FLX. is truly an one-of-a-kind multiplayer racing game for four players. In FLX., each player controls (via keyboard or Xbox Kinekt) a character that is physically connected to three other characters by means of an elastic band. Thus players are forced to collaborate without any possible means of oral or written communication in order to navigate through a white, space where they are hindered by the oddest of obstacles. Like playing poker, the non-verbal communication of your players is the only form of communication. FLX. is a fun to play AND fun to watch.
FLX. was created by multi-media wizard Han Hoogerbrugge, creator of the online interactive animation series HOTEL and Modern Living, in collaboration with game designer Sander van der Vegte, creator of the old school shooter Rocket Riot.
A Split Second
FLX. is one of three short video games developed as part of the game research project A Split Second – a collaboration between Submarine Channel and Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam. FLX. was made possible with the support of the Dutch Game Fund and the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science, SNS REAAL, VSB Fund and Submarine Channel.
