About
"Transpose" is a single-player fantasy platformer VR game offering 10 hours of playtime, set in a universe where time and gravity are manipulated to solve puzzles. Players create and interact with looped recordings of their actions, working with past selves to progress through increasingly complex physics-based challenges in a dreamlike setting. By bending notions of space and time, players must think creatively to generate the infinite cycle of creation and destruction.

- The game features beautiful, surreal environments and a relaxing soundtrack, enhancing the immersive experience and making it visually appealing.
- Puzzles start off easy and progressively become more challenging, providing a satisfying sense of accomplishment as players navigate complex gravity and time manipulation mechanics.
- Clunky controls and issues with the interaction mechanics can lead to frustrating gameplay experiences, particularly when trying to manipulate objects in 3D space.
- Some players found the level design to be confusing, especially after introducing gravity changes, making it difficult to orient themselves within the game world.

“Really interesting VR puzzle game, unique concept, gameplay is intuitive, throwing mechanics work well.”
“Love the puzzle designs and gameplay, definitely a must-have if you're into puzzles.”
“It will definitely have you scratching your head at times and the mechanics of the game are truly unique.”
“The puzzles are a good level of difficulty, but the puzzle mechanics are the same pretty much the whole game; it's only changed up just barely enough to keep it interesting.”
“Hell, you can run a sequence using four lives, then delete the third life in that chain, and that mechanic as a puzzle's solution was never touched upon!”
“The main mechanic isn't a new puzzle idea (both 'The Swapper' and 'Braid' do similar), but the fact you are working with your own past movement and actions in VR is pretty great.”
