Game Review : Warp

Warp is a short (30 levels) platformer by Daniel Weldink and Adrian Rypens.  It has marvellously simple and elegant graphics, mostly just black on green with tantalising splashes of red, white and ice-blue.

The object of the game is to move the little character to the glowing white portal (and so on to the next level). The twist is that you may need to 'warp' to do this - and to warp is to walk or fall off the edge of the screen. As Mrs Ferrét often does this anyway she found it a most appealing device! And you also reappear in a flash of light:

...how glamorous! You must avoid spikes on the ground, or you will become a ghost or angel and have to start again (but we liked very much the way that the game restarts immediately), and you need sometimes to interact with objects (pressing the Z key) to make the portal appear.

The music is soothing which is good because Mrs Ferrét became sometimes a little agitated because she kept hitting her head on tree roots when trying to jump (the collision is maybe a little off in places), so the music kept her calm : )
