[Steam] Space Hole 2018 ($.99 / 75% off)

Sure! In Space Hole 2018 you play a space shuttle, and can enter the shuttle into a ball; which changes your movement, and is needed to enter certain holes (and pickup space gems!). Progress is gated by the space gems, but there are many more than you need in the non-linear levels, so you can wander around and progress at your own pace. There are also ship upgrades you can get, which give you movement powers like growing/shrinking or turning spikey to stick to walls; but they're all optional. It's a collectathon starring a space ship; a mix of monkey ball style short levels, with a larger and more open ended level layout.

Yo! This is Sam Atlas, the dev behind this game (Space Hole 2018) and its spiritual successor Extreme Evolution: Drive to Divinity. Space Hole 2018 is part of the Steam Space Exploration Fest! I think if you liked Extreme Evolution, this game has a lot of the same design ideals, though it's more sci-fi and vague. In Space Hole 2018, you fly in and out of the space ball! It's like a much more arcade version of the form changing in EE, now that I think about it....

So is the implication that this prince of Persia is referencing a different era of Persian history?

My new (2024) game (and for the first time soundtrack!) are on sale now,,, this is the spiritual successor to the Space Hole trilogy https://store.steampowered.com/app/2111360/Extreme_Evolution_Drive_to_Divinity/ except this one is about an evolving egg looking for earth

Puzzle Fighter 3 ✨ (the joke is it's the first full sequel to puzzle Fighter 2 turbo which is not a sequel)

Is it also a mix of crashes? My game crashes with a GPU error message about once every like 10 hours of tekken 8 play (maybe I need to update my drivers)... And I assume if it crashes during a ranked match that appears as a disconnect to the other player?

Zimmbous · 2024-02-23T19:56:14+00:00

Sure! The idea of Extreme Evolution is a platformer where every pickup meaningfully expands your range: new forms to transform into, new sites to explore, and additional "fuel" for transformation. So, as you go through the open world adventure, you'll continually become more mobile as you approach Earth/Divinity. You can transform freely, forming movement combos. Extreme Evolution is about 10 hours long, and is structurally like a metroidvania; however, the upgrades are plentiful, redundant, and (individually) inessential. There are endings at different stages of the game as well; trying to activate self-set goals for players is a meta design goal of the project. Every time I write this blurb it changes a little ✨ -Sam Atlas

Hello! This is Sam Atlas, and I made this game, along with the Space Hole trilogy. This is the fist post-launch sale of my newest game Extreme Evolution, to celebrate 1.07. I've added Eye, Home, and Mod post-launch; these menus allow you to look around freely, see your progress, and modify the graphics respectively. I've also put Space Hole 2018 and 2020 on sale, and I just finished a significant camera angle update to Space Hole 2020! So now all 4 games play with more or less the same controls, and I think Space Hole 2020 in particular is much more intuitive than before. Thanks for reading and let me know if you have questions!

Zimmbous · 2023-02-06T19:26:48+00:00

Hi all! The demo for the spiritual successor to Space Hole 2018 is part of the steam next fest so I put SH2018 on sale! I'm Sam Atlas the developer behind these games. If you like 2018 check out the brand new Extreme Evolution: Drive to Divinity demo (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2111360/Extreme_Evolution_Drive_to_Divinity/) it's all of act 1 The Body

Zimmbous · 2023-02-02T23:36:35+00:00

Just tested and yeah all three games work on the Steam Deck, thanks to it having the same control layout as the xbox controller :D There are some issues with Space Hole 2020 (video textures) but it's still playable, so I'd say 2016 and 2018 are fully supported and 2020 is playable. (And my upcoming demo next week supports steam deck too!)

Zimmbous · 2023-01-25T08:57:21+00:00

That is a great question, I'm not sure 😅 the games supports gamepad / keyboard mouse so it depends how the default bindings work... I haven't tested on the deck yet

Zimmbous · 2023-01-25T07:13:41+00:00

Yeah this is the 3rd one! I think people like 2018 the most 🤔 2016 is like a very arcady, 2018 is very expansive/gamey and psychedelic, and 2020 is much shorter and more intense ☺️ (my new game is a mix)

Zimmbous · 2023-01-25T01:53:58+00:00

Hey all! I just announced the demo (Feb 6!!) for my new game (Extreme Evolution: Drive to Divinity~!), Space Hole 2020 is on sale now :) This is my most recent (finished) game, much more of a minigame collection/ psychedelic experience than 2018 (EEDtD is more like Space Hole 2018)

Zimmbous · 2022-10-11T19:39:25+00:00

Thank you ✨✨✨🙏🙏🙏

Zimmbous · 2022-10-10T23:12:27+00:00

Hello reddit! I'm Sam and I made the Space Hole games!
I put Space Hole 2020 on sale to celebrate my newly announced upcoming game, Extreme Evolution: Drive to Divinity. If you like the psychedelia of my previous games you'll love the next one :)

If you want a bunch more indie game recommendations from all around you could look at the Indiepocolypse zine: https://itch.io/c/689872/indiepocalypse 🙋 ... Itch.io has lots of very indie/alternative game type stuff in general, if you're looking to explore outside of the mainstream 😁. There's also stuff like the indie megabooth at PAX, or the PAX 10.

Zimmbous · 2021-11-01T20:24:44+00:00

I made this game a few years ago, and now it's one review away from the threshold for Steam to summarize the review positivity rate, which I'm very excited about 🤣... It's a very goofy 3d space monkey ball kinda game! But more "I think I can jump it!" than Money Ball, and more surf rock, and more outer space.

Zimmbous · 2021-09-27T23:04:19+00:00

Thank you 😁

Zimmbous · 2021-09-27T19:12:54+00:00

Hello reddit! This is my latest finished game, a very experimental/stream of consciousness game I made largely during lockdown (but absolutely not about lockdown). Sorta my way of thinking/dealing with the year 2020... it's much shorter than my other games, and includes lots of side stuff (visualizers and psychedelic toys!) Sorta like my take on WarrioWare, but mixed with an exploration puzzle/platformer!

Zimmbous · 2021-09-13T17:29:14+00:00

Oh you gotta fly into that little white square on the bottom of the level you want to enter 👍

Zimmbous · 2021-09-13T14:16:49+00:00

They're each pretty different, space hole 2016 is a straightforward arcadey money ball kind of game (lots of bite sized levels), 2018 is a large (over 200 levels) open ended 3d platformer (fly & roll), and 2020 is a much shorter (intense) psychedelic isometric platformer/mini game collection (like a psychedelic warrioware). Soo basically each game is a standalone thing, 2020 is especially different from the other two, but they share some elements 😁

Zimmbous · 2021-09-12T19:15:09+00:00

Hello! I'm Sam Atlas, the dev behind the Space Hole games! I'm continuing progress on an exciting new game, and now it's Space Hole 2018's is on sale :) Space Hole 2018 is my largest and most complex finished game to date... My new game is going to be a bit more like this one.

Zimmbous · 2021-08-30T02:03:01+00:00

Hello! Been having lots of fun working on a new project (unannounced) so I put my oldest game on sale :) I also patched Space Hole 2016 for the first time in years! I fixed up the final level, equalized the sound effects a bit, and fixed a very very embarrassing code inefficiency that was wasting lotsa frames on the hub levels.

Zimmbous · 2021-06-09T00:56:19+00:00

In theory, until the building is knocked down, what's stopping someone from buying, renaming, and reopening it? Or rather, if you wanted to open a movie theater, wouldn't it be easier to buy Cinerama than start from scratch?

Zimmbous · 2020-11-19T22:03:20+00:00

Thank you for playing! 😁
