But somehow he separates himself from the black emptiness and appears in the world. This is where his long odyssey begins, in which he will learn how to use the colors around him to gain powerful abilities and transform the world. However, his experiences come at a high price. The Void must be one. It seeks to reclaim him and will never stop chasing him, destroying everything in its path along the way. To survive, Born will have to condemn the earth he walks to its inevitable obliteration by The Void...

I read it's some kind of new game plus. What does it add/change? killercow Well-Known Member Apr 8, 2009 3,784 3 38 https://twitter.com/killercow #4 killercow, Jun 26, 2013 One of the finest indie game on iOS. Yup.

Looks great! smes3817 Well-Known Member Oct 15, 2009 1,122 10 38 Massachusetts, USA #8 smes3817, Jun 26, 2013 I always find it odd when a dev opts to put the game free before trying a lower price-point sale first Oh well, either way I'm definitely grabbing this one.

It works very similarly to the dark levels of Super Meat Boy. Each level has its respective Void counterpart that you can access after finishing the game. It's based around the design of the normal level, but with many more enemies and MUCH harder puzzle. Not for the faint of heart, it makes for great replayability. Now all this game needs is widescreen support. I'd love to play through it again but the black bars really bug me.

Bronxsta Well-Known Member Oct 10, 2012 4,698 6 38 http://indiegameenthusiast.blogspot.com/ #16 Bronxsta, Jun 27, 2013 That's awesome. SMB is my favorite XBLA platformer. Remixed levels are the best kind of replay value Bronxsta Well-Known Member Oct 10, 2012 4,698 6 38 http://indiegameenthusiast.blogspot.com/ #17 Bronxsta, Jun 27, 2013 Last edited: Jun 27, 2013 This game is so good. I've barely scratched the surface, but the inventiveness is already surprising me. How many levels are there, anyway? And a question about Void Mode: since it's a new game plus, do you have all your powers even you replay the early levels? chimpman252 Well-Known Member May 8, 2012 538 0 0 Front Staff at Chinese Restaurant #18 chimpman252, Jun 27, 2013 I can't remember exactly, and my save file is long since gone. But I believe yes you do retain your powers. Not that it really matters: puzzles for a certain world are based on the powers gained up to that point. I am aware of one secret however that requires a power gained later on. _Max_ Well-Known Member Apr 19, 2012 1,500 0 0 #19 _Max_, Jun 27, 2013 Got this a long time ago, it's definitely a good game SumoSplash Well-Known Member Sep 27, 2011 2,123 0 36 Playing iOS games, duh. Pennsylvania, U.S. #20 SumoSplash, Jun 27, 2013 Last edited: Jun 27, 2013 You know, I've done some stupid things, but putting this game on AppShopper and then completely forgetting about it until now is definitely up there on my list of stupid things. Well, now I have it, and I'll be damned, this is really a neat little game. The story that follows and guides you along while simultaneously demoralizing you is my favorite part. I'm about an hour in, but I forsee an enjoyable experience all the way through. EDIT: A couple things I wish we're different... -The directional arrows are a little too slim. I end up missing them a lot. -I don't like how the game tells you how to do certain things. The ground will turn the color you need to use to advance. I'd rather try it on my own, or at least be able to turn the hints off. "Maybe you are not just an insignificant piece of void." Where is Syntheticvoid at? LOL.
