I remember playing games like this all the time on Newgrounds. I think Newgrounds is where this game belongs. It's nice, but its not enough to really make it significantly different from free games on the multitude of websites out there. Update: Just beat the game. My veiw of this game hasnt changed much. The 4th wall is torn down for apparently no reason... and not in any real creative fashion. Honestly, I played more enjoyable games of similar genre on free flash game websites. Pretty disappointed. It isn't even difficult, I was at least expecting that much.

About This Game
This person(?) has the power to swap minds with what appears to be other versions of himself who all see the world in different ways. Where one pair of eyes sees a bottomless pit, another might not. Where one sees a locked door, another sees a key. To change perspective is to change reality!
Combining these "realities" allows him to progress - or to at least do something that resembles progress - however this new found power leaves him deeply confused. Who is he? Why does he have this super power that doesn't make any sense? If he's swapping between bodies which body is really his? Why does he keep having to pick up keys and unlock doors? Where is he going? Is he even going anywhere? Does he even exist? What is he looking for?
The answers to some, all and none of these questions will be probably definitely not be maybe found by playing the game.

I like this little Platformer. You are solving ridles that are not to hard and get through the thoughts of the little men that you push through the levels. In the end with deep mysterious... well don't want to spoil it for you. Even so I did rush through it in only 1 hour and 15 Minutes, I only played the Main-Game so far and there is more, so I think it was definetly worth the few coins I spend. For the game beeing a little short my overall outcome would be: 8/10 - A good game Keep smiling
Fisrt off, this game's ending brought me to the brink of tears and that doesn't happen very often. Another Perspective is a really amazing game and it resonated with me a lot. The puzzles are challenging, but not to the point where it's frustrating and the story is what you make of it. It's captivating and for me, this is the best puzzle based indie game that I've played in a long time. Though short, this really is worth every single cent and more. Seriously, really good game. Really good. So good.
This is quite a charming game. I've known the developer's work for a while but I didn't imagine he would use such a basic concept to make a puzzle game. Besides movement you just switch characters and needs keys, however level design teaches you to use that in several different ways that from your perspective you wouldn't imagine being done. If you like puzzles, this is a must have. Also, the game has the annoying habit of making you care a lot for the characters, and it leaves you wanting to see more of them, although the game stops in the right moment. Worth buying at full price. PS: If you like this kind of game, but wants something more quickly paced, I suggest you play Pause Ahead.
It is difficult, really difficult, to design and implement a game about shifting perspectives and existential issues. To this end, I will say that the price-point is fair. This game has just over two hours of playtime involved, and it's an interesting mini-game of sorts: a Philosophy of Mind novelty item. Would I buy this again? Probably. Would I recommend it? If you're into Philosophy of Mind, decidedly. If you're not, and enjoy puzzle-platformers, this is okay but I doubt it would scratch a major itch.
Another perspective stands as a really good puzzle platformer game. Interesting gameplay, slick, maybe a bit too short (though there is a whole lot of harder challenge to go through if you finish the game as quickly as I did). [spoiler]They tried to achieve some mystery. The trailers actually delivers a good first taste of what to expect ingame.[/spoiler] It doesn't really blow through the roof or anything, but it will give you a good challenge. [spoiler]The storytelling is daunting but feels exagerated. The thriller tone kinda doesn't feel right.[/spoiler] All in all, a good game for a fair price. It's getting rare. [spoiler]Or is it? Could you trust me on that?[/spoiler] It's not the next Braid, but it does a good job itself. [spoiler]Of course not, I recon it is closer to The Bridge but only from the mood perspective.[/spoiler]
The artisticness, style, and flow of Braid, with a mechanic similar to The Swapper. It's all combined with just enough special sauce to make the game feel truly unique, all the while conveying a message entirely its own. The challenge and flow of the game are handled extremely well, allowing it to create a sense of tension or triumph exactly when it wants to. Playing Another Perspective is a very well-crafted experience, which just makes you appreciate its message that much more. I've had more fun with other puzzle platformers, but few have managed to so perfectly balance how much I was thinking about the puzzles with thinking about the big picture of the game (and there was plenty of both!). It's a fairly short game- my first runthrough took just over an hour, but if you're at all a fan of puzzle platformers, this is not one to miss.
Challenging but not overly frustrating. Clever, funny and thought-provoking. Highly enjoyable and well-made.
Another perspective starts out a little slow for my tastes but becomes tricker and tricker as you progress. I could see this potentially becoming a rage game in my case but that isn't to say I wont enjoy it. I find the notes and character endearing and found myself wanting to continue long after I finished recording my video. I would say that if you enjoy puzzle games with a twist then it's certainly one to check out. again my only complaint is the slow build up to the trickier puzzles. other than that. Thumbs up from me. check out my quick look video on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5b3aIUW4cU
i really didn't like it. i'm sorry. slow and boring
