Alpha Playground 1 is a gameplay demonstration for the game COZ, which I am currently developing. I have recently made it available for download. As I develop, I periodically make these test levels to experiment with one or two of the games elements. AP1 exists to test the grappling and thrusting mechanics in the game. Swinging around is a huge amount of fun, so I decided to polish this particular test level up for release into the wild.
The download is available here (note this requires the Rift and Hydra both):

If you have a look around the site, you'll find a number of other posts with more detail on the development process. A small video of the gameplay in AP1 can be found below. It'll give you an idea what to do when you encounter the Cit Shells hidden around the level (hint, it requires something called an Energy Thwapper
