Gates of Horn and Ivory

A pretty decent puzzle game, i liked the artwork but i hated the character :( for me the legs dont look right and it stands out compared to how well the rest of the game looks. This will appeal to players of puzzle games more than platformers. Pick up in sale Heres my First look at the game https://www.twitch.tv/videos/309848817

[quote=17173萤火虫] 加入[url=http://firefly.17173.com/]17173萤火虫[/url]，和我们一起用热爱点亮游戏之光[/quote] 《Gates of Horn and Ivory》是一款有关心理学的2D平台跳跃解谜游戏，游戏内容主要围绕探讨“我们的存在”这一主题展开。 “Gates of Horn and Ivory（角与象牙之门）”是一种用来区分真假的文学形象，这个短语起源于希腊语，其中“horn（号角）”一词与“fulfil（达到）”相似，“ivory（象牙）”一词与“deceive（欺骗）”相似。在这些词语的基础上，通过gate of horn的梦被称为真实的梦，通过gate of ivory的梦被称为虚假的梦。 知道这些后，游戏的深度似乎提高了一个层面，但可惜的是，虽然内容不乏可圈可点之处，但游戏内的解谜和主题的结合十分之生硬。 作为一款2D平台跳跃解谜独立游戏，本作的画面稍显简单，第一眼看上去很难让玩家提起兴趣，[spoiler]我甚至打完结局之一依然不知道我操控的是个什么玩意[/spoiler]；第二，作为平台跳跃游戏的核心，游戏内跳跃的手感并不是很舒服,有一种很虚的感觉，蹬墙跳更是没有任何画面反馈让人判断是否处于抓墙转态，[spoiler]其实大部分动作都没有反馈[/spoiler] 游戏的地图优点和缺点都很明显。玩家操控的角色一开始就在一个菱形的迷宫里，这个迷宫并没有边界，当你到达地图任意一端时继续前进，就会出现在地图的另一端，[b]整个地图相当于一个无限的循环[/b]，算是能让人眼前一亮的设计。但除此之外，[b]游戏的地图十分之绕[/b]，按Tab键[b]总览的地图又非常不直观[/b]，很多地方错过了就得再绕一大圈回去，在这期间经过无数的岔路口时又很可能不小心走错导致浪费大量时间。 根据完成度的不同，游戏可以打出多个结局，根据玩家想要打出的结局，游戏时间在3-8小时不等。[b]建议在一局内一次性打出结局，不然当过后再玩的时候很可能会看着复杂的地图无从下手[/b]。 游戏的BGM相较于游戏的其他内容算是相当的出彩了，虽然风格大体相同，但很好的烘托了神秘而又未知的氛围，非常贴合游戏的主题。 [u]游戏无中文，在阅读谜题的提示时需要一定的词汇量，靠翻译软件能勉强啃下[/u] [u]解谜游戏爱好者可考虑入手，除此之外皆不建议入手[/u] 优点 +新奇的主题 +地图的四面循环 +贴合主题的BGM +部分谜题还算巧妙 +多结局 缺点 -主题与内容结合生硬 -跳跃手感差 -动作缺少反馈 -简单的画面 -道路很绕却无法直观的总览地图 -无中文 更多游戏推荐请关注[url=http://steamcommunity.com/groups/17173firefly]17173萤火虫[/url]以及[url=http://store.steampowered.com/curator/31716674]17173萤火虫鉴赏家[/url]

This is a Platventure with a focus on puzzle and traversal; there is no combat to be found. You wander a cool, desolate, moon-like expanse, gathering colored flames; collect all of a color and bring it back to its monolith (also used for fast travel), and you'll unlock a new ability. Platforming is mostly solid (a little janky at times, unless I was glitch-bruteforcing some of the solutions and didn't realize it), and most of the puzzles are pretty reasonable to solve. The story is pretty interesting, too, even if I figured out where the "true" ending was going as soon as the choice was presented. The music is largely atmospheric, but it does its job very well. The game has only one major flaw, and that's that choosing an ending, or entering the very rare fail state ends your game and auto-saves, so if you want to see the other ending, or take another run at the true ending, you have to start the game from the beginning, and that really sucks, but at least it's short. Still definitely worth checking out, if you like the surreal, atmospheric stuff.

