the results.
My friends casually refer to it as "a 2D Portal mixed with some Super Meat Boy." I love both the Portal games and SMB so it was a blast adding so many more levels and puzzle mechanics and seeing what I could do with it all, and that became The Z Axis: Continuum.
This game is made entirely by one person.
