Our take on Gordianaut
The bounce point arrives when the game ends: its cave route and puzzle progression are built around roughly 15 minutes of play. Players who need extended experimentation, repeated runs, or a substantial platforming campaign may find the compact structure too limited.
What is Gordianaut?
Gordianaut is a short puzzle platformer set in an alien cave.
Progress depends on manipulating large rectangular surfaces through pushing and pulling mechanics. The game introduces its rules through experimentation and observation, with early puzzles giving way to more complex challenges deeper along the route. Players follow an intricate path through the cave while solving dozens of platforming puzzles built around moving blocks. The complete experience lasts about 15 minutes and is part of the CosmOS 9 bundle, which contains 9 puzzle games discovered on an alien video game console.
