in a window

in a window is a puzzle platform game with a very simple objective  : push the red button.

simple enough… right?

in a window is a game about assumptions, the way things work, the way things should work and the way those things can work together to hide even blatantly obvious solutions.  or are the solutions hidden?  i guess that will really be up to you.

in a window is free.  you should download it now.

if you can make a puzzle platformer that has me stumped, giggling, as well as feeling stupid and smart, then you’ve clearly done something right.
