Parallax

It's a puzzle game with portals that allow you to traverse interdimensionally between two similar, yet different, dimensions. There doesn't appear to be any resemblance of plot or story. There are 4 chapters, with 8 levels each. I must admit some of the levels were very confusing, and I had to look at a guide to solve them.

m.c. escher's personal spin on portal, with a bit of selective euclidean spice thrown in to make it its own game. while the comparisons to antichamber are obvious, parallax's development in fact started in 2008, though it wasn't released for a while as it was only a school project. so that's more of a simultaneous development sort of thing, like calculus. (citation: personal interview with developer) a must play for anyone that's into the portal-like genre. length is a few hours, soundtrack is decent, and there's a healthy amount of content. there's not really a story, but it does a good job of gradually introducing content until you get a mind-bending four-dimensional sludge of trippy puzzle solving. (i mean this as a good thing.) one downside: most of the puzzles seem to have a linear solution and there isn't much room for thinking outside the box. a parallax 2 with a larger scope and a greater emphasis on storytelling and scenic variety, portal 2 style, would be absolutely badass, and i hope to see one sometime. as it is, parallax isn't forgettable but is still basking in potential.

Nice, little puzzle game. Two worlds, black and white, that are quite different yet intrinsically connected to one another. One must travel in-between those two in order to solve the puzzles.

the weird noise you hear while playing this might be the sound of your brain cracking.

dual colored schemes cool ngl

Ogólnie grę polecam jak komuś się nudzi. Bardzo fajnie zrobione poziomy jak i sama gra.
