AYIM is a cool indie platformer with 2 unique twists: the 1st (and most significant) is the main game mechanic - the ability to rotate the world around your character in increments of 90 degrees; the 2nd is the way it looks - the environment is rendered in an artistic paper-cutout (literally) style. Both of these things add up to an experience unlike any other. That said, your goal is still similar to many other 2D platformers - get from one end of the level to the other - so the game is both familiar and fresh at the same time. At 4 chapters (plus 5 bonus epilogue levels), the experience is also just the right length. The difficulty ramps up nicely from beginning to end, and is usually fair (the exception would be the final bonus levels, which are excruciatingly hard, but since they are optional, that's ok). My only minor issue is the occasional wonkiness of jumping and the seemingly random height drops that cause death. That said, it's still well worth playing for platforming fans!
