About Orthoxia Alpha:
orthoxia Alpha is a story about a frog that wanted to achieve big things. it’s a simple but fun platformer where you can turn the level around with the tab key, switching between various viewpoints and 2d and isometric perspectives. the 30 levels take about an hour or so to complete and continue introducing new mechanics at a steady pace. there are buttons, elevators, rotatable parts, etc. and also notes to reach and read to provide some narrative. for a platformer, it’s very forgiving, if you fall, you just appear again at the same place, and there are no timers, though while standing on buttons, they keep getting pressed and doing whatever they do, that needs some getting used to. controlling the frog is a bit wonky at times as well, especially from an isometric angle. as a puzzler, it’s on the easier side, though perspective manipulation always provides extra challenges, and I found a few levels trickier than the rest, but nothing too difficult. the unity launcher is disabled and there are no resolution options or windowed mode in-game either, but separate volume sliders are available to keep the pleasant music and non-annoying sound effects under control. This is a nice light puzzler that does its job. I found myself solving these puzzles at a decent pace. They are not difficult but they force me to do some thinking. It is worth the price and might be a welcome break from the massive triple A games that we love so much.
