The Mind (itch)
About
The mind is a minimalist javascript platformer, that trys to explain the brain and mind in an interesting and unique way. Rather than just blocks of text, the game gives you information about the brain as you progress, meaning that people learn at their own pace, but for every new piece of info. They must work for it, by getting to the next section of the game. I think this is a great way of gamifying a complex topic.
