About this game
Hello! We’re a small indie team launching our first game, Pollen. It’s an intense, hardcore escape-the-maze experience currently in Early Access, and we’re thrilled to share it with players.
Prepare for the ultimate challenge: navigate intricate mazes, collect keys to unlock doors, and outwit relentless guardians that are always on your trail. The game demands both skill and strategy – carefully place your Respawn Totem save your position in the level and plan your moves, but beware: one mistake could send you right back to the start. Suspense, tactics, and survival – do you have what it takes to conquer the maze?
Right now, the game offers Classic Mode, but we’re planning exciting updates like Time Attack Mode (finish a level in under 10 minutes!), additional levels and maybe even more (Multiplayer anyone?).
This is our Roadmap for 2025
Thanks for checking us out!
Best, FSTR Team
