Four Sided Fantasy is a game about pushing the limits of the screen. Discover a strange world where a man and woman journey through four seasons in a year, constantly separated by the boundaries of the screen. In this game, you can wrap from one side of the screen to the other, so that running to the right lets you emerge on the left, and falling down a pit lets you fall from the sky. Each new season in the game brings a new twist to screen wrap. Just as you think you’ve mastered a screen wrap mechanic, the world will change its rules and present a new way for you to look at the confines of your screen.

Awesome indie game. Clearly took inspiration from Braid in their art style, but beware that this game is much shorter, and there is not much story.
Puzzles are very doable, and levels are short. Each level has its own mechanics that are easy to understand. There are a couple of "What the hell is happening" moments in a good and fun sense.
The ending and credits scenes are top-notch. So be sure to stick around for that.

Interesting. I think this is the first puzzle game where I really questioned if I actually solved the puzzle correctly. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the mechanics of this game and art style isn't bad. But there seems to be...a tendency to feel buggy. I managed an entire playthrough with only a few eyebrow raising "was that a bug or an intended mechanic" moments...except at the end when I got softlocked (I think?) during my New Game+ playthrough. Except somehow I already got the New Game+ Completion cheevo after only beating normal NG. (Being a good sport and actually wanting to see what changed in the NG+ mode, I did try to play that anyway. But after the softlock I just watched a video of the part I didn't get to.) Sooo...yeah, this is still a good game in the "Artsy Puzzle Game" genre and it definitely has that "Meta-Puzzle Mechanics" flavor I got a taste of (and addiction to) when I first played Crush on the PSP, but be a bit careful how you play it, I guess?

I assure you, I am not the typical audience for this game. I generally dislike puzzle games and often find puzzle platformers to be the laziest type of game a developer can produce. However, this puzzle platformer was a masterpiece. I enjoyed it from start to finish. The puzzles were perfectly balanced in difficulty, the art was beautiful, and the game mechanics were fresh and exciting. Each one felt right in place and never overstayed its welcome. Every world introduced a unique twist that kept me engaged and ensured I never got bored. Each new mechanic was taught in an intuitive way, even though it was unlike anything I'd ever seen before. This game is a solid 10/10.

A puzzle platformer where you can freeze the screen and loop. If you go through the right side, then you will appear on the left. If you fall through a hole, you will drop from the sky. Each world adds another gimmick to the puzzles, so it is always engaging.
On the downside, it costs $13 Canadian and I was able to beat it in under 2 hours and that was with my computer rebooting in the middle of the game, twice. Don’t worry, it’s not the game’s fault.
Then again, as I’ve said in the past, I would rather play a game that was too short than deal with a game that takes too long to get going or one that outlasts its stay. If the price is an issue, wait for a sale. I got it as part of a charity bundle, but I’ve also seen it on Steam at a very steep discount.

The premise is at least rare if not completely original. The CRT/VCR effects have been seen before but here, there is a surprising amount of polish and attention to detail. The first time I paused the game, I resumed and paused it again a few time.. Yes, The game is simple, short, varies very little. It is, in essence a puzzle game.
Also: the only replay value happens you look at it in your steam library months after your first playthrou---
Hey there's that: as long as you don't have prior engagements, when you boot this game up, you will finish it in one sitting. Your first play-through will take about and hour and a half and you'll finish the game. It's paced really well for a short game and the director/developer did a great job of giving you a chance to drink in the visuals before having to solve another puzzle. It's a nice bite-sized chuck of pure satisfaction. And months later, on account of its originality, you only vaguely remember what made it so fun. Then... you get to experience it again. I highly recommend playing it once and uninstalling it. Forget about it. It will wow you again in some future bout of bordom. I've loved it twice now.

Fun little quick came, but also quite frustrating at times. Saves at spots that really don't make sense, no cloud saves, and several bugs, especially towards the later part of the game that break it, requiring you to restart - but due to the odd saving, may make you replay areas you didn't want to.

An interesting concept but quite a quick and easy game. Not worth full price, deffo wait for a sale.
