Reflex platformer game developed by Black Pants Studio and released in 2016.
Main gameplay idea is nothing new, changing between two modes to reveal or hide two different types of terrain (blue and red blocks) and avoiding hazards based on colors. Many games with similar gameplay themes have been developed since Silhouette Mirage and Ikaruga. However, gameplay in ORT is probably most similar with Super Meat Boy, with compact levels and a miniature character.
Fun to play game with challenging, but fair level designs and responsive controls. ORT is carried a bit much by level design alone, additional variation such as extra boss fights and longer alternative routes would increase replay value. There are hidden rooms with no purpose in the game. All hidden rooms found were explored, but there are probably few missed at least. Tokens need to be collected for checkpoints. All tokens in the first world were saved, but that didn't give any extras so decided not to care about wasting some tokens for checkpoints in the following worlds. Some tokens are found in hidden locations so I did grab those.
00:01:28 Suburbs
00:08:48 City
00:16:56 Mixed Quarters
00:31:08 Mid boss
00:34:40 Factory
00:44:46 Other World
00:53:13 War
01:03:32 Machine
01:15:15 End Boss
