140-word Review

Imagine a world of only two dimensions: length and height. Color that world with neon shades, sharp geometric landscapes and bind it together with minimalistic tech-house music. A world of stark beauty and remarkable simplicity; the player exists as a transforming piece of geometry - a square, triangle and circle altogether.

The geography of this flatland is not inert though. Environments comes to life in synergy with the music - music that is dependent on the player's progress in each of the three vistas. Can't make that jump? Well, the backing-track is probably missing an instrument; escorting a mysterious, floating orb to a docking station will add it to the soundtrack. Obstacles that were previously laying stubbornly static will come to life, rhythmically shifting all the way.

Glide, jump, roll, and shoot - 140 is an auditory and visual delicacy.
