About

Project

Read full description

Project Loading, an arcade puzzle game with a minimalist design, is the story of a Loading Bar on its way to 100%. Play it and you'll find out that, while you're wondering why on earth the loading is taking so long, the Loading Bar is going through hell for you — and you'll end up rooting for it. Project Loading is a game of precision and skill, designed down to the last detail to create hundreds of little brain teasers. Tilt and move your phone to reach 100%! • Play more than 100 levels and face all kinds of obstacles: Slow-down and Speed Areas, Bouncers, sudden position changes caused by the Anchors, and Doors to open — all within the short time you're given! • The most important thing? Don't get out of the field of crosses, or you'll start all over again! • Activate powers such as Infinite Time, Immortality or Resurrection, and think about when and where to use them to reach the next level! • Create your own levels and share them with your friends, who will test their nerves trying to complete them! • Share your best levels with the AnAlphaBeta Studio team: they may be released in a future version! In Project Loading, "defeat" and "failure" are everyday words, but after a few rounds your self-control will be worthy of a Zen master. Features: - Arcade and puzzle game - Accelerometer controls - 100+ levels - Minimalist graphics - Pop culture references - Simple, with short rounds - Countless items and obstacles to interact with - Level Editor
