Description
Blink is a second-person 2D puzzle platformer where you see through the perspective of an ancient being. When it closes its eyes, you enter into a world of after-images where you can walk on light. Overcome obstacles and solve puzzles by manipulating lights and blinking between worlds. Explore hand drawn landscapes while uncovering the secrets behind this strange power.
History
Ryan Sligh and Loic Ferdinandi met at Southern Methodist University down in Texas and decided to start working on a game idea Ryan had been sitting on for a while. Blink was supposed to take “4 months tops”, but 3 years later, Blink had become a full-fledged game through process of steady scope creep.

- Explore underground ruins, ancient towers, floating cities, and more!
