Кот с яйцами, развивающимися на ветру, ставит на место наглых ворон, роботов и безумных ученых в великолепной метроидвании, где главное оружие - смекалка! 12 котов с яйцами из 10!

很有意思的一个小游戏~玩法很简单,设计也很新颖。玩家可以用鼠标作为笔刷涂抹世界,更改空间特质,从而破解关卡。可玩性挺高,不过后续部分关卡确实比较烧脑,有些关卡可能在失误后需要一遍遍重复很折磨人……不过总体来说是个不错的小游戏!拜托!这可是免费的耶!
This game is OK if you like puzzle platformers. The central gimmick simultaneously feels creative and like something I've seen dozens of times before. That's an odd sensation to have, but then Braid came out over 17 years ago. Some solutions are elegant, some make you feel clever, some feel like abusing physics exploits even though they're intended, some are really tedious to solve, and some once looked up just make you ask how you were ever supposed to figure out. A few situations exist that can softlock you, though there's thankfully a button in the menu to fix those. The metroidvania-esque layout doesn't really add anything and mostly just makes it annoying to backtrack to unfinished puzzles, especially the ones you can't even start until you beat all the bosses. I do appreciate that the devs were willing to try it out though. The ending is just kind of whatever. My idle musings of what kind of lore could go with the levels ended up being more interesting than the reality. This game pretty clearly didn't get the reception the devs hoped for. That's kind of a shame, but also understandable. I wish them success with whatever they're doing now.
[h2]非常舒适的平台解谜之旅[/h2] 《Backworlds》以涂抹为核心机制,谜题的整体形式是以表里世界来呈现的,涂抹作为了表里世界的开关贯穿游戏始终。 本作一共有四个区域,除了一开始引导玩家熟悉核心机制的森林区域外,另外三个区域分别都提供了自己的环境机制(贯穿各自区域所有谜题的机制),除此之外还有离散的小道具小机制,所有的这些结合起来带来了非常丰富的谜题体验。在每个区域的小谜题之外,还有区域的关底谜题和综合区域,都是对机制熟练度的验收。谜题的难度曲线设置非常非常舒适。 再说一下地图部分,作为一个平台解谜游戏自然是有地图的,同时地图也承担着谜题的引导作用。本作的地图呈网状,由中心的枢纽向往延伸出了四个区域,而难度基本呈放射状,在末梢分散着较难的综合区域[spoiler] 最终关又回归到中心 [/spoiler]。而网状地图带来的非线性探索体验对于谜题的难度设计也是一种考验,而本作的做法是不强求全解,在完成十二个区域谜题后就能解锁区域的关底谜题,个人体感下来,十二个谜题大概正好处于需要思考一会儿的边界。总体来说是个与迷题难度设计配合十分规整的地图。 学习必玩,游玩舒适,流程规整。
Definitely needs puzzle solutions or at least hints, mostly because I don't like wasting my time banging my head on a wall, wandering and brute forcing till I finally stumble into the answers. No hint system, no walkthrough guide that I could find online. Still, not all puzzle rooms are required to confront the stage boss and there's no death; no lives or health system. Teleport and map icons are convenient. Certainly worth trying till you get sick of it, and heck, it's free. .....(but damn I hate wasting my time)
FLOAT.
Игра 'Backworlds' – это увлекательное приключение в жанре point-and-click с уникальной механикой порталов. Визуальный стиль впечатляет своей мрачной красотой и сюрреалистическими пейзажами, каждый экран словно картина, полная загадок и деталей. Геймплей основан на решении головоломок, требующих внимательности и умения мыслить нестандартно. Фишка с переключением между параллельными мирами добавляет сложности, заставляя искать скрытые подсказки и использовать окружение по-разному. Сюжет поначалу кажется туманным, но постепенно разворачивается, погружая в атмосферу тайны и мистики. Хотя игра может показаться сложной, удовлетворение от решения каждой головоломки огромно. 'Backworlds' – это не просто игра, а настоящее путешествие в мир сюрреалистических грез, которое оставит после себя незабываемые впечатления. Любителям жанра и ценителям атмосферных приключений - настоятельно рекомендую!
amasing and nice relaxing
