InFlux Redux

J'ai énormément adoré la fin du jeu avec le fondu noir et dit "Balls Over". Non, plus sérieusement, super jeu même si plutôt simple. J'ai eu 2-3 bugs minimes (OOB & lock à 60 fps malgré les réglages). Pour avoir touché le jeu original il y a fort longtemps à 5 fps sur le PC des grands-parents, pouvoir y rejouer sans problème avec une refonte technique, c'est sympa 👍 Vive les jeux de boules

It feels jankier than the original. I got stuck and glitched like 5 times. I also preferred the original's push and pull visual effect, the new one is so subtle its hard to notice. I still enjoyed it and I like that it has achievements now, it just seems very poorly optimized.

My favourite part is when the ball rolls around.

"Why does nobody make marble runners any more?" I have occasionally mused to myself, after having spent inordinate amounts of my youth playing games like Sebastian Aaltonen's "I've Got Some Balls" and, latterly, Cyparade's "Ballance". Well, here is another, similar in spirit to those earlier titles in that you play a marble, you are running, and you have certain powers to aid your progress. Gameplay is split between a really quite beautiful and atmospheric open world map and puzzle boxes that must be solved to progress through it. "These are easy!" I thought to myself in the early puzzle boxes, only to have the game make me eat my words as I tried to wrap my brain around some of the later ones. If you like marbles, atmosphere, and sets of puzzles with pleasing difficulty curves, you'll no doubt enjoy this game. And, frankly, it's just nice that people are still making games like this. Long live the marble runner!

[b][u]TLDR :[/u][/b] decent mix of 2 genres, unfortunately does not work for me ------------------------------------------ [b][u]Blabla :[/u][/b] a nice "explore the pretty world as a rolling ball" game + a nice puzzler where you have to move objects push buttons etc but the combo of finicky puzzle + imprecise controls = big nope puzzle games are fun when "figuring out how to do it" is the key when "actually doing it" is a huge hassle, all fun is annihilated ------------------------------------------ [b][u]Personal Verdict :[/u][/b] 3/10 just can't enjoy this combo, shame outdoor exploration bits were fun, first few puzzles were fun but puzzles become real hassle to execute as you progress already had the eureka moment, let me move on

Take me to the ball game

Ran through the entire game, good time overall. Much bigger fan of the puzzle boxes over the island, lot of complex geometry/ collision snags and invisible walls that makes it annoying to travel around, but it's nice to bomb it across the giant distances with the boost when the opportunities present themselves Would've liked more puzzle boxes, some fun ideas with them and the physics.

This is a gorgeous physics/marble-like puzzle game. The last section does some exciting things after building on the 3-ish hours of previous levels. It's well worth the effort to see it through! A chill time, all-around. And I can't stress this enough, it feels [i]really[/i] good to roll around in the game, bonk into walls, and launch yourself off level geometry.

Peace
