We use a combination of stunning pixel art, music, and unique narrative techniques to paint a charming postmodern story that will keep players intrigued and entertained until the end. 100+ HANDCRAFTED CHALLENGES This game features a distinct gameplay mechanic: our hero cannot move on his own, so you’ll have to rotate platforms and manipulate environments to launch him around a beautiful 16-bit world. You'll need logic, brainpower, quick reflexes, and unconditional trust in A.I.D.E. to pass more than a hundred highly polished levels. You’ll be surprised that it doesn’t get old. INTENTIONAL AND UNINTENTIONAL COMEDY Our testers have been enjoying some of the game’s philosophical jokes, and moments that weren’t meant to be jokes.
