But when you take into account the shifts in gameplay from top-down adventure, to 3D platformer, to side-scroller, to third-person fighter, this seems like a game that could have it all. That in itself is a great premise, especially when each dimension is realised in such a beautiful style. Jot clearly inhabits two worlds, two dimensions if you will, and must shift between them on his quest for… Whatever his goal is. ![]() The comparisons to A Link To The Past again rear their heads. Jot battles on bookcases, but also makes his way across the sides of novelty mugs – again converted to his two dimensional self.
