The Janus Problem

Very good puzzle game for a single dev! The game is actually pretty good, a bit of portal and a bit of C.U.B.E. I can already see a bit of speedrunning in this games future!

I had the pleasure of playtesting this game pre-release and thoroughly enjoyed it! It's a fresh and inspired take on a portal-style puzzle game, and the time-checkpoint mechanic is unique and fun. The difficulty curve is challenging but not unreasonably so. My only complaint is that there aren't even more levels, but the length is excellent for the price, and offers plenty of replayability, especially if you're into speedrunning.

The Janus Problem is engaging, challenging and fun. I headed into this thinking "Oh, I'm good at puzzles. This shouldn't be too bad"... fast forward 30 minutes later and I've unknowingly trapped myself for the 3rd time because of my apparent poor sequencing abilities. This game is challenging but super enjoyable. It is built so that players utilize skills they've learned in previous levels as they advance forwards. It's extremely rewarding to get through each phase and use each new skills effectively. Put shortly, this game is just shy of genius. Did it make me want to (respectfully) throw my computer across the room at times? Yea, sure. But that's the fun of it. The reward is so much greater when you have to really work at it.
