Cars. Don't. Need. Clothes.
Additionally, you don't need to be very concerned about staying alive in Soul Brother, a sadistic slice of humorous platforming from newly minted independent developer Jasper Bryne (play it here). Bryne is leaving his post at Frontier Games (Kinectimals, LostWinds) to pursue making video games on his own full-time.
In Soul Brother, you move left to right--it's a platformer, after all. You also jump. Sometimes, you won't be able to reach where you have to go next. To do that, you'll need to die. Throw yourself into the nearest pit of spikes and experience the glory of reincarnation, as well as some newfound powers.
It's weird, appropriately disturbing (the cute aesthetic goes a long way to make you feel unnerved) and won't take you more than a lunch break to play through, unless you want to collect all the secret items.
And hey, if Soul Brother properly indicates what we'll get from solo Bryne, this was a great decision.
