ThruSpace, known in Europe as ThruSpace: High Velocity 3D Puzzle and in Japan as Surinuke Anatōsu (すりぬけアナトウス), is a 2010 puzzle video game developed by Japanese studio Keys Factory and published by Nintendo for the Wii. It was released on the WiiWare service. Players play as a block known as a "Keydron", and use the Wii Remote to rotate the Keydron so it will fit in gaps in walls that approach it.[1]
Gameplay
[edit]Playing as a Keydron, players must rotate the Wii Remote to rotate the Keydron so it will fit in gaps that approach the player. There are multiple difficulty levels, each one changing Keydron to become more complex shapes. Occasionally, crystals appear in gaps in the wall, which will give the player bonus points when collected. Players play for a high score.[1]
