JS13KGames entry for 2018, theme is "Offline".
Fred lives on planet Figadore in the Hercules cluster, he likes watching cat videos from planet Earth via Parallax Shift, but the network link has gone OFFLINE!
Help Fred by unlocking doors, solving puzzles and collecting cubes to pay for the entanglement repolarisation required to get his planet back online.
