Our take on TorqueL
The chamber-and-route structure gives TorqueL a defined set of spaces to work through, but that focus leaves less room for the broad exploration found in games built around a continuous world.
What is TorqueL?
TorqueL is a 2D action-puzzle platformer centered on two movement ideas: rolling and extending.
Its structure contains 50 chambers, seven basic routes, and one secret route. Progress involves navigating these chamber-based paths with the game’s rolling and extending mechanics. The product version includes interactive music composed by sanodg, also known as Nobuyoshi Sano. An Xbox 360 gamepad is recommended for play. The listing also notes a Windows 10 and Xbox One Controller issue fixed through the Anniversary Update and a renewed pre-installed driver.
