Into the Void

Into the Void was originally an entry for the 22nd GM48 , a game jam in which you must make a game with Game Maker in 48 hours. The theme was descend. This version is roughly the same as the original, with some minor additions such as more options and controller support.

Overview

Recent experiments in a top secret lab have led to the accidental creation of a highly contagious virus. Fortunately, a rare plant could hold a potential cure. Unfortunately, this plant is found only in the depths of an inter-dimensional void. The lab has technology necessary to open such a void, but that doesn't mean retrieving the plant is easy. The voids are filled with dangerous inhabitants and are very unstable - they will begin to collapse once the plant is taken. You will need to use all your skills to survive as you "descend" Into the Void.
