About The Prism

The Prism is a 2D puzzle platformer about two pixels, 02 and 03 lost inside a vast prison. Unlike a normal prison, this one is alive. It is called the Prism. Its eyes stare from a distance and watch its prisoners carefully, analyzing their actions and breathing down their necks. You will face many challenges but you don't have to do it alone. You can play by yourself or locally with a friend.

The game holds many challenges and puzzles. Different elements and environments are added to create more unique situations using the abilities you have been given. As well as that, you will need to use each other as a means of getting past puzzles, opening doors and continuing your journey. The puzzles are challenging, the prism is dangerous and the world is cruel. It is possible to escape, but at what risk?

2D puzzle-platformer in which, alone or in local co-op, you control two pixels trying to escape a living prison full of puzzles and obstacles ✅Very good co-op gameplay,the game was designed with two players in mind (you can also control two characters individually) ✅Wide variety of mechanics; new ideas and gameplay rules appear every few levels ✅Diverse biomes (water, desert, moon, jungle), each offering unique puzzles ✅Creative puzzles instead of constant platform jumping ✅Colorful pixel graphics ✅Calm music that fits the game's atmosphere ✅The final boss is based on a puzzle, not just combat ✅Very good price for 80 levels ❌Uneven puzzle levels, some are creative, others rely on trial and error ❌Lack of basic options, such as windowed mode or the ability to change control keys ❌The dual pixel control mechanics are not fully utilized, in many stages it is enough to control only one ✅✅ Verdict: [strike] Terrible [/strike], [strike] Bad [/strike], [strike] Mediocre [/strike], [strike] Decent [/strike], [b] Good [/b], [strike] Very Good [/strike] (Rating scale for tested game and indie games) [quote]If you'd like to see more of my reviews, you can find them on my curator page: [ur…

The Prism, created by Nikhil. T and Gabriel. H and published by Volens Nolens Games, is a small-scale puzzle-platformer that builds its identity around cooperation, atmosphere, and a quietly unsettling premise. The game places players inside a strange, seemingly sentient structure known as the Prism, where two tiny entities—labeled 02 and 03—must navigate a series of increasingly complex environments to find a way out. Rather than relying on heavy exposition, the game hints at its narrative through tone and presentation, suggesting that the world itself is observing, perhaps even manipulating, the characters. This subtle approach gives the experience a slightly eerie edge, even if it never fully commits to a deeper storyline. The gameplay centers on solving environmental puzzles through movement, timing, and coordination. Each level is constructed around obstacles such as moving platforms, switches, hazards, and spatial challenges that require careful planning to overcome. What makes The Prism stand out is its focus on two-character interaction. In cooperative play, each player controls one entity, and progress depends on synchronizing actions—activating switches for each other, t…

Why make things complicated when you can just shine? The game feels like a child's toy for grown-ups that confuses more than it delights. Could have been better and brighter!
