The Gate Of The Moon

Game’s mechanics revolve around a unique take on level manipulation. Instead of controlling just your character, you also have control over the very structure of the stage itself. With the press of a button, the screen zooms out, revealing a grid-like layout where each room—identical in size—can be shifted around. However, there’s a catch: rooms can only be moved into adjacent empty space, meaning you can’t simply place them wherever you please. This spatial constraint forms the backbone of the game’s 30 mind-bending levels, where the goal remains the same—grab the key and reach the portal. Adding another layer of complexity is the requirement for room exits to align perfectly. If even a single terrain block is out of place, the border remains sealed, blocking movement. This becomes especially tricky when special destructible blocks come into play. These blocks serve as both a tool and a hazard; they can be walked on and shattered to open up pathways, but once they’re gone, they’re gone for good. Destroying the wrong block can render a stage unsolvable, often forcing players to jump into a deadly trap to reset the stage. Fortunately, there are checkpoints that fix some of the…

This is a cute puzzle+precision platformer, with very nice pixel graphics, good controller physics, and a somewhat novel twist of being able to rearrange the level. When it starts to get challenging it mostly comes from the platforming, not the puzzles. Nonetheless the puzzles definitely add enjoyment and variety to the game and the whole package is very pleasant. Like most precision platformers there are frequent checkpoints, so even when you might die a lot, you don’t have to repeat a whole lot of the stage in order to get back. I did wish for controller support, however with Steam Input it was possible to roll my own that worked as well as native support would have, I suspect. Indeed, using steam input allowed me to fix the rather annoying design choice that the up arrow was used for jumping, so I think that this is the ideal way to play the game.
