Editorial Review of And Yet It Moves

The typical side-scrolling game puts a character in an underground labyrinth from which he must escape by running, jumping, and solving the occasional puzzle. (Side-scrollers are a class of games where characters generally move from left side of screen to the right to achieve their goals) And Yet It Moves also starts off with a young man trapped in a cavern. Instead of being made out of the usual Lego-like blocks and hackneyed texture mats--so 20th century--the cave is fashioned from crumpled paper.

This game is unique among sidescrollers for another reason: And Yet It Moves makes gravity a key element by allowing you to rotate the world. (That explains the title based on Galileo's defiant, heretical claim that the earth revolves.) A false turn can send our young hero plummeting onto spiked rocks or put him in the trajectory of a falling boulder.

In the second level, solving puzzles requires an understanding of the laws of physics evoked by each turn of the earth. The game is clever in concept and ground-breaking in design.
