On one hand, Env isn't actually a game that might wow you. Actually in terms of mechanics and appearance, it feels more like a tech demo than a full fledged game. It's a simple first personal platformer, where you collect green pellets for food and yellow cylinders that allow you to jump higher and farther. You only have to survive a few minutes. Just looking at the mechanics, Env might not seem very impressive.

But in motion, Env is an awesome visual spectacle. An object roams the sky above the purple plain on which you stand, combing the landscape with a beam. And like being thrust into a scene from Inception, the world beings to erupt and crumple. Ridges and fissures open up beneath you. Cracks tear across the ground. Blocks burst into the air, suspended off-kilter. It's truly a sight to see and is just incredible fun to platform around this world as it gets blown apart. Give Env a try, if just for the impressive artful destruction. You can download the game here.
