Bardzo wciąga :)
Only a quarter way through and my brain is already fried. have played other games like this , but its far and away the hardest of the bunch. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.... Im still gonna give this a thumbs up but Ive thrown in the towel on this one.
A simple idea that builds upon itself to reveal shocking depth and complexity. The hallmark of a good puzzle game, definitely recommended.
Nice relaxing puzzle game, somewhat like the ReThink games. I enjoyed playing it.
For those that care, the game can be controlled entirely with your mouse, although occasionally using second hand to move camera is easier (WASD or arrows, both available). This game is wildly DIFFICULT WITHOUT HINT. Thankfully for those that want or need it, the game have an INCREDIBLY ROBUST HINT SYSTEM. I received this as a Christmas gift from a relative and it was worth whatever the winter sale price was. It's probably worth full price to be honest if you like these types of games. If you use the hint system the game probably won't be that long, and it won't be as satisfying. If you are puzzling it out yourself then I imagine you'll be here for several hours. For those that care, all the achievements are obtainable and can be gotten in 1 playthrough. They are not too difficult.
I started off skeptical as I didn't like what I perceived as clunkiness and didn't really care for the "story" After a while it did start to grow on me as I was really enjoying the puzzles and the interface, which I at first found haughty and janky, I found simple and intuitive once I got the hang of it. I still don't care for the story, it's fluff to justify doing puzzles, so it's of little consequence. What impressed me the most are the systems. In each "room" there are secondary objectives, collectibles, which unlock in-game information and the help system, which is really good. This also provides you with something to do while you're stumped and need a temporary distraction. Even the in-game menus and interface, which seemed overbearing at first glance, I now find please aesthetically and it fits perfectly with the overall style of the whole game. The only thing I wish this game had was the ability to rotate the camera, that would seal it as one of the GOAT puzzle games.
il faut aimer la physique.tres beau jeu
This was an extremely well-crafted, enjoyable puzzle experience that I can't believe I left sitting in my library untouched for so long. There are fun new mechanics with every zone you unlock, the aesthetics are lovely, and most of the sound design is simply perfect (the music is kind of average and more like extended ambient noise than anything, but at least did not negatively stick out). The puzzles themselves were hard enough to be consistently engaging, maybe even bordering on the line of being casual-unfriendly (this isn't bad, just either a warning or an endorsement depending on your personal preference). Honestly I had such a delightful time, I would absolutely add this to a list of must-play puzzle game staples.
super logická hra, ale ještě jsem ji nepokořil
