InterSection

I've played this game for an hour and beat 30/100 levels. In this game, you are playing a puzzle platformer where two different 2D levels are intersecting each other, with you in the middle. While initially fun, this becomes increasingly frustrating as the levels become more and more dependent on swift movement in both planes simultaneously. Thus, levels 25-30 were more about grinding specific movement patterns than thinking about how the puzzle should be solved. Indeed, it was very annoying to see how the puzzle should be solved, but having great difficulty actually executing the solution. Without redesigning all the puzzles, maybe implementing a “bullet time” or similar feature would improve this. The controls are OK but can be disorienting, and there is no way to rebind keys or invert your controls should you wish. The graphics settings are AntiAliasing and Resolution, which annoyingly do not have a dropdown. So going from 720x480 to 1920x1080 takes 29 clicks as you cycle between every single possible screen resolution. The game also only has 2 songs: one for the main menu, and one for every level. That gets old, fast. Finally, the developer hasn’t uploaded art for the new Ste…

DO NOT BUY!!! There's a very old bug preventing players from beating level 23 (out of 100), as per this thread: https://steamcommunity.com/app/416120/discussions/0/135511655654105220/ The game has potential, but this is a major bug that can't be overlooked. --- @DRI: It seems the last update to the game was in 2022, and I've played it this year, so the fixes didn't work for me.

My buddy is a game design major who, on occasion, falls in love with little indie gems enough he gifts them to friends to spread a game to people who would enjoy it but not otherwise see it. This is one of those little gems I never would have seen otherwise. Graphics: What you see on the store page is what you see in the game. The backdrop is minimalist and slightly surreal while providing focus on the puzzle area. Music/Sounds effects: The background music is a relaxing ambient that completely compliments a puzzle game. Controls/Gameplay: The control schematic felt a bit clunky at first but the jump timing was consistent and the intersecting mechanic became easier to use as the puzzles progress. The intersecting mechanic was novel and allowed for enjoyable puzzle solving. Complexity: The game's complexity and puzzle difficulty seems to vary wildly, with some puzzles being immediately apparent and some requiring a few tries to get through so far. Expect to find a few challenging levels that will take you a wee bit of time to overcome. Overall, the game is an enjoyable minimalist puzzle-platformer which involves both motor skills and thinking things through.

My review after playing it, level 75/100: Not recommended: Different levels have very different appeals, and you are required to do both kinds of levels, whether you like them or not. I'd 100% recommend this game if there was a "skip level" button. Disclaimer: I don't like hard execution challenges much; I played through Super Meat Boy and Celeste once, and that's enough for one lifetime. If you like games like those, then this review probably won't apply to you. This is a puzzle platformer where you can walk along two different tracks, with the goal being to stand under a cube on both tracks at once. In the beginning, this is used to move platforms around so you can ascend and whatnot. Later levels introduce more blocks, which give you more movement options. I gave up on level 75 because I couldn't work it out, but I had a lot of fun trying. Ignoring levels 25-30, this game is worth the price. Pros: Decent music (Another review claims that there are only two tracks, but there is more music after level 30). Visual design is good; you can tell what's going on and it looks nice. The puzzles aren't hard until past 70ish, but require thinking in a different way than usual. The first…

Really neat! The central mechanic is intuitive and feels fresh. There’s a little more platforming than I expected, but it’s all integrated in a very smooth way. Recommended!

Fun little unique puzzle game, good for a couple hours over 100 levels. As others mentioned, level 23 is broken, but you can play all the other levels via the level select menu. Towards the middle and the end there are unfortunately a few levels that require precision-platforming, especially level 99, so do be prepared for some frustration having to reset some levels.
