Mark Yeager and Genesis Vault
In a dystopian near-future Earth, ravaged by war, disease, and famine, the totalitarian Arcadian Parliament maintains absolute control, keeping the populace in darkness about rebuilding their world. Mark Yeager, a scientist under Parliament's employ, discovers the Genesis Vault in his research on ancient ruins. The Vault, created by a long-extinct alien race, contains knowledge from a powerful black hole that enabled their interstellar civilization to flourish. When Yeager reveals his findings, hoping to harness this knowledge for humanity, Parliament, aware of the Vault, orders his arrest to keep the power for themselves. Refusing to give in, Yeager flees on an experimental time-traveling motorcycle, needing to gather scattered energy sources known as 'power gears' to fuel his journey back in time and unearth the secrets of the Vault to save the future.

Really liked the game, my score is 160 :D Good job!
Interesting concept it has some decent graphics and didnt seem to load that long for me. I enjoyed the narration although it didn't seem skippable. Not sure if it loaded during that but it was ready to play by the time the narration was over for me. I think if there were more freedom in control it would be more challenging and them more fun as well. Awesome job nonetheless
Many ideas involving power-ups, cut scenes, and level progression didn't make it to the jam deadline. We might turn it into a full-scale game going forward. It's also in open source, so someone else can pick it up as a starting point.
The game takes too long to load and seem it is unresponsive...
Also better to put your control instruction in your description
Thanks a lot for the feedback! I overlooked an external dependency when creating the zip package for the submission—the font used for the start screen. As a result, the game was failing to load for the past 8 hours. It's fixed now. Thanks again!
