A solid puzzle platformer without twitch reflexes necessary to finish. Dev has be receptive to ironing out some of the kinks, such as removing the very loud ambient wind sounds.
Neat little puzzle game with a strong premise. Also dirt cheap. Be aware that working through some technical issues could be necessary when you first start it. If that is a deal-breaker for you.
(PS I played more than it says I did because I had been playing in offline mode) [h1] Indirection is a great breath of fresh air for the platformer genre [/h1] The gimmick being you can only move in one direction forces the player to really think about their actions and plan accordingly, if you don't you will suffer the consequences and have to retrace your steps to get back to where you previously were. The puzzles get difficult and creative, I currently have not finished but I passed the first few with ease and then it started to get hard. I am really enjoying my time with this game and for the low price of $1.99 you will too!
I don't normally play puzzle games, but when I do I disappoint myself: 1. I tend to repeat the same strategy over and over again expecting a different result. 2. I forget how movement works. 3. I think about how this applies to my life... do I always go left till someone tells me to go right? Then someone else tells me to go left... Is my life all about going the direction others want me to go? 4. Remembering I can jump. 5. Forgetting how to jump. 5. Wondering about custom workshop stuff. 7. I skipped six. 8. I solve one problem in life, go through an exit door, enter a new problem where I fail 1000s of times before exiting to a new problem. 9. My reflex's are terrible. 10. There's 16 levels and I'm on 3 or 4... I disappoint myself. 7/10 will keep playing Indirection.
Its a pretty clever platformer and I really like its mechanics and snark. Even if I do think some of the puzzle elements need to be communicated better.
A pretty fun cheap platformer, With some better visuals and a bit more variety it could be pretty great
Some jumping may feel a bit janky, and some floors look like they're there, but they're not, but for 1:60 I'm happy
Immersive platform/puzzle game with a captivating world, unique concept, and an experience unlike any other game like it. After getting use to the concept of only being able to go one direction, I feel like this game rewards the dedicated player by slowly introducing mechanics that slowly build off of one another and by the end you're skillful maneuvering through the level without a second thought. Some levels can be quite challenging and frustrating but I think this adds to rewarding feeling the player gets when they finally overcome this fun, indie game. Would definitely recommend this to people who like challenges and unique platforming game design
Love the aesthetic and unique game play!
