I suppose this might not need its own thread, but I just finished it. It's described by some as being like Portal, but it's really nothing like Portal other than that you someone constantly lying to you. It gets VERY tricky in the end. I ended up looking up a solution to the final puzzle: SPOLIER!No, really.Throw a spike. Really need help?Throw a spike while jumping forward to desynchronize your twin from you and make him jump in the pit.

It's a short game, but it's clever. Definitely worth a try.

Played this last night when some webcomic plugged it on their front page. It was pretty entertaining, and had a couple clever moments. That ending puzzle can go fuck itself though, because it's SOOOOO easy to screw it up.

It was okay. I've seen better mind-screw games out there. In spite of all the lying it was oddly consistent.

I beat it by accident. I looked myself in the eye, swallowed any doubt and negative feeling, and just jumped for it. Without throwing anything.

Oooh yeah.

I played it yesterday on Kongregate. It was pretty interesting, and I got both endings. Because there's apparently two according to Kongregate? Don't know about Newgrounds.

Yes. There's a "bad ending," but the game just plops you back in an infinite loop until you get the good ending.

This game was actually pretty easy since all you had to do was the opposite of what the guy says...no matter what. Nice intuitive puzzler overall.

Except for when you don't.

Thinking in opposites is its own challenge, anyway. There's more than one way things can be opposite and figuring out which way is half the fun.

I'm rather proud I completed the game without any help. And yeah it's fun. My favorite/hatiest part is when the level itself lies to you, and the actual platforms you have to jump have no relation to what you see.

The game really takes the concept of lying to a new level I think.
