This is an absolutely amazing game. It's chill, wholesome, and delightful. The puzzles are challenging, yet really fun. You can complete the game in a few hours if you don't do all the hard levels - but it feels like if you're forgetful like me there's total replayability! The creator is such a neat idea, and that's the next level of challenge to me: create your own puzzles, or just your own beats. I cannot recommend this game more, it's absolutely a blast. Thank you to the devs for a key, but I know I'll be buying gifts for friends!
What an incredibly beautiful and considered puzzle game. The style, sound design, and game play and thought out and delightful.
A lovely experience which hits the right balance of cosy and challenging.
Such a cute and zen puzzler! Looking forward to cat wisdom after each level :D
It's kinda a rhythm game but not really. Grid based game where goal is to create a self sustaining loop in a network to deliver music to a cat. Love the minimalist art style. Unique puzzle mechanic that I haven't played at least. Anyway, stop reading this review and give the game a try.
Très clairement un jeu intimiste pour l'auteur qui a mis beaucoup de temps (+ de 10 ans au vu des premières beta ?!). Le résultat des deux premiers "mondes" convainquant pour s'arracher un peu la tête tout en étant dans le chill. C'est frais et ça change de ce qu'on a l'habitude de voir - Tout en rappelant du chuchu rocket par exemple. A acheter pour soutenir le dev :-)
My autism has activated. This is not only satisfying in a visual sense but also when you complete a puzzle there is a sense of dopamine that can only be achieved through puzzle games of this caliber. It is almost a rhythm based logic puzzle game which makes it not only very unique but also extremely interesting. In my youth I could see myself dumping hours into this kind of game, alas I am now a failed youtuber who must play hundreds of games to only find a handful that are genuinely enjoyable, like this one. I recommend this if you want a good puzzler.
简单来说,《律动环廊》是一款以音游+解密为核心的跨界融合作品,打破了传统音游拍击键盘掌握节奏的单一玩法,反而投身于解密作品的怀抱,通过简单的模式设计为玩家带来完全不同的解密体验,尤其是本身作品还有这舒适美观的美术风格和极富禅意的音乐设定,十分适合玩腻大作之余闲暇解闷。 游戏的玩法十分简单,就是通过链接地图上的打击模块,构建独特的曲调,从而唤醒头带耳机的猫咪小仁,这一玩法放弃了传统音游打击节奏的玩法模式,让即便不是“钢琴手”“操作怪”也能在片段之间感受到音游的魅力。整个游戏一共有五大章节,数十个关卡,足够喜欢推理和音游的玩家沉浸其中,找出谜题的答案。 作为一款主打韵律加解密的游戏,《律动环廊》的视觉表现与氛围营造堪称加分项,甚至成为吸引玩家的核心亮点之一。游戏整体视觉风格偏向简约治愈,同时融入了科技感与艺术感,本着简单即是大方的设计理念,以白的背景和简洁的声音方块拼接成的地块,打造出会呼吸的光影廊道,让每一段流淌的音符都跃然其中,算是近期少有的简洁大方的作品设计。 另外一点是游戏有着十分成熟的音效关卡制作模式,自带了功能强大的编辑器,轻松就可以为你展现沙盒音游的魅力,自己创造属于自己的有趣片段,当然即便你是完全不懂的小白,也可以通过创意工坊来找寻并欣赏各种大佬们制作的有趣作品。 综上所述,《律动环廊》的特色及其鲜明,它适合喜欢治愈系氛围、偏爱节奏音游和简单推理,且不介意玩法深度不足、对剧情要求不高的休闲玩家,也适合音游新手与音乐爱好者,既能体验节奏打击的乐趣,也能尝试简单的韵律创作。它就像一座简约的环形廊道,没有复杂的岔路,却能让你在踏响节奏的同时,收获简单的快乐。 [quote] 游玩百态,将游玩心得用汉语化作玩家的指明灯,(๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧ [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/35402408/]点击这里关注汉化语录~[/url] 如果喜欢这个评测,请点个赞让更多人看见 [/quote]
A unique puzzle game that's both relaxing and engaging!
It's been basically a decade since I last played Cadence. I'm very proud to see how far it's come. Better late than never! I had to configure the UI a bit for my big ass monitor but the settings were easy to find. There was also a minor issue where you can drag the map and mess up interacting with the tiles but I sorted it out so no biggie. For those wanting something chill to play between games where you've rage quit or waiting for friends this is great. I didn't feel like playing my fifth Soulslike right now and remembered I forgot to play this! D: I didn't realize it's also a therapy session where after solving each puzzle the cat with headphones, I'll call Caddie, gives you some advice. Caddie encourages you to take that step forward, failure is actually an option because the more you fail the more you learn until you succeed. Caddie is a sweet motivator, be like Caddie! The instructions so far are very simple. Click and drag your mouse across a tile to direct the music. Once it reaches Caddie and wakes them up you've solved it. The trickiness comes in loops and various mechanics such as hitting a tile with notes at the same time or having tiles be locked in a certain direction. So far some puzzles have wracked my brain and trial and error is usually my brute force way. However I have actually big brained a sequence of puzzles so much so that I surprised myself. I would like more music to play while solving the puzzles as right now it's more like a gentle breeze which while relaxing can be a bit boring and the game has potential to have the zen music playing while solving the puzzles and the upbeat loops be the reward after. Overall a game that can engage you much the same way CatStax can! (CatStax is also insanely hard later!)
