Don't Look Back



Don't Look Back was released last week. It's a brilliant minimal atmospheric platformer done in 8-bit color and with a beautiful soundtrack. It's a dark story told entirely through gameplay but I don't want to spoil any of it. If you're into platformers at all it's a 5 to 10 minute game that flows almost perfectly.

Terry Cavanagh is quickly becoming one of my favorite auteurs -- he released Pathways just last month. He's a game designer who knows art and fun.

I'd kill to have the tools to even be able to prototype this quickly. By the way, I should have my second prototype and the second version of my framework done soon.
