Tool List – Ship Sections
Magnet Ball
Aesthetics: A mechanical Ball with veins of energy covering it. When activated it emits a coloured beam of energy which connects to whatever it is attracted to.
Behaviour: It is attracted to various objects. It is light so it will not pull in objects that are far away or too heavy. When it is being attracted to something a beam of energy connects between the ball and the other item.
Control: The player drags the ball around the screen. When it is in close proximity to an item it can be attracted to it automatically activates. It can then be used to move objects around, add weight, connect to other magnet balls or create a small impact of the player releases the ball (the beam of energy acts like elastic sending the ball flying into the item it’s attracted to)
Force Field
Aesthetics: Semi transparent with some sparkly particles. Viewable at any angle. At the base there is an emitter. A switch is connected via wires which are used for turning on and off. When shut down the field itself fades but the emitter remains.
Behaviour: Blocks Lost from advancing and the player from interacting directly with objects on the side lost is not on.
Control: A switch on the wall connected via cables controls the force fields. The player will not always be able to directly access these controls.
Weight Switches
Aesthetics: Takes various shapes and forms. Could be a bucket attached to a chain, a see saw like puzzle or anything.
Behaviour: The player must add weight to activate the switch. Once activated it can have any effect helping the player advance such as opening doors, granting objects etc.
Control: The player must directly or indirectly add weight to the switch. Different objects have different weight values. Some switches require more weight than others.
Claw/Crane
Aesthetics: A large mechanical Claw, attached to its base via cord.
Behaviour: When activated the claw lowers, opens then latches onto anything directly beneath it that is lift able. It then rises and on further input swings around and lowers/releases what it is holding in a new location.
Control: Tapping the claw causes it to lower and release/grab. Tapping the base causes it to swing/move. It only has 2 positions, claw to the left of the base and claw to the right.
Visor of Truth
Aesthetics: When activated, a visor appears over Lost’s eyes. Looks badass. Has a very familiar effect on the screen.
Behaviour: A circular radius follows the player’s pointer/touch which reveals hidden or invisible objects.
Control: Activated by tapping Lost.
Key Card
Aesthetics: A small electronic key card used to open doors.
Behaviour: Once the player has obtained the key card, they can use it on a locked door to unlock it.
Control: Once collected it goes into Lost’s pocket. It then appears in the top right corner of the screen as a small icon. Touching a lock causes the key to be automatically used.

Test Tube Creature
Aesthetics: A cute/ugly alien in a jar. It has one big eye. Behaviour: The player can pick up the jar. The alien is loose in the jar, so if the player shakes the jar he rattles around. The creature’s eye follows the player’s mouse pointer/lost if the player isn’t touching the screen. Weight: Light.

When disturbed it violently bounces from wall to wall. It cannot be grabbed. The player can only contain it by cornering it between object/walls. Weight: None.
Escaped Test Tube Creature
Aesthetics: The same creature from the test tube, but running free. Behaviour: While it is alive, it dashes away from the pointer/touch. If squashed by something, it can be used as a weight. As long as these creatures are loose, the room they are in is on lockdown. Weight: Light.
