Frost Review
Posted: 2 weeks ago.
Author: Andy Robertson.
Overview
"Watch countless beautiful creatures emerge from light, bring balance to a world in constant motion, and unravel its mysteries," says the developer of this game. "It's a tender salute to life. An emotional journey through a dreamlike space."
The game uses swarming behaviour found in nature, to create a fluid puzzle that is about the whole as well as the individual elements. For players of all ages it's an unusual and enjoyable experience. For children and teachers there are some additional educational benefits.
