Music of the Spheres
Available OnMusic of the Spheres is a puzzle-shooter about bouncing bullets, Islamic art, and sound. In it you can fire bullets which bounce, and when they bounce, a specific glockenspiel note is played. That simple premise gives rise to a lot of strategies, and the levels are designed to bring those strategies out. The way they do that is more “puzzle” than “shooter” - the game does not require many reflexes or risks. It just requires thoughtfulness and precision. It is intended express things concisely, and wordlessly - you do not have to be able to speak any language in order to play this game. “There’s a beauty in the apparent simplicity of the design, which like much that is contemplative is far more complex than it first appears. It’s somehow reassuring to play a puzzle game that is entirely disinclined to frustrate, hoping to create mindful, soothing spaces instead.” ~Adam Smith, Rockpapershotgun

@marctenbosch Mkay :) Having said this, it seems probable to me that you've innovated a lot without caring that you have.

@shoinan Yo, I'm thinking of doing another level design analysis, Portal this time. You guys taking feature pitches?

@marctenbosch No come on you've got to say more than this. When you see great breakthroughs in puzzle design, is it not impressive?

So often seems like everything was invented at Bell Labs.

Any plans for a demo? Your game plays really, really well and I'll include it in my next months thread of Indie Games:http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=532236, but usually games with at least a free demo get way more attention.
Any plans for Linux?
If it's commercially successful on Windows, sure!
Nope, I thought of Rise of Endymion.
Did anyone else see this title and immediately think of Doctor Who?
