During the production of the music video we were always toying with the idea of turning it into an actual game so in our spare time we did!

The game takes you through the areas explored in the video over a fully playable 5-level game covering MC M.Manifest's journey in Ghana, space, through an underwater world, New York City and finally back into outer space. What score can you finish with?
