freerunning

The premise of Refunct is deceptively simple. You simply have to travel onto every platform in the world. This involves the player having to traverse across a variety of different obstacles to reach these platforms. In essence, it is a freerunning experience that tests your ability to learn and experiment as you play along, climbing walls and leaping over gaps. Other than that there is almost nothing else to distract from the end goal of reaching the final platform. There is no story or dialogue and even the world itself starts completely bare. New platforms only emerge as you travel throughout the level and press the appropriate buttons to bring them out of the water. It is a strange minimalist design that lends itself to inviting the player to get on with the task at hand. Perhaps the greatest strength of the entire game is the way that it teaches you new skills and concepts. There is no tutorial or text box to explain how to reach a new area.
