Brainpipe
Developer and Publisher/Distributor: Digital Eel
Brainpipe is an arcade action experience where you zip along within a curvy tube collecting glyphs and avoiding obstacles. Specifically, as you race, to avoid damage you have to dodge blorbs, posts, cleaners, slicers, twisters, glow worms, and gates. Played from a first-person perspective, you engage in real-time spatial navigation within a gorgeous physical environment that is even available in full widescreen. The eye motif that extends from the elegant menu system to the addictive gameplay is wonderful, including the “iris” you look through as you play — it will open wider and become redder when you collide with dangerous items — to display damage. The sound effects and music are also truly sumptuous. You easily control all of your actions with the mouse, with the left button allowing you to slow down or repair yourself. Beginning relatively calmly, the challenge and intensity escalates as you play until it stretches your reflexes beyond their limits. You get sucked into the mesmerizing setting immediately, and you will not want to blink or turn away for even an instant.

Special polyhedrons and Renaissance art illustrate your magical quest. You get to play through over 50 levels, and along the way you encounter 15 unlockable pickups. You follow clues in the Book of Elements to try to become an expert alchemist, building chains and combos for bonus points. There are three entertaining play modes – Classic, Timed, and Relaxed – to suit the varied preferences of different types of players, and you can conveniently chart your progress on the Alchemist’s Pentagram.
