How did you use Houdini to make your game?
We made a "room generator" HDA to be able to quickly create parts from which the level is constructed during gameplay. A room is constructed from two portals using predefined shapes, which are bridged to create room's walls. The game then uses baked information about portals' shapes and positions to properly place rooms in a sequence.

Base model for a character made of detached sculpted blobs is loaded into Houdini, remeshed, UV unwrapped and rigged with KineFX tools.
The model is also textured in Houdini by baking vertex colors from a few object onto the mesh.

Carabiner model!

List instructions and tips for playing your game here.
Swing on the ropes and see how far can you go.
There is no goal to reach aside from mastering the movement and going as far as you can as fast as you can.
If you fall down​ or get stuck, restart from the main menu.

Bug notes:
Do not use the hook button (LMB) while you are on a regular rope. It will make you drop down. Only use the hook button in mid-air when in proximity of a hook point.
There are a few nasty bugs with how hooks behave. Among other things, a hook point will falslely visually signify a possible connection if you approach it from above. In actuality, you can only connect to it if you are lower than it is!

WASD - Swing, steer
Mouse - Look around
Space - Jump (double jump in mid-air)
LMB - Hook (for big carabiners with orange circles appearing around them. Hold to connect, release to let go)
