Voltarium is an exciting arcade game that takes place in space. In it, you pilot an astronaut along a set path, gathering treasures while dodging hazardous electrical charges from orbs. The game is perfect for brief play sessions and requires quick reflexes and exact timing. As you advance through the levels, the path becomes more complex, and the hazards more numerous, demanding higher levels of focus.
We prioritized easy-to-use controls (keyboard: WASD, customizable keys, or arrow keys), balanced difficulty, and a sense of advancement, with unlocked levels, earned points, achievements, and saved progress. We aim for players to find the right balance between the urge to play "just one more round" and the gratification of honing their skills. Have fun with Voltarium!
How to play
Guide the astronaut along an L-shaped path: move vertically up or down, then horizontally left or right. Reach the bottom-right corner, collect the treasure (crystal), return to the upper base, and deliver the crystals using [W], your custom key bindings, or [↑] to earn points (press separately or hold the key). Touching an electrical discharge released by the sphere costs a life, followed by a short pause and restart; lose all lives, and the game ends.
The game features single-player level progression, where reaching a certain score unlocks the next levels. You can pause the game with [Space] or a click.
Key features include the risk and timing required on the horizontal path, two methods to deliver crystals to the base, progression tracking, achievements (total score and completion time), and sound and language settings.
