Yes Erico, and it's a true 80's arcade, simple game and very very adictive...

Pivot by Podbot (Flash/webgame)

An excellent platform puzzle game. :) You have to collect all treasure chests spread out over a grid of 7x7 screens. You can rotate a screen when you're in a platform corner. The catch is that you can only pick up treasure chests when you are aligned with the treasure.

A great game, although I think it's sorely missing an in-game map or radar. It's a little too difficult to navigate the maze without any map (I used this map (http://jayisgames.com/images/PivotMapFinal.jpg)), and all the rotating makes it extra disorientating. Btw you have to collect 49 treasures which is 98%, at first I was wandering aimlessly looking for that last 100% but the last one is located after the exit.

Magnetized, this is a pretty good idea for a one-button game.

Should be possible to work this into a game with GLBasic, maybe with levels where you have to go to an exit while collecting 3 stars, ala Cut The Rope. :)
