UVSU – Beta Demo

UVSU is a very creative claymation styled puzzle platforming adventure where you play against (and cooperate with) previous versions of yourself.

Currently in development by dietzribi (creator of the excellent Toodee and Topdee), UVSU is an ingenious puzzle platforming adventure set within an interconnected clay world. You can explore the world as in a metroidvania, but to earn keys (which allow you to access new areas), you need to complete clever single-screen puzzles that are played against yourself.

In the puzzles you alternate between playing your good self and different versions of your bad self. Each puzzle is broken up into stages where you control one character and the other character(s) is a recorded previous version of yourself. Your good self needs to reach the goal, while the bad selves need to stop the good self. Do this enough times and you’ll complete the puzzle.

It’s a very clever concept that allows for some very creative puzzle design, which requires you to think forwards and backwards in time as you try to co-operate/beat previous versions of yourself. You are your own worst enemy in UVSU, but you also won’t get far without the other yous. Highly recommended.
