About
Explore, Parkour, Save the world!
Skybound is a game about exploration with an Exhilarating movement system. Using Bells abilities to bring the world back together!
Skybound is a 3D exploration platformer focused on fun, fluid movement mechanics, parkour and environmental puzzle solving. You play as Bell, a young archaeologist exploring mystical floating islands in search of ancient artifacts. Use Bell's specialized equipment - including a Grappling Anchor, agility boots, and mastery over the magical "Flow" - to investigate ruins untouched by explorers for ages.
Swing through the sky, traverse the islands and meet its curious and whacky inhabitants. You've got a contract to fulfill and mysteries to unearth!
Please note that this is only ACT 1, more acts will be made if the game is positively received!
In Skybound you can EXPLORE three different islands.
By using Bell's GRAPPELING HOOK.
And once you've mastered the MOMENTUM and FLOW of the game you'll be FLYING like this:
And Most importantly, you can destroy oh so many POTS! Some even contain collectibles!
And if your good enough you might make it to the global Steam Leaderboards!
Bell wasn't exactly what Professor A. N. Curia - who studies anicent human civilization - expected to receive. Shipped to the Professor archaeologist as "Human Remains", the package contained something far more alive: a baby. Turns out, raising a human is excellent for research (and admittedly, pretty adorable).
Growing up, Bell took to her mentor/parent's work in a big way. She spent countless nights under the blanket reading about lost civilizations, and even more time tagging along on excavation trips. Eager as ever, she learned fast by studying artifacts, documenting ruins and decoding ancient texts. By seventeen, she'd shaped into a fine archaeologist in her own right.
Now she's got her very first solo job! The client came through Professor A. N. Curia, so they must be reputable. The mission is straightforward: retrieve an artifact from the ancient and mysterious sky islands and prove she's a real archaeologist. This is the beginning of something great!
But as Bell explores the floating ruins, something feels... off. Questions keep surfacing that don't quite add up. What exactly does the client want with this artifact? And why all the secrecy?
Skybound is a demo created over 6 weeks by a multidisciplinary team of students from many different universities together for a semester at DADIU (Danish Academy of Digital, Interactive Entertainment). This project brought together aspiring developers, artists, designers and composers, all of whom have never worked on a game of this scale before, and with this tight of a schedule.
While we're incredibly proud of what we've accomplished in such a short timeframe, you may encounter bugs or rough edges along the way. We appreciate your understanding and hope you enjoy exploring the sky islands with Bell despite any hiccups!
Thank you for playing our game!

PLEASE play this game. THIS IS PEAAAAKKKKK the mechanics are super fun and really well made!
The game's main strength is that it makes running, jumping, and grappling-hooking one's way around floating islands a lot of fun. But it also has interesting lore and quirky characters, great voice acting, and lots of charm. Some parts are rough around the edges - e.g., the UI needs work and I got stuck in the level geometry once - but the devs are evidently still working on it. My only ludonarrative quibble is how the game has you play as a trained archeologist, but at the same time incentivizes the player to break what is supposedly ancient pottery strewn across the islands, due to some of said pottery containing collectibles. For the first hundred pots or so, I actually felt guilty doing that. Not guilty enough to stop looking for discoveries, though.

After completing the 2nd map (sandy place, it says to go back to the village. Uh... What village? Where is it? I tried returning to the first map and the tutorial and first dialog began replaying; an unskippable dialog cutscene! Found an NPC that I was supposed to visit earlier.. or maybe it's just backtracking, so the 2nd area can be repeated. While escaping at the very end of the 3rd area, I fell into a hole that did not pass through and had to restart the entire level! There's NO restart from checkpoint or Unstuck command. It seems as though every level has something that may force you to do them all over again :/.
very fun and cool mechanics. i love the worldbuilding and movement aspects of the game. im excited for new up coming qorlds :D

Interesting mechanic and pleasant visuals. A little rough around the edges is all. Two minor complaints: 1. I got stuck in a bush once with no way of getting out. 2. When falling down, you can see some out of bounds areas that are not properly detailed, which breaks immersion a little bit.
