Another Perspective Reviews

Great puzzle platformer with relaxing music and a focus on switching characters to view the level in Another Perspective to help solve each level. Some puzzles are mind-numbing and requires thinking outside the box. The main game is rather short and can be completed in under 2 hours. Mystery mode adds even harder puzzles that will test you and after completion unlocks the games true ending. [8/10]

Oh My God! I thought I was a cheap skate buying games only when they are under $15 US. (And I'm in Australia we pay allot more) Comments like don't buy this game unless it's on sale??? GET REAL. Shaun has been an inspiration to many game developers of indie games, from his early work doing tutorials for game maker up until he recently finally got acknowledged for his work and offered a job at YoYo Games. AP is an awesome show of puzzle strategy and pure genius along with Shaun’s typical sense of humour and great ambience with lighting and music. This makes me want to try harder with my mod and game design to bring more feeling to my work. 11/10 would definitely fall off the edge to end the credits again. PS 6 bucks US, just don’t buy a burger and fries for one day! And lose weight while having fun.

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.

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]

I watched a few of Shaun's GMS tutorials and popped over here to support his work. This is a quick and fun little puzzle game. A neat concept. Not too challenging, but still makes you think.

Simple game with good puzzles that gave me satisfaction solving. I felt the game could be longer but it's good for the price. I wasn't so much of a fan of story, it felt like rambling at times and I felt there were many levels where the whole purpose was to add filler for the story. But, those levels were easy and quick to go through so it isn't a big deal.

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.

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.

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