Review text snippet from upcoming errori.net ------------------------------------------------ Hyvää Mukava tuntuma, älyttömän vaikea päästää ohjaimesta irti ja pelin juoni ja metafyysinen pohdinta jäävät kummittelemaan. Speedrun-painotus on hauska lisä ja tekee muuten itsekseen pelattavasta pelistä yhteisöllisen kokemuksen. Pulmat ja sokkelot on, pardonnez mon anglais, helvetin hyvin suunniteltu. Huonoa Läppäri jumitti joissain kohdissa (sumuhuone tulee mieleen), joten esimerkiksi tuon ja parin muun teholtaan raskaamman kohdan optimoinnin olisi voinut toteuttaa paremmin. Kylttien kieliopin voisi katsastaa kerran läpi. Tuomio Gates of Horn and Ivory on hyvin erikoisesta päähahmostaan ja ulkoasustaan huolimatta helposti lähestyttävä, ihmeen koukuttava ja ihmeen vaikuttava peli joka vie täysin mukanaan. Puzzlet on rakennettu mallikkaasti ja peli jaksaa kantaa myös uudelleenpeluun. Peli sopii erityisesti matalastressistä tasoloikkaa hakeville, jotka haluavat kaikessa rauhassa ratkaista puzzleja ja metsästää valopalloja pelin harmaassa mutta vangitsevassa ympäristössä.

An interesting game where you try to find the meaning of it all by jumping, traversing an edge-wrapping map and collecting powers to get to the end. The puzzles aren't always easy and mostly not obvious. You can finish the game without collecting everything and there are several endings, so be wary when and how you finish it. Will keep you entertained for at least a couple of playthroughs and then there's the speedrun mode where you can see who's the fastest of them all. The graphics are kind of minimalistic and that's a good thing. It fits the theme, and the music and sounds are well made to create atmosphere. Definitely worth a play.

Gates of Horn and Ivory is a great indie game with an interesting atmosphere and challenging puzzles. The first ending is encountered after a relatively short play through, but the other ending(s) (presumably) take longer due to the vast amount of collectibles there are in the game. It doesn't feel like a burden to play through it again, but more like a second chance. A good, solid experience that challenges all from regular players to speed runners.

たまたま見つけたゲーム レビューも少なくちっちゃいゲームかと思いきや、裏に深い話が隠れていそうなゲーム！ メトロイヴァニア系であまり深いゲームプレイはないが要所要所に出てくるカットイン的な音声がストーリーの背景を暗に語っており考えさせられる。 キャラクターデザインが微妙な部分もあるがそれすら何かしら理由がある気がする。。。

A decent, slightly overpriced puzzle platformer with a few minor problems. Most puzzles are nice, but some of them require reading a hint sign nearby, which kind of defeats the purpose of a puzzle. Some switches show you the location of the actuated object, but only once, so if you missed the location of that door opening, you're on your own. The controls are typical (double jump, wall climb) but sadly not very precise. The collider of the player model is not quite where you might expect. Sometimes you get stuck on the ledge of the platform you were trying to jump on, and will have to fall down and try again, possibly having to retrace your steps to reach the same location again. The game map has a very interesting and fun topology, but it's sometimes hard to tell where the edges of the screens are in the world map. A grid in the map would help a long way in determining the route you want to take. The player will spend a lot of time consulting the map but unfortunately there isn't much help in navigating it. The next objective is marked clearly, but it's really not much of a help in such a labyrinth. The player will stumble on it eventually even without the marker. The story feels very detached from actual gameplay. It helps set the mood and atmosphere, but is not at all necessary. The player will stumble upon story items which don't really serve a purpose. They could be used as navigation aids, but sadly aren't marked on the map. I wouldn't pay the full price (12.49 € as of writing) for this, but for a price somewhere between 5 to 8 euros I could see myself supporting this indie developer.
