InterSection

I don’t think I’ve ever had this much trouble trying to piece together a short description for a game. This one requires a bit of extra work just because it’s that type of game that goes the extra mile.

InterSection is a 2D puzzle platformer that pushes precision gameplay and spatial awareness mechanics as it allows you to freely shift the viewing perspective on two perpendicular worlds that intersect each other in a 3D environment. And somehow I still feel that there’s something I left out.

A memorable game in the making

InterSection started off as a cute and interesting concept during Lundum Dare 30 in the Connected Worlds category. Since then, it has evolved into something truly beautiful that can only get much better.

Dissecting the game, it’s two 2D platformers merged into one. You play the role of a young woman who has to link two worlds, one that is dying and inhabited by her and her kind, and another that is young and could be salvation. From the simple block based visuals to this, InterSection has taken a huge jump into improvement and even though it still feels like it needs more polishing and additional world details, it looks wonderful.

Excellent gameplay concept that is both challenging and rewarding

The gameplay to InterSection is the star attraction. Not only do you have to master two sets of controls, those for the character and perspective manipulation, you also have to be near pinpoint perfect with every move you make. It’s not a difficult to the point of frustration but it will test your platformer skills a great deal.

It’s also a very dynamic game when you have this much to deal with and intense moments are not scarce. When it comes to InterSection the best thing to do is to stop talking about what it is and what you can do in it and recommend that you play the demo.

A game you have to keep a close eye on

InterSection is still in the works, and it still is far from complete. For example, the gameplay is solid as it is but it does need a better soundtrack that can guarantee a more immersive experience.
