sU and the Quest for meaning
sU and the Quest for meaning is a hardcore platformer where the score is a puzzle.
The experience itself is divided into two distinct parts. On one hand, it offers a gameplay that focuses on quick reflexes and analysis of the environment. It scratches that satisfying itch by offering an experience that is always different: the levels are generated as you move around in them, changing in rhythm with the player. The game simply tasks the player with collecting as many gems as possible, thus reaching a high score that will allow him to unlock new levels.
The other part of the game offers a different experience that is completely opposite: each score of the player is a puzzle in itself. Solving those puzzles is tantamount to reaching the actual end of the game and making sense of the overall experience.
