This game was mentioned to me by a friend at work so I had to check it out to see what the hype was about. In Contre Jour (French for 'against daylight' which explains the color scheme) You are little circular character with one eye and what i assume is a cape. Your goal is to get the one eye'd crusader to the blue portal to make it to the next round. You obtain bonus's when you collect all the glowing blue balls before you reach the end portal. What I really like about this game that makes it different then the rest is that you can control the elements. Moving or reshaping the ground you are on and using the objects around you to obtain your goal.
There are different elements that are available for you to use and as you progress through the levels new elements come into play. As you progress through the levels you unlock different worlds with new elements color schemes and backgrounds. Don't let me fool you this game is by far not a simple puzzle game. There are obstacles in the way that will prevent you from reaching the end and making you start over. I played one level for over 30 minutes and had to go to a break and come back to it before i was able to figure it out. (which was actually a lot easier then what i was trying to do for 30 minutes -_-) Overall this game is an easy buy just for its creativity alone. It has 5 worlds with about 20 levels each, which is more then enough to keep you entertained for quite some time.
