![]() You’ll also be doing a lot of flipping from the top to the bottom of platforms and the interplay of momentum and stiff rotation complicates your maneuvers. You can only rotate the world 90 degrees at a time, for example, which can make some slopes and complex cliffs hard to navigate. AYIM certainly helped pave the way for other world-bending puzzlers that came after it, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the best example of it. This sort of puzzling is bare-bones for 2017 but it was a clever twist on a tired genre back in 2009 when it came out. You’ll encounter a few new gimmicks as you progress as well, including animals that must be fed to pass and breakaway platforms to watch out for. Using this power you’ll saunter up the walls and ceilings of caverns, bend around the edges of cliffs, and navigate boulders and planks through mazes of ledges. ![]() The terrain of each cave or forest or wherever you find yourself is impossible to navigate with just his plodding gait and weak jump so you are empowered to rotate the world around him to proceed. ![]() I don’t think there’s a plot to And Yet It Moves, you’re just trying to get your mop-haired avatar to the exit of each level. It works at what it does, mind you, it’s just that what it does isn’t at all fun. AYIM feels like a platformer built to be the antithesis of platformers, a game that embodies everything that platformers aren’t. I started it up again recently and spent some time getting re-adjusted to the jumping and spinning, but it didn’t take long to refresh my memory on its failings. I punched out of And Yet It Moves after about 20 minutes the first time I played it, and that was so many years ago I couldn’t remember why.
