CTR Review
This innovative, beautifully illustrated and designed fiction app lets you navigate through a bitter-sweet story by placing markers in various locations on the screen.

To move forward, you shift chunks of the landscapes -- displayed using a parallax illustration style -- to form bridges. This requires problem solving and planning. You may have to find an alternative path around a waterfall, or coax some sheep out of the way. The space relationships in this app are subtle and interesting, and they are expertly woven into the narrative elements. But the end goal -- to help an old man through his journey through a lifetime of memories, is worth the effort. Created in Austria by Felix Bohatsch, Clemens Scott and others of Broken Rules. Demonstrated at Dust or Magic AppCamp 17 as a "nice touch" by Lance Harris. Caution -- if you're really an old man, this story will make you cry.
