Gluon

About the Game

ABOUT THIS GAME

You are a gluon, the smallest link in the cosmic chain, barely holding matter together.

But now you’re alone—torn from reality, racing toward a black hole at the edge of a collapsing digital universe. Behind you: entropy. Ahead: the event horizon. And between you and total annihilation? An endless, shifting labyrinth of unstable platforms, failed physics, and corrupted space-time.

Gluon is a fast-paced, neon-lit infinity-platformer where momentum, creativity, and reflexes collide. Build impossible levels. Dodge vanishing platforms. Dash through gravity loops. Bend time. Challenge friends to beat your best runs. Then do it all again—faster, cleaner, weirder.

The black hole doesn’t stop. Neither can you.

MAPBUILDER MAYHEM

Build your escape route—or someone else’s demise.

You’re not just running. You’re designing the path forward through an ever-decaying world. Gluon’s built-in Mapbuilder gives you the tools to craft levels defy the laws of physics.

• Snap together platforms, patches, and traps

• Save and share custom presets

• Upload maps to the Community Hub for others to play and rate

• Compete for a spot in the Weekly Challenge—where one map becomes the global proving ground

Whether you’re making fluid speedruns or architectural evil, this is your playground. And your testing lab.

COMMUNITY-DRIVEN CHAOS

One universe. Countless creators.

The community is Gluon’s gravity well. With every uploaded map, shared challenge, and leaderboard sprint, the world expands—and spirals further out of control.

Each week, a standout community map becomes the Weekly Challenge, spotlighted for every player to conquer (or be conquered by). Make something brilliant. Or brutal. Maybe both.

PLATFORM HAZARDS

Space is broken. So is the floor.

The black hole’s pull is tearing logic apart. Surfaces don’t behave the way they should. Some help you. Some lie. Some just want you gone.

Expect the unexpected:

• Force platforms shove you in predefined directions—vertical, horizontal, diagonal, chaotic

• Sticky platforms let you cling to ceilings and walls, warping your movement paths

• Distortion platforms bend your vision and perception, subtly—or violently

• Fade platforms disappear as you touch them. Blink and you’re falling.

• Moving platforms add rhythm. Or ruin it.

• Rotators spin entire chunks of the level mid-run—90°, 180°, even full flips

• Speed and jump pads give sudden boosts, catapulting you into new routes

• Jelly fields cling, swell, and drag—sentient goo made of bad vibes

The only rule here is: don’t trust the floor.

MOMENTUM & ABILITIES

Dash. Slow time. Break physics. Then do it again.

You’re not just rolling helplessly into oblivion. You’ve got tools. You’ve got style.

Start with two dash charges to blitz through danger or chain movement across gaps. Activate Bullet Time to slow the world and execute impossible dodges. Collect pickups mid-run to recharge your powers and crank your score multiplier into the stratosphere.

Control is your weapon. Momentum is your language. Style is your signature.

CHALLENGES & CAMPAIGNS

Your run never ends—unless someone beats it.

If you’re a solo runner, dive into the Tutorial Campaign and Mechanics Campaigns, each focused on specific gameplay ideas and platforming techniques. Get fluent in movement, wall clings, and time distortion—then prove your skills in the wild.

Feeling competitive? Create a Challenge Code from any of your runs. Send it to a friend, and they’ll face off against your exact path—complete with a ghost of your run. You beat your best. Then you beat theirs.

Leaderboards track who’s fastest, who’s smartest, and who just refused to die. Welcome to the void.

STYLE YOUR PARTICLE

Tiny doesn’t mean invisible.

You may be a single gluon—cosmic glue, infinitesimal particle—but you’ve got presence. Unlock unique skins to make your mark as you burn across the void. Glitch, glow, pulse, or shimmer: this collapse has never looked so good.

This is Gluon.

The black hole is calling. Build fast. Run faster.
