History
The world of Prime Mover was initially created for a jam project called Dead Ringer, a top-down roguelike shooter. The project was eventually canceled, but by that time the studio had fallen in love with the world and lore of the project. Inspired by other open-ended puzzle games, 4Bit set out to create a game about creativity in the same universe. Prime Mover took over two years to complete.
