Gateway, the game where world warping, time travel and defying gravity is just a normal day, is coming to Steam, Desura and Xbox Live Indie Games from the 13th of September. It is currently available on PC and the demo is also available to all you PC users. But everyone who doesn’t play PC games gets to be graced with Gateways presence on its release. Anyone buying the game directly from Smudged Cat will be entitled to a Steam or
Desura key when the game launches.
The game will be appearing on XBLIG as part of the Indie Games Uprising where it will be launched along with some other great new titles.
Gateways has just undergone some changes recently, bringing it to version 1.08, which makes it quite a different game to when it originally launched on the 22nd of June. The map has undergone a reshuffle, new puzzles have been added, power ups need to be used to escape the area they where collected in and the beginning has been redesigned, all making for a much smoother and improved experience. Backtracking through the map to find those areas you missed is now a painless experience thanks to shortcuts that unlock as you progress through Gateways. The cost of using help points to discover if a puzzle is solvable has been dropped to 5 orbs and various graphical improvements have also been made.
Gateways is a 2D platform game set in the lab of an inventor called Ed following an outbreak of a number of his more “creative” experiments. Can
you help him escape the lab? A sophisticated help system will help Ed along throughout the game. Every puzzle has a help point next to it where Ed can use power orbs to find out if the puzzle can be solved using his current power ups and abilities. If it can be solved and you’re still stumped then spending more power orbs will provide you with the solution.
Like the sound of Gateways? Well go grab it on September 16th!
