Indie publisher Seasun Games now offers
Biphase, a 2D platformer intended
to help people understand bipolar disorder, as today is
World Bipolar Day. This is available for free with no in-game purchases for
Windows
on Steam
as well as for
iOS
and
Android.
Biphase is a 2D platform jumping game with exploration and
puzzles as its core. In the game, the user plays the role of someone who has
bipolar disorder, trying to discover and break through the self in an abstract
red and black world.
Each level within the transforming world's controllable platforms and
near-around-corner exit are excellently-conceived, and challenge players'
intelligence and patience. Use the left slider to move horizontally, and tap to
jump and trigger mechanisms.
Developed by a group of students, Biphase is part of a charity programme that
aims to show the life dilemmas of some patients with bipolar disorder and to
comprehend the patients who suffer this illness.
