Game Information:
Title: The Plan
Developer: Krillbite Studio
Publisher: Krillbite Studio
Platforms: Microsoft Windows (PC), Linux, Mac.
Release Date: 10 February 2013
Genres: Casual, Free to Play, Indie



Synopsis:
A fly ascends to the skies, pondering the pointlessness of its brief existence.
The Plan was developed as a side project by Krillbite Studio, who's currently finishing their main project Among the Sleep.



Gameplay:
When I first started the game, you are greeted from a screen saying Start & Quit. When clicking start you take control of a fly, you are given no instructions or anything like that, which was a bit weird and may be confusing for some. I started using the WASD keys to see what happened; The W key flew me up slowly as of the A and D keys guided me left and right and using the S key slowly drifted me down. As I started flying higher and higher the fly became smaller and smaller, the game was fascinating, just controlling a fly actually makes you realize about the little things in life; the higher you fly the more simple things become a danger, I got stuck into a web and the music suddenly changed dramatically, I broke free of the web and was confused, the game features gusts of wind blowing the fly away and leafs falling from the sky that can land on you and slow your path towards the heavens. I'm not going to give spoilers what happened next, just please play the game and experience it yourself, because the game feels unique and I have never played a game like it, I feel that the indie developers have achieved what they wanted, the game definitely makes you think about the little things in life. The sound track in the game was amazing and just added into the depths of the gameplay and it made me zone out. The game has very beautiful slow music that is relaxing and calming but when you get stuck in a web or a trap the music changes into a orchestra type sound you hear on movies.
The game can be completed within 6 minutes, and is free to play I recommend you give it a try, I mean it's free it can't hurt to try.



Graphics:
The graphics in this game was really unique and nice, the foreground objects and background objects were faded and when something was close it wasn't, the graphics in this game were very interesting, it had a strange and nice feeling to it, and the game produced some very nice scenes like when you fly into space and you see the starts and nebula's, it's really beautiful, the game gives a trail behind the fly, and the wind was portrayed nicely, if you play the game you can actually experience the graphics because it is very hard to explain the uniqueness of the graphics, I also had no problems with framerates, and the whole game felt solid, I didn't notice any graphical bugs or frame drops, and the textures and models were nice, the game has to be played it is really unique and strange, it's different to anything I have ever played before. The only downside was the graphics didn't have any options to change them or anything like that, but the game is very easy to run and could probably be run on a 90's computer considering the OS. With all that aside the graphics were unique, strange and different and gave an overwhelming feel to it.

Controls:
The controls in this game are very simple, but also weird; the game does not give you any tutorials, or instructions on to play the game which may confuse some, there is no custom button mapping, which can be a downside to the game, other than that the game is very simple and can be played with one hand, all you need is the WASD keys which I will tell you what they do now:
W = Fly up into the skys.
A = Fly left
S = Fly lower
D = Fly right.
So the controls are pretty easy to get used to and can be used by any age, so this game is suitable for anyone you don't have to be amazing on the mouse and keyboard to play this game.
