pq takes the simple concept of symmetry and transforms it into a short and challenging game designed to bring out the spatial intelligence (or lack thereof) in you.

Spooqs fly across the Netherworld on the topside of the screen, immune and invulnerable. The player can only destroy them through the Peaceful World on the bottom side of the screen. But there's a problem: Spooqs cannot be seen in the Peaceful World. Instead, players have to rely on symmetry to determine the location of Spooqs in the Peaceful World.

Can you save the boy before it's too late?
