OverviewOverview

Not Not is a puzzle game about following simple instructions in limited time. All you have to do is read the instructions and then direct your character in one of four directions. It sounds simple but the instructions get increasingly convoluted and tricky. You have to quickly figure out the logic of the instructions before time runs out.

In order to decide which direction is correct you have to quickly deduce logical statements. The variations of the logical statements become increasingly complex, while time is ticking down fast.

Not Not has a simplistic but very effective graphical style, with a character on a square and four directions to go. At a later stage, color-dependant instructions are added for extra complexity. The game has several difficulty levels and even an online Multiplayer Versus mode and an endless Challenge mode where you can aim for the high score.
