We are a team of four computer science students, so our team lacked a specialized visual game artist. Why the decision to go with a paper-like art style? That's also what we are most proud of: that we could combine a focused and refined gameplay with a unique look. Still, if the gameplay was boring people would stop playing it quite soon, so it's the art style that makes people play the game and the varied gameplay that keeps them interested in it. People start playing And Yet It Moves because it looks different to other games. We soon realized though that it's the look and feel of our game that draws people in, and that most people are interested in in the first place. We always liked to think that the unique selling point of And Yet It Moves is its core mechanic of being able to rotate the world by 90 degrees intervals and the gameplay we have build around it. What's the main triumph of And It Yet It Moves for you - its puzzle system, its art style, the music, what.? Soon afterwards, a prototype of AYIM became the 2007 Independent Games Festival Student Showcase Winner, so this commercial version is, quietly, a highly anticipated game.īeneath the jump, Felix explains the thinking behind the game, why it's been so long coming, and why the physics-based platformer is a genre so weirdly beloved by indie developers.
We'll have some impressions up on the site soon, but before that we had a chat with developer Broken Rules' Project Lead Felix Bohastch, one of the masterminds behind a game that began life as a project at the Vienna University of Technology.
#Buy and yet it moves full
We ran a brief story about inventive, long-in-the-making indie puzzle-platformer And Yet It Moves a little while back, and since then the full game's been released. Good Friday does, of course, mean one thing: rotating abstract 2D worlds to aid the progress of a crazy-haired man made of paper.
