Phi is a badly made school project. Ostensibly the students set out to make a kind of "Snake meets Pong" game where you control a blobby worm thing that bounces and slides along walls and surfaces on various 2D maps. The students describe the "game" as "meditative", which is certainly a good result of quality game development training rule #1: If you have a bad game, you need a lot of spin doctoring if you're going to move units. While this is free, understandable for a school project, it's bad... I'm not sure if the students passed. Locked resolution and minimalist 2D "art" used instead of modern 3D PC graphics push this below acceptable standards for PC, so it's unclear what the school is teaching students, but it's certainly not good game design practices. Also, and here's the big one... it doesn't work. The default controls are "W, A and D", and they're unresponsive. Changing the controls makes no difference. As a result, without working input, the game can't be played, you can just watch the worm blob thing bounce around ineffectively without player guidance. It's unfortunate the students failed this year (and presumably their penalty for failing was to pay $100 and list their fail grade school project on Steam). Hopefully they will get a chance to repeat the class, and maybe even get a passing grade next time by producing a game that works.
