An Entire Game About Moving Portals (and Portal Paradoxes) that's kind of overtutorialized

- Unfortunately due to the amount of intro puzzles, the 'paradoxes' part does not seem to appear for a while... I'm just as annoyed as you are about that, lol.
Off-camera I have done like 45 puzzles total, which is half the game, and there is much stuff that is NOT about portal frames (movable blocks, jank physics, buttons and doors) - this video is really more like 'some cool puzzle platformer stuff but frames don't feel like they play that much of a primary role'. I guess comment if you would like more of this series.

In some ways "moving portals" sounds odd, because you do 'move' portals in portal, but that is really more like teleporting to different positions rather than having speed.
Hello and thanks for playing my game.
Although it was already said in the video I want to stress that these are only introductory levels. There is way more complicated stuff going on and the difficulty increases a lot in later levels. I understand the criticism of "overtutorializiation", but Icely Puzzles is confused by some concepts at first, too, and I want Frame to be playable by people who never heard of Portal as well. It's a delicate balancing act to introduce mechanics at the right pace without an all size fits all solution. The game changes later on and the density of "tutorial-levels" decreases significantly.
I also want to address the point that "Thinking with portals is easy." is a pretty bold claim. I'm gonna be honest: it is difficult to get any attention as a small, no-name dev and being cocky is a tempting way to try to do that. I hope I will be forgiven to overstating my case.
I actually enjoyed the "Thinking with portals is easy." a lot because it provides expectation that it will be topped :p
It's just that for me, for the purposes of content I would have liked to see more visually interesting frame-specific stuff.
Not even difficult stuff, but stuff that shows that notable mechanics and structures with frames are possible and acknowledged. So it feels like "the anticipation... when will it come..." for a while lol. Anyway your game's good and I love and appreciate that you made it :)
I feel like you could add a simple "have you played portal 1? What about 2? Mel?" and skipping certain levels based on those answers would be a good solution
Cool game but 12:00 was wrong portals don't effect momentum Glados said it so it would make it just plop out not get speed
@@dvan2399 I don't recall her saying that, and even if she did she's a very unreliable narrator. If you actually think about it, if the portal is moving relative to you that means the world on the other side of the portal is moving relative to you, which is mathematically equivalent to you moving relative to the world on the other side of the portal; speedy thing go in, speedy thing go out
@@dvan2399What GLaDOS actually said is momentum is conserved. What that means is if a cube is moving towards a portal, that cube will be moving at the same speed out of the exit. Regardless of whether it is the cube moving, or the portal, since they would appear identical.
You’re trying to over complicating a very simple puzzle, mostly because you’re looking for an answer and you’re brain is hot-wired for highly complex puzzles with sometimes an obscure answer you wouldn’t have even noticed before and it just makes this very painful to watch.
the buttons moved the block in a different direction because the frame itself was rotated, rotating the axis-es on which the block translates. you can see this from the arrows on the block on the other side of the frame, as they still point in the direction they actually move
This game seems really fun and watching you overthink unity block physics and freak out when the blocks that fall over fall over was very entertaining.
The fact that the portals are double sided and stationary reminds me more of the portals from Antichamber than Portal.
they quickly become not-stationary and not double sided and movable, but yeah I get how it feels like that in the intro levels
this is probably the funniest lore for a puzzle game i've ever seen
Real
This seems to have more in common with antechamber than portal tbh, especially with the weird physics/ perspective tricks they use in the game, which are very similar to the former, rather than the latter, but maybe the game developer hadn't played antechamber before creating this game, so didn't realise how similar they are.
i dont know if im ready to destroy my brain yet
now you're thinking with portals
*"Guys, something is wrong with my portals."*

if three lasers appear, just run. its not worth it
@@dazcarrr Hahaha!
If you have not noticed yet, the E button is supposed to be used on those arcade looking machines on a platform that goes to the side (nvm this is like way before i found out that the E button activates)
"L + You fell + Here's a hint button"
good idea, but needs better UX - better sounds, better visual design, more self-explanatory puzzles
honestly, i accept is as is because the mechanics are simply too interesting ( or they have potential to be) to care about the graphics
graphics are hard, man. Not everyone can make their game look as good as triple a games.
Imagine a door frame flys past you.
You go through it but you don’t gain any momentum. Now imagine that, but the exit of the door is stationary.
THE SAME THING APPLIES TO PORTALS.
I wanna lockpick: chess battle advanced edition
yes
That mall puzzle looks like the opposite of what I'd want in this game. Create a complex interaction with few elements, not a confusing one
I guess this is the second game that Icely isn't good at (the first was Room to Grow)
i feel like this deserves a part 2
This reminds me of an old Phineas and Ferb Unity3d game I loved as a kid
You're the most frustrating person to watch play this because you clearly know what you're doing based on your gameplay but you talk like you don't even understand the basic physics of knocking something over
actually when you knock something 'over', it ends up being beneath its average height, so it should be called knocking something under instead :) :) :)
@@IcelyPuzzleslmao that is most pointless answer ever, i love it
1:18 nah, that thing turned first, probably normal
that one example gif in the store page looks like the traffic light portals from problem sleuth
not to mention the lore about them being super common, having bits about paradoxes when you push them through themselves, and the names being similar (frames + planes)
got dizzy last night. youtube still shows me 3hours ago 776 views
that last store page gif is a problem sleuth reference
Love the style and soundtrack of this
This game is non-Euclidean (Anyone watch Theomonty?), Portal has 4d shit.
It looks like one of these games that explode your brain :)
reality is perspective and motion is reality
Basically portal 3
frame battle advanced
Lol paradox solved it’s a plop
sick vid
15:17 HOW
damn someone beat me to it
One might even call it a "chaning reference" frame
Yay! Ive been following this game for forever lol
i would love to play this game in vr
15:05 😳👉👈
whats the game called
I want more
Quick suggestion: If you want to show the text, maybe don't move the camera. Otherwise, it is very difficult to read, and triggers motion sickness.
