And Yet it Moves

From School Notebook to Published Game: And Yet it Moves

And Yet It Moves is a unique game on a few levels. In order to progress through the game, the player must turn the world clockwise or counterclockwise in 90 degree intervals. The environment was made to look like a collage ripped out of paper. And perhaps most unique of all, this ground-breaking game began as a class project, now published on Steam.
