With the release of Portal eminent, I took a quick look at the game that spawned the idea, Narbacular Drop. Ridiculous name aside, this game is based on the concept of using portals. You have the ability to create a pair of portals, which can be entered in either direction, to solve the puzzles and move forward. Even though this isn’t much more than a game demo, I had a real hard time wrapping my brain around it. I don’t know that I’m fully able grasp the physics of a portal system just yet.

Get it here if you’re brave and you like free things.
