Harlow is a physics-based 2D platformer developed by Arman Nobari and Vault Labs as a debut intellectual property. Players navigate a compact robot named Harlow alongside a logistics A.I. called Manifesto to coordinate a surprise party for cryogenically frozen colonists. The core loop involves gathering supplies across an ancient planet to prevent panic when the crew awakens aboard the off-course R1-Humanity.
Movement mechanics prioritize momentum-driven jumping and rolling to bypass acid oceans, lavafalls, and ancient machinery. A decoration system uses 3D printed supplies to transform the ship's interior, with player choices resulting in multiple ending paths. The title earned the Gold award at the 2022 NYX Game Awards. Success relies on balancing hazardous exploration with festive logistics.
