Don't Look Back

Terry Cavanagh has mastered the mood with the minimum pixels here. With some bold lighting, eery music and clever complexities he's succeeded where so many others have failed. He's made the perfectly weighted game!

It's a platformer that is easy to play; is uncomplicated in plot; is difficult to get through, but is never difficult to work out; is understandable, but never explained; and is almost completely cyclical. It is a pleasure and joy.

Use the arrow keys or WASD to move and the space to fire yo' weapon.

It plays at a really fast pace but you have infinite lives and so you can keep trying something until you work it out. Talking of which, pay attention to the title of the game to work out what not to do once you meet the girl. We can all learn from that.
