Inversus is a minimalist action-strategy game by Ryan Juckett (Hypersect). It is played on a grid of black and white tiles where each player is restricted to either side. Players flip tiles towards their color to gain control and close in on the enemy. With every action changing the play space, each round evolves into a unique battle field.
History
Inversus was conceived as a potential game jam project during the summer of 2013. Though the game jam ended up taking a different direction, the concept never left Ryan’s thoughts, and he decided to prototype it over the winter holidays. He has since programmed the engine from the ground up, designed the art, and learned a thing or two about synthesizing sounds. With a year and a half of spare time and polish behind him, the game is closing in on release.
