Houses of prayer can be divisive institutions, but we can all agree on one thing: they boast some kick-ass stained glass windows. That said, have you ever considered shattering one of those windows? Not out of religious protest, but just for the split-second thrill of watching shards of ruby and emerald glass spray out into the sunlight? Yes? No? You probably won't admit it either way, so why not break some virtual glass guilt-free with Stained? It's an action-platforming game built around an interesting concept, though the final product still needs a bit of polish.
At first glance, Stained's visual style seems to be very reminiscent of Trine. But once you take a deeper look, the similarities start to fade. While it's a 2D platformer, Stained looks to stand out from its competition by creating seemingly random experiences powered by the shattered remains of stained glass.
