Damn this looks slick.

That looks pretty rad.

This looks awesome considering it's free.

I'm probably the ONLY one that has ever done this back when I was a kid, but I would sometimes imagine Mario running around on/in the lines and cracks in the floor, wall, and ceiling at school. This reminds me of that imagination I had back then. Gotta say, pretty freaking cool. Really hope this gets turned into something!

So where Fez uses 3D perspective in a 2D world, this utilizes a 2D take on a 3D world. Cool.

@cbarnes86: you definitely weren't the only one who did that, trust me!

This looks great. I love perspective puzzles.

frustrating, especially when Jeff is telling Patrick the solution :P

@rubzo: Good! I didn't want to feel like the dumb kid who had nothing better to do than think of Mario 24/7

I cannot watch other people play puzzle games.

This looks fantastic. I love that the 'moving camera' mechanic is tied to FPS controls.

What in the..

The last few weeks have really shown why this site is so awesome. Going from hilarious videos that showcase some of the crazy like Euro Truck simulator to seeing something like this, which likely won't get much mainstream video game coverage. This looks like a very neat concept that could easily be used in more mainstream games and make a real impact.

Good on you Giant Bomb. This looks very intriguing.

They have a derkwad of mirrors on their site.

What's the connection between this and GB though?

Very cool! Valve buy them for Portal 3!!!!

Perspective has been making the rounds among people that look at indie/student level games. It was also talked about on the podcast Idle Thumbs recently. 2/3 of the Idle Thumbs crew are Rodkin and Vanaman who Patrick interviewed extensively for the Walking Dead stuff. Brad also guested on the podcast way way back when. It might not be overtly visible, but they're all probably friends so it makes sense that they would know about the same things. I might be connecting too many dots, but whatever.

EDIT: OR ALSO YOU COULD BE TALKING ABOUT THEIR WEBSITE WHAT IS LIFE OH GOD

Looks neat. But you know i heard that watching someone else play a puzzle game is the most frustrating thing in the world

So this is a more of a platformer than Echochrome? Looks ok.

Holy shit that's cool as hell.

Why do they always put Patrick on puzzle games?

Needs more Vinny, as a matter of fact just put Vinny in on everything I mean he's probably somewhere around the office anyway!

This is very very cool. I would definitely buy a whole game based on this idea.

Damn, awesome stuff. Watching it was 14 minutes full of face palms though. That sort of happens with puzzle-based QLs though.

Phew, Jeff is a huge help in these puzzle QLs.

What you guys are completely wrong! This game is totally Mortal Kombat.

This is awesome. This is why Patrick needs to be on this site. Thank you very much for introducing me to this game. I immediately downloaded after watching the QL and just finished it. There's a lot more game and more challenge there than I first thought!
 
And the ending...!

Watching these guys play puzzle games sometimes just brings out the worst of my infantile rage.

I have been following this for a while and played it at the Digipen area at PAX. Such a great idea and really well executed.

This game looks wild.

It reminds me of when I was in elementary school and imagined patterns on the walls like 2D side scrolling levels. Like brick patterns or the way fixtures stuck out from the ceiling or rafters. Doors were always real hassles because if they were open, they didn't have anything to move across...

But anyway, awesome looking game.

What Is Perspective Dot Com #E3Mysteries

Holy cow! The idea is amazing, love it.

Going from serious gaming talk, to talking about student pizzas... I love Giantbomb!

Mmmmmm student pizzas.

Also Chris Remo works at Double Fine, who are practically the official game developer of GiantBomb.

The concept seems cool but all the puzzles they showed seemed super easy, hopefully there's some more interesting stuff later in the game.

Uhh... why would you think Jeff owns it?

It's registered through a private service. Pretty sure it's a user.

There have been enough games with these sorts of mechanics that these puzzles are easy to immediately figure out.

Jeff is good at hints.

Like a few others have said this is awesome. They took the dumb thing I did as a kid and imagine a platformer on the wall and made it into a game.
