# Gluon **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 Featured 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. Standout community maps get chosen to become the Featured 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, ca
