After a slight diversion with Gorky 17, I went back to play another puzzle game, And Yet It Moves. AYIM is a puzzle platform game. Compared to the last two puzzle games I played, that means it had a little more arcade action. It didn't have the frenzy of a typical arcade game with swarming enemies or time limits. Instead it had a lot of running and jumping but allowed a leisurely pace. The basic controls were pretty standard: run left, run right, and jump. However, there was one notable addition—rotation of the game world. You could rotate the world clockwise or counterclockwise while simultaneously performing other actions. That opened up a lot of interesting possibilities. Similar to other platform games, AYIM was frustrating at times. However, I really enjoyed this one. It never got so frustrating that I wanted to stop playing. It was a bit on the short side, which was fine with me. With so many games yet to play, I don't want too many that demand dozens or even hundreds of hours to complete.
