About

Obsidian is a 2D game with exploration elements where you must investigate the interior of of a massive space station. It is built into the crater of an asteroid and you need to restore power to escape the gravitational pull of a quickly closing-in black hole.

As the lone astronaut, you must search the space station to find the power systems, reset the flight plan and teleport back to your mothership before it's too late. There are a number of automated defence systems that you'll need to avoid including robotic guards patrolling the corridors and electrified sections of the ship that need to be neutralised to progress through. You can walk on the floor of the station or use your jetpack to reach otherwise inaccessible areas and move just a little quicker – you'll need to be careful not to run out of Nitro for it though, although there are plenty of spots onboard that you can replenish the energy.
