A beautiful game about getting lost. I think this is an awesome game and a really interesting change of pace for Ed. It's hard to describe how it makes you feel, but I felt lost and it felt okay to be lost in this world. I really like the physics, dynamic music, and references to Ed's upcoming and past works. Ed says that he wants to revisit Aether someday soon, so I hope we'll finally get the full game or a sequel.

Venture into space! Exploring distant planets and solving their puzzles to change the way the world
views you, become a hero!
Each planet has a puzzle to solve, when you figure out what it is and solve it the planet will regain
color and the screen will flash.
Tips:
- Use the W and S keys to spin all the way around in a circle (A-S-D-W-A).
- Hit P or Esc to pause.
- If you're stuck on a planet,take a break and come back to it later.

Aether is an "Art Game" about personal childhood feelings and experiences. Please keep and open mind
when playing, relax and enjoy the game.
If the game is running slow for you, there is a link on the title screen to a standalone PC/Mac version
that will run a lot faster on slower computers.

space, release the mouse to let go. Keep in mind with enough momentum you can swing all the way around.
it's not hard to solve the puzzle... hard is to find it
anyways
really loved this game as an artwork, truly something made of childhood.
and the music in particular (I SWEAR i heard that tune somewhere- or is it just déjà vu..?). it's calm, distant, slightly creepy, resonating with smth deep inside me - buried, forgotten, but kept there and 'conserved'(canned?) to be not lost
Edmund, where the hell is the sequel to this game? I finished it and I was curious what would happen next, but as far as I know, there is no sequel(
Well, those puzzles and dialogues made zero sense. Still ok.
Finally not gore or crap:D
