Fast and puzzly, cannot go wrong with it.

Programming in Reverse
I was initially skeptical of Faraway as while I had heard good things about the game, I am generally not one to take things at face value and prefer to form my own opinions on games. I was fortunate enough to get this as part of the rewards I earned from the Discord Channel and I have to say that I was amazed how fun this simple little game was. It twists my brain every time I play as I expect it to score left to right as most games do, but the reverse occurs every time (right to left) and I still find myself caught out by the brilliant design that reveals itself.
There's a significant depth to this little game and it's a fantastic addition to any collection, not only due to it's small size, but also due to the fast play of the experience. Highly recommend!
