Trailer for Skull Rock
This video is a quick demonstration of some of the gameplay mechanics that the Sharp player would be using to help defeat enemies and solving puzzles to progress further in the game.
The axe that Sharp wields can be used to defeat enemies in melee combat but can also be thrown to deal damage at range. The axe can also be used to discover hidden messages throughout the environment; when it lands it creates a zone of influence that reveals new information.
This video is a quick demonstration of some of the gameplay mechanics that the Flat player would be using to help defeat enemies and solving puzzles to progress further in the game.
Flat is able to change the appearance of his hands with just a click of a button. This lets him see through his hands as a type of filter to uncover hidden messages that help both players solve puzzles. He also wields two drumsticks that function both as weapons as well as instruments.
It’s the year 90XX.
In space, there was one place that the worst offenders in the galaxy got sent to do time.
Skull Rock.
An asteroid prison of turrets and spikes and fire that jutted up into the stars above. Impregnable. Inescapable. It was the dark heart of reality. Some of the vilest scum and villains in all the known universe were held within its walls. For a thousand years, no one believed that Skull Rock would fall.
Until it did.
The Rhythm Tribunal tapped into the power of the Harmony Drive to keep the prisoners docile and controllable. Then, one day, the Harmony Drive mysteriously shattered and its Notes of Order were scattered throughout the penitentiary. As the facility began to tear itself apart without the Harmony Drive to stabilize it, two prisoners, Sharp and Flat, suddenly found themselves awake and free for the first time in centuries.
Falsely imprisoned, Sharp and Flat set out to restore the power of the Harmony Drive and find the one who stuck them in their cell in the first place… someone who just might be a member of the Rhythm Tribunal, itself!
