    It's still not Thursday, but we're getting a free game on Epic anyway.
    Which free game? THIS free game!

    This game is a puzzle platformer, somewhat akin to
    "Superliminal" with maybe a touch of "Monument Valley"
    thrown in; take pictures of the landscape, then rotate
    the pic to form new platforms. A neat mechanic but I sort
    of tire of all these puzzle games because --once you get
    past the gimmick-- it's still just the usual running-n-
    jumping. But it might be worth at least giving it a try.


    It won't be Thursday tomorrow either, but there will be a new free
    game then, so grab this one quick before its gone.

    It looks pretty, but I don't know if I wouldn't play literally any other
    game on my list.

    I grabbed it because after I looked at it for a bit it didn't look as
    stupid as I first thought. Then you had to mention the four letter
    word J**P! Now I doubt I will play it. :-)

    Thanks Spalls!

    I took it since it had high ratings and an interesting idea. Will I ever play it? Who knows.

    Same. Only probably won't play it.

    twist is a bit silly
