elaine

Esse jogo é uma delicia

Starts simple, but gets complex. Currently 26 on the leaderboards and working my way up. Definitely a good puzzler for the price.

[i] This Review Originally Appeared on IndieHangover at: [url=http://www.indiehangover.com/review-elaine/] http://www.indiehangover.com/review-elaine[/url][/i] I’ve got a soft spot for puzzle games, and the indie scene is a fantastic place to find games presenting puzzles in new and innovative ways. However, [i]elaine[/i] truly surprised me, not only for its remarkable difficulty, but also its brilliant design. What appears to be a strange version of color match with a pulsing electronic soundtrack quickly reveals itself to be a test of coordination, memory, perspective and reflexes, all at the same time. [i]elaine[/i] has an incredibly simple premise: You have to match the color and position of a number of squares in a short amount of time. As you progress, more colors are added. The game ends when time runs out on the clock. Sounds easy, right? It isn’t. The perspective you’re given of the solution is just slightly off enough to require a little bit of adjustment, and you’re given a remarkably small amount of time to complete the puzzle. As you progress, more and more colors are added, and you’ll need to cycle through them in the right order while moving to match things up. Make a mistake? Suddenly those spots have disappeared. Get the next puzzle correct and they’ll return, but fail too many times and you’ll be working with a very small playing area. The mechanics of [i]elaine[/i] may be simple, but they’re executed so precisely and accurately that they cannot help but be compelling. It took me quite a few tries before I figured things out, and it felt frustrating before then, but once things clicked, I was entranced, driven even, to keep playing. [i]elaine[/i] is entirely fair. all the rules are laid out to you, and its as clear as…well, colors on a white board… what you need to do. And while you may fail and fail and fail again, you can feel yourself making new connections, learning tricks on how to look at specific orientations, your fingers getting ever so faster. That sense of improvement and learning is infectious and breeds a competitive spirit to improve. [i]elaine[/i]'s absolutely amazing soundtrack, and only helps to keep you driven. The pulsing electronic beats urge you to move faster and faster, pushing yourself to get the combinations of color and position correct. It puts you into a frantic, trance-like state. Time seems to slow slightly, and you’ll feel yourself putting up blinders to the rest of the world, concentrating completely on lining up the fluorescent blocks creeping towards you. [i]elaine[/i] has two game modes, an arcade and a classic mode . Mechanically, there’s not a tons of difference. Arcade will see you going for as high a score as possible, while classic mode is more of a last as long/get as far kind of affair. Personally, I found the competitive spirit taking over and arcade move claimed most of my time, and the end screen does a fantastic job of showing you how you got your score, and how far away from the next ranking you were. [i]elaine[/i] is challenging, and addictive. With bright, clear visuals and an amazing soundtrack, it’s a game that puzzle fans should absolutely check out, particularly if they’ve got a competitive streak. Still not sure why it’s titled [i]elaine[/i] though… [i] Find More Reviews, Interviews and Previews from the world of Indie Games and Indie Game Development at www.IndieHangover.com | On Twitter at [url=https://twitter.com/IndieHangover]@IndieHangover[/url] | [/i]

알맞은 색을 넣는 게임. 방향키를 이용하여 상하좌우 이동을 할 수 있습니다. 저 뒤편에서부터 흐릿하게 색들과 위치가 보입니다. 이동을 하면서 알맞은 위치에 색을 넣으면 됩니다. 문제는 색의 순서가 존재한다는 점 색은 1~6번의 키를 눌러서 넣을 수 있으며, 색의 등장 순서에 따라 숫자가 배정됩니다. 처음에 푸른색이 나오면 1번은 푸른색, 다음으로 붉은색이 나오면 2번은 붉은색. 새로 시작해서 처음에 분홍이 나오면 1번이 분홍이 됩니다. 게임을 하면서 매번 새로 색의 순서를 외워야하죠. 뒤에 보이는 색의 위치가 애매하게 보이고 제한된 시간이 있어서 그 안에 모두 채워야하고 마지막으로 검은색의 위치로 돌아가야해서 꽤나 빠른 판단이 필요한 게임. 아쉬운 점 -매번 외워야하는 색의 순서 -점들이 이동할 수 없게 배치되는 경우 존재 -오래 플레이하기는 꽤나 머리아픈 게임 -나와 같이 제한 요소가 있을 때 빠른 판단을 필요로 하는 게임에 약한 플레이어에게는 비추천
