A pixel-art 2D platformer largely based on playing with the laws of physics. Bionic Bay allows us to control a scientist trying to escape from an ancient biomechanic world. We use our parkour skills, but we also manipulate gravity to avoid dangers and solve puzzles.
Bionic Bay is a 2D sci-fi platformer with high-density pixel art graphics. It is exploiting the laws of physics, particularly gravity. The game was created in collaboration with Finnish artist-designer Juhana Myllys (Mureena), who previously worked on Badland 2, and the Thai duo of programmers from Psychoflow Studio.
In Bionic Bay we find ourselves in a post-apocalyptic world where nature is combined with mechanics. The land is full of mysterious technologies and secrets hidden in diverse biomes, just waiting to be discovered.
The key element is the ability to manipulate the laws of physics. We control the gravity of the entire world and we also have the ability to swap places with various objects in our path.
This allows for faster movement around the locations and solving puzzles. It also affects the difficulty level and the dangers we encounter.
We can easily fall or slip from platforms. Additionally, any change in physics also affects the fluids, beams, and particles that surround us.
The visual design of the game is created from detailed science-fiction landscapes in high-density pixel-art style. All locations differ from each other, which is also influenced by the atmospheric sounds.

Game Ratings for Bionic Bay Video Game.
Twisted Voxel: 8.5 / 10 by Salal Awan
A precision-platformer gem that dazzles with its inventive teleportation mechanics and striking biomechanical aesthetic. While its visual opaqueness occasionally frustrates, the razor-sharp level design and momentum-driven gameplay make it a must-play for fans of the genre—even if it doesn’t quite reach the narrative heights of its Limbo-esque inspirations.
DualShockers: 10 / 10 by Ethan Krieger
Bionic Bay is a truly special platformer that is wildly creative and endlessly smart. Each new section of gameplay is a mini-puzzle that utilizes the game's movement and powers extraordinarily intuitively, leading to continuous rewarding solutions that encourage players to think outside the box and bend the world's mechanics to their will.
Slant Magazine: 4 / 5 by Aaron Riccio
In the end, the only relevant the game is the one that recognizes its own worthlessness, a system of recording that “only values information deemed beneficial to the mission,” with no regard for emotions. Why? Because when Bionic Bay stops trying to explain the science at its center and lets its environments speak for themselves, in everything from the monochromic backgrounds to the starkly foregrounded contraptions, you may just be filled with awe.
