In recent years, the puzzle-platformer genre has exploded, with a tremendous number of new titles hitting the market, mostly in the downloadable space. The genre isn’t new by any stretch, and throughout our short gaming history, it has seen several bursts of popularity. Games such as
Prince of Persia and
Another World (a.k.a.
Out of This World) led a brief charge that resulted in a number of other developers attempting to replicate this winning formula for their own titles, such as
Blackthorne, with varying degrees of success. The genre appeared to ripe for resurgence after
Portal wowed the gaming public, and
Braid became the surprise hit and beloved darling of indie game fans everywhere.
