Flux was a cancelled PS1 and PC game from Pulse Entertainment and Eight Cylinder.
It is a 3D platformer with sci-fi gravity-based action.
Plot
The game started off as a bright colourful throwback to the silent comedy films.
You play as Simon, on a quest to do rescue hostages from Dr Death Vac.
He has taken them to the parallel dimension named Flux.
Gameplay
There was to be five unique worlds.
Each rescued hostage would reveal a new clue about Dr. Death Vac.
It turns out Vac was a former employee who inflated his head and got fired and wants revenge.
Development
Game studios Pulse and 7th Level formed two teams: P7 Solutions and Eight Cylinder.
When Pulse went defunct, their offshoot Eight Cylinder got the rights to Flux.
They revamped the game into a more sci-fi affair.
Cancellation
Eight Cylinder sought Psygnosis to publish the game. They were not interested, dooming this game.
Eight Cylinder folded soon after.
