[quote name="Commander Tansin A. Darcos"]The game <i><a href="http://www.addictinggames.com/action-games/noitcelfer-game.jsp">noitcelfeR</a></i> provides a "cross the maze" game sort of like a combination of <a href="http://www.linerider.com">Line Rider</a> meets the game by We Create Stuff, "<a href="http://armorgames.com/play/107/">Portal The Flash Version</a>" which is a 2d version inspired by Valve's 3D <i>Portal</i>. In <i>noitcelfeR</i> you have a set of spaces that you have to cross from the left side of the screen to the right, which may be flat space, or may be deadly, including a moving or stationary enemy NPC or spikes; the spikes can point up or to the right or left. There is a "water" or mirror area below the level that reflects the maze back, and some spaces are visible above the water, and some are only visible on the water. And some are invisible. You have to jump, and climb, and sometimes double jump. It's not as easy as it looks, and while you can kill the enemy by if you land on top of it, if you otherwise touch it or touch the spikes, you die, but fortunately there is an unlimited number of lives, and, unlike the ridiculous parody game <i>I Want To Be the Guy</i>, dying starts you over at the current level, not all over again at level 1. Each game, as you get into it more deeply, gives hints on how to play or things to watch for (or <i>look out</i> for.) An interesting feature, which I have not had the chance to try, is the ability to build your own levels, including all of the things in the game, horizontal or vertical spikes, the enemy NPC, climb floors, blocks only invisible in the water or mirror area, and invisible blocks. So check it out, <i>noitcelfeR</i> at the first reference in this article or at <a href="http://www.addictinggames.com/action-games/noitcelfer-game.jsp">http://www.addictinggames.com/action-games/noitcelfer-game.jsp</a>.[/quote]
