Indie Intermission – ‘Lens’ Through The Looking Glass

Today’s game is a much longer experience that most of the games I bring you here, but with it being Friday this should see you well into the weekend which is always good.

Today’s game is Lens which was created as a student project. The group developing Lens contains over 20 different members, although Jason Judd Roth is the mastermind behind the idea.

Lens uses a unique world blending mechanic that allows you to look through the looking glass into another dimension which allows you to move objects between the two dimensions.

The concept is great and creates many unique puzzles that can be rather mind bending at times but overall they make for one interesting game. Considering the game is free the graphics are outstanding and paint two different rich, beautiful worlds that come together seamlessly.

Although the lens itself can get a little in the way from time to time overall the mechanics are solid and the ideas put into Lens actually help make it one hell of a game.

Average play time – 1 hour

In its current state Lens offers a fascinating multi-dimensional experience that brings about some new and exciting concepts I have rarely seen used before. Lens proves puzzle games can still be innovative and I hope the team continue to work and improve upon their already solid foundations.

Lens can be downloaded from the Official Websiteand if you would like to find out more about the team and the game their website holds all the answers.
