Игры развиваю в людях жестокость, да? <3
パズルモードの途中でのレビューです。 線をどうつなげればいいかを解き明かしていくのがとても楽しく、それまでに流れる音楽もとても心地よいです。正解の場合どこかでループを組んで一定のリズムを奏でることになるのですが、うまくいかなかったときとリズムが異なるのでできた時の達成感をリズムが押し上げてくれます。うまくいかない際もそれなりにいい感じにリズムが流れるのでトライ&エラーもあまり苦になりません。 Demo版が公開されているので、そちらを試して自分に合いそうかどうか試してみてください。
很棒的解谜游戏 机制新鲜 简洁又烧脑 画面舒服 教科书般的平面设计 音乐和玩法完美结合
A very synesthesic game! Connect the nodes so you can send a signal to awake the cat. Nodes have different types, and the game gradually introduces you to them. As the signal travels, music is produced. The sound design is quite nice and will keep you playing the puzzles. The puzzles themselves are made so you have to figure out a loop that will solve the problem. So it's programming in some way. I really recommend this game if you like puzzle games.
Beautifully made game that had me scratching my head at time (ok so 2 levels had me crashing out completely) but I really enjoyed it. I finished the levels (not including hard levels) in about 4 hours. The music was beautiful, the messages for each level nearly had me in tears sometimes because they were so sweet and genuine, and the clean aesthetic worked well for the game. I would love a dark mode or at least a way to reduce the brightness of the background. I didn't dive into the building section, or the community maps, but these features are so incredibly cool to have!! Definitely going to be having a dive into that at some point <3 A lot of love and care has clearly gone into the game and I'd be happy to recommend it to anyone who enjoys interesting challenges.
Delightful, satisfying and feels fuzzy to play.
Proudly South African, great puzzle game.
Very innovative, pleasant and smart puzzler, heavily recommend !
