Agent Brain: Tricky Puzzles

A very interesting game with good puzzles, which sometimes you won't guess without prompting, thank you very much for the secrets in the game ))))

[b]6/10[/b] Tricky puzzles usually found in ad-riddled mobile games, plus a story and minus the ads. [b]What is it:[/b] A pseudo-platformer in which the goal is to figure out the trick to getting to the exit. The trick rarely involves actual platforming, but doing something “out of the box”, like [spoiler]going the other way than the usual, pushing a button with the mouse instead of the box, using the lightbulb that usually offers hints[/spoiler], and other things like that. Each level is small, with one trick to figure out, but taken together they tell a story about a secret agent trying to catch a villain, with dungeon exploration, car chases, and a final boss fight (without any actual fighting). On top of that, some of the levels have a secret document that you can grab, so another, more difficult trick to figure out in the level. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3362092544 The tricks are OK, not too out of the ordinary, and if you're familiar with this kind of puzzles you may run through it in less than an hour. Even if you're not familiar, the game is very helpful. In many levels there’s a piece of text already in the level pushing you in the right direction, like “you are already on the right side” or “can you solve it without hints”. You can use two hints, a gentle one that just nudges you in the right direction, and a full description of the solution, although sometimes they are the same if the trick is really simple and there’s no subtle way of hinting at it. Or you can completely skip a level if it’s not something you can do right now. Two levels do involve some precise movement, a little bit of “flappy bird”-like floating, and the boss level has a few tricks, but only ones that you’ve seen before. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3362091966 So, my overall impression? Nice tricky puzzles, fairly logical and not too absurd, but rather easy. The story is quite basic, barely there. Not that much QoL. A little brain twister to enjoy that's not too demanding, but not too rewarding either. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3362089781 [b]How hard is it:[/b] Easy. [b]How long is it:[/b] 55 levels, 1-2 hours, levels can be freely skipped. [b]Level design:[/b] Basic, but the levels are quite distinct and not at all idiotic. [b]Quality:[/b] Meh. Basic level select showing which levels are unlocked and which aren't, with the main issue that you don't know which levels have been skipped. Non-configurable controls, and both mouse and keyboard are required. Just two volume sliders for [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3368329797]settings[/url]. No cloud saving. Decent achievements. A few bugs. Small, fast and responsive, though level transitions take too long for my taste. [b]Worth the price:[/b] On discount. [b]Most positive aspect for me:[/b] Tricky puzzles. [b]Most negative aspect for me:[/b] A few levels are hard to win on the Steam Deck. [b]What would make it better:[/b] Show which levels are completed, skipped, or ready to play in the level select. Support for controllers. More settings. Cloud saving, and a few more achievements. Another chapter with more tricky puzzles. Progress reset.

Cool and enjoyable bite sized levels with creative solutions that use the user interface or even changes outside of the game. And if stuck the game provides a hint, a solution or even an option to skip the level. The secrets are quite harder to find than the level solutions, so I'm glad I could find them guided by nana.

Great puzzle platformer, went through with pleasure.

Подрый платформер на логику, местами нужно подумать

Сначала не понял, а потом как понял - самое точное описание этой игры. Чтобы пройти эту игру , придется пораскинуть мозгами и догадаться о решении каждого уровня ( оно индивидуально ) , лично мне было тяжело понять , что пауза выполняет не только роль паузы)))

Very cool puzzle game me where you will need to show all your dexterity and intelligence passing level by level and solve riddles. The game has an interesting storyline, a lot of interesting game mechanics to play very interesting. Recommended.

Вот это я понимаю, игра из разряда, когда не ты играешь в неё, а она в тебя
