IGP First Look – ‘The Navigator’

This IGP First Look sees us grappling around planets, or dragging heavenly bodies around, with puzzle game The Navigator.

Floating rocks fill the starry sky, and you need to help a young boy make some minor planetary adjustments in order to complete his journey in The Navigator. You can use your grappling hook to move from planet to planet, but the hook only reaches so far. Not only that, but you need to reach the swirling wind in each area to move on, which sometimes requires you shuffle these floating rocks a bit.

Through moving planets and clambering about, you’ll eventually line yourself up with the warp point to move on, but as we find out for ourselves, it’s not always easy to do so.

The Navigator is available for free on Steam.
