140
Review

140 (2013) is a sliding, rolling and jumping game where you control a changing geometric shape to traverse a minimalist world. It's challenging for the timed jumps and reactions but keeps distractions to a minimum with its abstract colorful graphics.

Play is like other platform games, only here you need keen rhythmic awareness to overcome obstacles controlled by an energetic, yet melancholic electronic soundtrack. The world changes in time with the music that both helps and hinders your progress.

The result is a tightly designed platforming puzzle game with striking audiovisual. It's a challenge without the bells and whistles of Mario style games, but with a bucket load of heart and loads of challenge.
