Toxic Games' Quick Understanding of Block Execution is a First Person Puzzle game (think Portal, The Ball) built with the UDK (Unreal Engine 3.5) set for a PC Steam exclusive release later this year.

The game began as a student project by 3 game designers with no programming knowledge in 2009 but 8 months ago was turned into an indie game set for a commercial release.

>> The latest trailer can be found here: and it definitely looks interesting. <<

There was a beta/test version released ages ago, but it was removed by Toxic Games because they are preparing a proper demo release. I'm sure you can find it on the Internet, but it must be very outdated so you might want to wait for the official demo. Wink

TWIN PEAKS is "something of a miracle."
"...like nothing else on television."
"a phenomenon."
"A tangled tale of sex, violence, power, junk food..."
"Like Nothing On Earth"

Look very interesting. But they need to fix those annoying hands. I'd rather not see any moving hands than having the character wank all the time...

This game is very good! It doesn't seem to be long (I'm already at 50%), but the puzzles are various and definitely well made. It's basically Portal with cubes, give it a try Smile

The puzzles are well-made and thought-out. The art itself is nothing special since everything is sterile and quadratic. Laughing

Most of them, yes. But there are a few ones that are not that direct to approach and solve.

No story and dialogue. Only puzzles. From start to finish.

I'm finding it a bit more challenging than Portal, I think it's mostly because overall there's more variety in puzzles. Each act has a different "style" and obviously different gameplay

I've played it a bit, I think it'll be one of the best games I've played this year!

What the hell happened in 2010-2011!!, there are so many great indie/from small developers games!!

And no, it's not that the AAA games are becoming bad, I'm not comparing those two; it's the indie games that are becoming SO GOOD Smile Smile Smile

mah updates, give us sequel. this game was fantastic. if they had valve's budget, they would make a portal 2 killer easily. as it is, its a lot better then portal 1, but the production values in portal 2 are just out of its league.

The game was downgraded to 1.2 when they found the 1.3 patch was faulty. They said they'd fix it and rerelease it but they began working on the Mac port and fixing that instead

So 1.2 is the latest version.

"a phenomenon."

This little gem is getting a 2014 console release and PC re-release with Oculus Rift support in the form of a "Director's Cut".

The most important change seems to be they put back the story (as hinted in the original videos / demos) they had practically completely removed from the released game. Additional enhancements include a new soundtrack and of course new puzzles.

Best of all, on Steam it will be released as free DLC for those that already own the game. Yay!
