Though of its no huge consequence - you just end up at the last checkpoint - it's vexing enough during more particular spaces of traversal because checkpoints are just scarce enough to make setbacks like that just punishing enough to enrage. Landing with anything more than the momentum you left the ground with always results in immediate death. Traipsing about proves difficult because of the momentum that quickly builds up from twisting the world mid-jump.

Puzzles here are but mere speed-bumps - a momentary hiccup in the game's action.Īnd Yet It Moves' real obstacles come from the platforming. Never does the game try to stump you by introducing some new way of using your world twisting ability nor does it obfuscate the solution even slightly. They drop you into a situation of "clear this obstacle" and give you a very clear solution. All but a couple of the game's puzzles are like this. Walking forward only causes the lizard to attack and the tunnel isn't populated by anything else which could be manipulated. Using the aforementioned iguana puzzle, for instance, the bats standout as the only solution because there is literally nothing that suggests another alternative. They don't outright tell you the solution, but they aren't subtle about it either. In puzzle solving, its use, while occasionally clever, is wasted on the over-simplicity of the puzzles. Iguana blocking your path? Direct some nearby bats toward it by twisting the world around, thus causing them to move to a new ceiling to hang from. Come across a large pit? Flip the world on its head and walk along the ceiling then. From navigation to light puzzle solving, everything And Yet It Moves does involves twisting the world around to a certain degree. For you see, the protagonist, remarkably enough, has the innate ability to twist the world around at will. Small jumps and slow movement limit his exploration prowess, but not to any serious measure. Obstacles are easily leapt over, despite your character's lacking physical abilities. It's an easy-going game on the surface, its environments rather nonthreatening and its puzzles light. Though you won't have any idea what's going on, And Yet It Moves still manages to grasp a fair level of entertainment.įor the most part, And Yet It Moves is standard platforming fare. So much so, in fact, that the experience loses any semblance of meaning, the journey you embark on being incomprehensible because it eschews context in favor of the enigmatic. A game that indulges greatly in the realm of the abstract.

Such is And Yet It Moves, a two-dimensional platformer from indie developer Broken Rules. Whether the journey will lead to salvation or ruin no one knows. All you know is that you need to traverse it. It never gives you any inkling to motives of your pencil-drawn protagonist or how he ended up in this strange world of paper. It is a game steeped in mystery, for the very sake of mystery.
