Jupiter Jones was an idea that came about from re-imagining the FPS genre. Instead of using a gun to shoot, the player can only manipulate objects, pushing and pulling with their gravity gun. The game play involves the use of 'weight' in objects to move the player around the map and solve puzzles.

The story is of a seasoned adventurer, searching through old ruins on Titan. Drawn heavily from the imagery of Indiana Jones, the game places a heavy emphasis on theme.
