What it is

POLLUX – SPACE RUNNER is a 2D-Plattformer set in uniquely designed space biomes — jump, dash, boost, shoot, and survive long enough to make it to the next portal… before the universe strikes back.

Core gameplay loop

• Jump & run precision platforming with snappy and dynamic controls

• Boost fuel management (longer jumps, faster flying)

• Shoot to survive when enemies and hazards cross your route

• Portal progression: fill the progress bar by collecting points — then sprint for the exit

Biomes, events, and “oh no” moments

POLLUX doesn’t stay comfortable for long. Levels cycle through distinct biomes that change how you play:

• Zero-G zones

• Boss encounters

• Lasers, Drones, and the unforgiving VOID

Modes and replayability

• Procedural runs (seeded): generate fresh layouts and chase your best highscore

• Hardcore mode: one mistake can end everything — pure tension, pure skill

Achievements that actually feel like a climb

A built-in achievement pyramid tracks long-term milestones.

Score targets, level milestones, and hardcore accomplishments. Some are quick wins. Some are… mythical.

Controls and gamepad support

Play your way:

• Keyboard support (move, jump, boost, shoot)

• Customizable Gamepad support

• Rumble feedback for impacts and hazards

Settings & quality-of-life

Because comfort matters when a run gets intense:

• Independent Music / SFX / Ambience volume sliders

• FPS cap options

• Render scale for performance

A note from the developer

POLLUX – SPACE RUNNER is my first project as a solo developer.
I built it with a love for classic arcade clarity—simple rules, satisfying feedback, and that "just-one-more-run" feeling.

If you enjoy casual-friendly action, indie arcade challenge, and high-score obsession, welcome to Pollux - Space Runner.
