Composition

Composition is a small, abstract exploration game, developed by Time Wraith. You are specifically limited to moving right and when an arrow indicates, moving in the specified direction. The occasional secret passage can be discovered. Graphically, the game is crisp with a minimalistic use of colours to show the differing environments. The soundtrack is short.

Although this was developed as an experiment, the limitations on your movement are annoying nonetheless. In fact, the movement is so limiting that it felt like there was no challenge and therefore, wasn't a proper game. I couldn't help feeling that this could have easily been expanded into a puzzle platformer, using its existing game mechanics and allowing a little more freedom.
