'And Yet It Moves'

Alright so I've been meaning to do this next blog for a while now. What at first I thought would be a time-buster has turned out to be an insanely addictive and wonderfully weird 21st Century platform with a twist, that's a 90 degree twist to be specific. 'And Yet It Moves' is available on Wii but I've purchased the Mac version which I'm finding so enjoyable. It's a physics puzzle game with the basic premise of manipulating gravity to manoeuvre your paper thin character through the levels. The levels look stunning in their makeshift composition: with photos of real leaves, stones and trees torn into shape to make up the ground, trees and other environment. The soundtrack is also another point of worthy note; eerie noises and melodies accompany every movement and change in your surroundings making for a quirky, surreal and strangely beautiful experience.










The trailer ad doesn't let this game down one little bit. Striking in its visual simplicity, the white living room scene perfectly portrays the quirky charm of 'And Yet It Moves' and at the same time captures the sense of involvement with every frenzied tumble. Great all round little game.
