Save the world — before it kills you.

the city never sleeps...

Emblem is an exciting new 2-D platformer from Pandora's Sphere. The game is being developed as a project for the spring 2009 semester of CIS 3000: Intro to Computer Game Design at Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y.

You take control of a hacker who makes a living as a "digital mercenary," living on the edge and doing jobs for the highest bidder. On one of these assignments, you find a mysterious list of names — including your own! All of the other names on the list are also hackers, and all of them seem to be dying rapidly.

In hope of saving your own life, you'll need to work your way through engaging levels filled with dangerous enemies and cunning traps. Stealth is your main weapon: you'll be able to hack and build devices that conceal your presence and allow you to slip by guards and drones undetected.

Emblem debuted at the 2009 Game Design Initiative at Cornell Showcase on May 9. Grab the game from the downloads page right now!
