A platforming evolution that turns the genre upside down. Has its own intriguing and original art style, too.

And Yet It Moves started off as a student project. We were four computer science students and our assignment was to produce a prototype for a 2D game.
We were annoyed by missing out on one dimension, so we wanted to produce something that feels more than 2D, something that enhances the player's abilities in two-dimensional space: A game that gives you power over gravity itself.
And Yet It Moves' main challenge is to understand the physical consequences of rotating the world. This makes planning ahead very difficult and results in a lot of trial and error. Internally we called this process "Learning by Dying". We wanted to make this as easy on the player as possible, so we removed the concept of player lives and Game Over. Additionally, we always respawn the player close to where he ripped apart. This is a game for non-gamers as well as gamers. We tested with a wide range of players and adapted our challenges and level design to reach a smooth and rewarding learning curve.
