A lot of obstacles like this will be beaten through simple trial and error since there is no real penalty from death other than returning to your previous check point which there are ample amounts of. You’ll hit a few tiny snags that will be easily conquered with a simple rotate/jump combination. The first few check points in the first chapter are very simple with no real puzzles to block your progression.

You’re helpfully guided through the basic mechanics via a series of well placed signs giving tips on the control schemes and how to use the game’s physics to your advantage. This fits in perfectly with the hand made collage motif of the graphics. For instance the sound of your paper man falling to his death and smashing into several pieces sounds like a person saying “Squash”. The sound effects sound like they are all done via a human voice. It’s more or less just repetitive sounds that begin to slowly layer as you progress through the chapters but never quite reaching the status of a song. The music, and I’m not even sure I can call it that, is extremely subtle and has a very stark creepy feeling to it. I would go as far as saying that if it were done any other way it would feel remarkably out of place.

I can’t really say enough about the sound design on this game - I really can’t. To top it off the animations of your character’s movement feel fluid with plenty of ambient background animations to boot. The theme is ripped out and crumpled paper that is layered to create a lush world of simplistic beauty creating real life objects from pieces of their pictures.

Traditionally our videogames are full of complex and busy graphics, but this game is the exact opposite that without sacrificing a thing. The visual look of the game immediately draws your interest and evokes a different mindset. There are so many things that are interesting about And Yet It Moves that it’s almost impossible to know where to start. This is what makes it a unique experience forcing you to look at the puzzles laid before you in a different light. Your paper man has the ability to rotate the world at 90 or 180 degrees at a time in any two dimensional direction. In order to bypass certain obstacles in your way, you have to use the primary mechanic of rotating the world around. The actual gameplay mechanics of And Yet It Moves are what add a higher level of complexity that a normal side-scrolling platformer would not be able to achieve. You are to move your paper man character through the world successfully by any means possible. The overall premise of the game is remarkably simple. It is a prime example of what indie developers can do and further validates this sub-genre of the videogame industry.


It’s not often that you trip over a game that you might have overlooked otherwise and end up discovering something that surprises you in the best ways possible.
