Narcissus is an utterly genius iPad and PC platformer, where each level has two characters: one on each side of the screen. They are reflections of each other: one is facing you, and the other is walking upside down (unless you walk over to the other side of the iPad, where he’ll be facing up). The controls are beautifully simple: tap the top half of the screen to make the top character jump; and the bottom half to make the bottom character jump. Sounds straightforward? It’s anything but.

Thanks to the wonderful level design, each one feels like its own perfectly choreographed masterpiece, with rhythmic taps allowing stunning synchronisation. Sometimes you’ll be tapping both sides of the screen at once, other times you’ll be alternating or discovering patterns. There’s a lot to focus on, and it’s not easy to do so, but when you do work it out you will feel very, very proud of yourself. The game’s coming out soon, and it’s undoubtedly a must-buy.
