Evaluation

Flywrench launched on August 24, 2015 as a complete, self-contained action game featuring a single-player campaign of over 170 levels. Post-launch activity consisted of a couple of early bug fix and feature patches in 2015, and a small set of bonus "Asteroid" levels added via Steam Workshop in May 2017. A free demo of the first planet was made available on May 13, 2024, but this is a promotional tool for the existing game rather than new content. There is no DLC, no roadmap, no announced future content, and the developer has made no statements suggesting further development. The game launched as a finished product, and all post-launch activity has been maintenance or minor additions consistent with wrapping up a completed release.

About this game


Flip your ship’s polarity between three different colors to get around obstacles. Each maneuver that you perform, such as flapping like a bird, or tumbling like a baton, changes its color. Match the ship's color with a shape's to pass through it, hit an obstacle as the wrong color and fail. The pace is unrelenting and, in a blink, the challenge resets without penalty. Flywrench is accompanied by an epic electronic music soundtrack curated by Daedelus.
