Warp Time With 4-D Platforming in 'Stream'

For gamers, getting lost isn't something to fear, as the thrill of discovering and escaping from unknown lands is integral to some of our most cherished gaming experiences. ('Myst,' anyone?) This week, we'll lose ourselves in five games that delve fearlessly into the unfamiliar.

'Stream' is possibly the world's first four-dimensional platformer, utilizing time as a key component in addition to its more traditional 3-D action. The game takes place in a world rendered in hazy charcoal, filled with various rooms that possess a variety of platforming challenges. But these platforms aren't your standard immobile blocks. In 'Stream', almost every level's components are constantly moving, and must be tamed using your ability to pause, fast forward, and reverse time. 'Stream' requires the Unity Web Player, and is playable now on Kongregate.
