Searching for a Vortex

I''m looking for a game played a few months ago. It was a free game. I think it was called Vortex or something like that. The premise of the game was simple. You control a little purple polygon thing that is traveling down the inside of a pipe made of blocks. A lot of these blocks are missing. You have the ability to jump. You have to reach the end of the tunnel as fast as you can without falling into one of the holes. It had a interesting graphical style. I remember most of the colors used were grey, purple, black and white. All the faces of every polygon where outlined in a white wire-frame. Very clean and appealing. Any help?

Beautiful!

One question: Does anyone know how to make those neat white outlines on the polygons?

Game design, buddy. Game design...

Anyway, there is a number of ways to do any one task. If you want white outlines on polygons -- which does actually sound neat with high resolutions and stuff -- you could just use the edges of the polygons to draw white lines. You could also use them to make up another polygon that''s all white, and put it underneith the polygon you''re drawing. You could distort that white polygon a little and get some other effects, even though this usually turns out really ugly. My opinion.

Hope that helped.
Im going to ask this...not sure if its possible, but I know alot of programs (mspaint, powerpoint etc.) have two color settings on polygons, a fill color, and an outline color, i know these are not graphics programs but its just an idea...is something like that available, if it is i think it would be really easy to do what your asking.
Ideas presented here are free. They are presented for the community to use how they see fit. All I ask is just a thanks if they should be used.
