Maskout

Welcome to MaskOut, a unique puzzle game developed by B8 Studio for this year's Global Gamejam 2026.

In MaskOut, you are not just a player; you are a glitch in the system. You accompany a protagonist trapped inside the workspace of a graphic design software. Your goal is simple yet deceptive: Navigate the digital landscape and reach the Exit Portal.

However, the path is broken, and obstacles block your way. To survive, you must master the ultimate tool of this world: The Clipping Mask.

Core Mechanic: The Clipping Mask

Inspired by the graphic design technique, our unique mechanic allows players to interact with the game world in two dimensions simultaneously.

• Peel Back the Layer: Use the Clipping Mask to reveal a parallel dimension hidden beneath the current stage.
• Create Your Path: What looks like empty space might hide solid ground. Use the Mask to reveal hidden platforms and bridges.
• Break the Rules: Use the Mask to open "portals" that allow you to walk through walls or guide objects/projectiles to their targets.
• Solve the Puzzle: The system will challenge you. You must learn to manipulate the Mask creatively to solve increasingly complex puzzles and escape the canvas.

Controls

• Movement: Arrow Keys
• Control Mask: [Insert Key: e.g., Mouse / Spacebar]

Developer Note

This game was created for the Game Jam with the theme "Mask". We interpreted the theme not just through character design, but through the lens of digital art mechanics—using a "Mask" to hide and reveal different realities.
