The Z Axis is a puzzle platformer where you can rotate the whole world on the Z axis to help the player character solve physics puzzles and find the glowing ball of light.

I've been told by some friends that it reminds them of Portal, Limbo, and Super Meat Boy mixed together.

Made in Unity for 32 bit Windows. Planning to make more levels for a post jam version.

I uploaded a WebGL build to the GameJolt page, so now you can just play it right in the browser. No need to download the Windows version if you prefer not to do that. This is the first time I've ever made a WebGL build of anything, so let me know if there are any problems. Seems to be working fine though.

Thank you all for playing and rating The Z Axis! I am truly humbled my little puzzle platformer was 27th in the Fun catagory and 78th in Innovation. This was my first ever game jam of any kind and had no idea what to expect.

If anyone is interested, I am working on an extended version with lots more levels and puzzle elements. Follow me on Twitter @JamieHolub for periodic updates!
