Gravity

Вернулся в детство, вспомнив, как играл в Professor Heinz Wolff's Gravity.

Cool game, I love puzzles

8/10 Physics-based puzzle TLDR: Arrange blocks, balls and other elements so that the initial impulse of a falling ball would eventually lead to pushing/touching of a button on the other side of the level. Solid and varied puzzles, even if with somewhat basic looks. Good: + 100 levels, interesting puzzles. Level 26 is genius + very pleasant contemporary piano music tracks in the style of Ludovico Einaudi (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1oZk_1saFQ). If the dev owns the rights, I'd recommend selling the OST separately So-so: +/- rotating pieces with 2 mouse buttons held might not have been the best choice, as it doesn't work on touchscreen and also would prevent porting such a game to mobile +/- graphics are very basic 2D. I guess it's not a big deal for an indie puzzle game. Though of course, had it had stylish gfx, it would have far more sales +/- no story or characters (e.g. instructors) or actually any text make this game look somewhat lifeless and cheap - though again it wouldn't be a big deal for a puzzle, right? Except when you want the game to be pleasing beoynd the intellectual domain +/- Shift key should allow dragging the piece thru obstacles even if Shift is pressed after the mouse drag has started Bad: - nothing [table][tr][th][i]I'm a Steam curator, you can [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/43946907-Friendly-Nerd/]follow me[/url][/i][/th][/tr][/table]

6/10. Physics-based puzzler with rolling balls and sticks that can form platforms or be knocked over. This is the kind of puzzle genre that was very popular in the early days of the iPhone but has sort of disappeared since. It’s also somewhat reminiscent of The Incredible Machine if every level involved bowling balls. While not the most novel thing in the world, I did enjoy playing it. That was moderated somewhat by the fact that the first 29 levels were mostly trivial, requiring nothing more than doing the obvious thing in almost all cases. Perhaps that’s because this is such a familiar genre (to me). Probably they would feel more challenging and novel if this happens to be new to you. There are 100 levels so there’s still plenty of content even if the first 30% are overly easy. The controls are pretty good. Touch screen works perfectly, and it’s also ok to play on a laptop with a touchpad, though every movement requires click+drag which isn’t the most ergonomic. That said it seems to be designed with a 3 button mouse and keyboard as the ideal input device and probably is the most pleasant that way. In particular rotating the pieces requires pushing them up against nearby walls unless you are using a mouse with a scroll wheel. While this can be occasionally cumbersome, in a way it kind of adds to the puzzle moment to moment. There’s also full undo.
