A hilarious and loving tribute to the games of Matthew Smith, Horace is a beautifully imagined reinvention of the platform games of yore. At first the gameplay seems relatively simple, buoyed perhaps by the retro art style, but soon it expands into a mind bending, gravity defying puzzler of trouser-straining proportions. There's a sweet and touching story in here too, so part of its charm is keeping you coming back to find out what happens next to our little robot hero and his family. Exquisite.
