  • Summary: Don't Look Back is a short game I made in 2009.Some reviews of the original version:"A perfect example of doing more with less" - The Escapist"Every game with a lead character necessarily has a moral. Every single one. It's just rare that the moral is so uplifting." -Don't Look Back is a short game I made in 2009.Some reviews of the original version:"A perfect example of doing more with less" - The Escapist"Every game with a lead character necessarily has a moral.

    The transition to mobile hasn't been seamless, as the touch controls make it that much trickier, but it's just as elegant a way to tell a story through gameplay as it was three years ago.

    Diehard, mobile-owning Cavanagh fans won't think twice about downloading Don't Look Back, and they're quite right to do so. While we can't help but shudder at the thought of playing the teased VVVVV on mobiles, we'd far rather Cavanagh had a chance to acclimatize to touchscreen controls before embarking on what will likely be his most high-profile mobile endeavor.

    Though it's extremely short, Don't Look Back sports an effective mix of rich atmosphere and pinpoint platforming - and it's free to boot.
