The rotation of the world is a deep enough mechanic to support a game of this length for sure.
It's extremely intelligent game design, and despite my use of the word "gimmick," it absolutely isn't that. Obstacles range from the standard (a platform is too high to reach, so you rotate the world and it becomes accessible) to the near-absurd (for instance, in one situation, bananas keep falling from a tree, and rotating the world so that the banana doesn't splat and instead lands in the hands of a gorilla who blocks the way, allowing you passage). This sets up a number of near-puzzle situations, in that obstacles can really only be traversed by using this ability. Where And Yet it Moves differs from the standard platformer formula is in its main "gimmick," which is the ability to completely rotate the world around your character. And like most platformers, it's about getting your little dude to the end of the level.
AND YET IT MOVES PC GAMEPLAY TV
Brokenrules have ported this game over with great care, and having done some reading on the game, it looks like the WiiWare version is the one to get for sure, and not just because you can see it on a TV rather than a computer monitor.įor those of you unaware of what this game is about, And Yet it Moves is purely a game – there's no story involved at all.
AND YET IT MOVES PC GAMEPLAY MAC
It's great for someone like me, who only has access to a Mac with any regularity, and who prefers to keep my gaming and my computing separate. It's become quite clear that WiiWare is the avenue of choice for indie PC developers, and And Yet it Moves is only the latest in a long line of ported PC games to the service. It's perhaps a totally irrational response to a game that does so much right, but at times I found the game just a touch academic, when I feel that an approach to the game's aesthetics in a similar vein as, say, World of Goo, would have been more appropriate.įirst, though, let's get all of the good stuff out of the way.
There's no doubt that And Yet it Moves is one of the very best WiiWare games yet available, marrying inventive platforming and incredible controls but I just can't shake this feeling that the game just leaves me cold.
