Kosong Sen: Closure

 

For this weeks Kosong Sen, I’ll try something different that I don’t normally cover. A Flash game. But it’s no ordinary Flash game. This one’s called Closure. Created by Tyler Glaiel and animation/art by Jon Schubbe. Closure is a challenging puzzle game that will require good observation and timing skills.

Closure plays around the mechanic of manipulating light and darkness. You illuminate the path to the exit. If there isn’t enough light you fall off. There are light sources(small light balls) around a level that you must use to get around the level.

 

This simple game mechanic leads to some really devious(and frustrating) puzzles that can challenge hardcore puzzle fans. In the more difficult puzzles timing becomes more important as you need to make your move as certain platforms move the light around the level. My best is just an embarrassing level 10.

The music reminds me of Silent Hill a lot and is decidedly creepy. The art is what I call ‘scribbly art’ something that looks like its been scribbled with a pencil. Due to the uniqueness of its art style and puzzle elements, Closure is a one of a kind puzzle game that is just as good(even better some would say) that any puzzle game on the portable platforms.
