Our take on Argus Panoptes
The game makes precise eye control its central challenge, trading a broader mix of platforming activities for levels built around manipulating movement with a small set of abilities.
What is Argus Panoptes?
Argus Panoptes is a 2D platformer set among cryptic ruins and debris in a post-apocalyptic dystopia where mythology meets surveillance.
The goal is to collect the eyes of Argus and complete the levels. Forcefields can bounce an eye, while Force and Slow abilities alter its trajectory and give more control over its movement. Combining these abilities lets players guide the eye through each level. Quick tutorial levels introduce the mechanics. The game also includes Survival, a time-attack mode, and global leaderboards where players can compare times with others.
