Jaques Roque

[b] Target Audience: [/b] [I] Twin stick shooter players who want to text their reflexes. [/i] [b] Summary: [/b] Jaques Roque just doesn't stand out in the end. The puzzles aren't hard enough or clever enough to really stand out on their own, and the games lacking aesthic doesn't help the fact that you think you're playing a game that was really designed for the IOS. Several of the puzzles lack real good design which is critical for a puzzle game, and I was bored to sleep by the time I made it to the second set of levels. I'd pass on it. [b]Gameplay Footage and Video Review: http://youtu.be/1K_N_samACs [/b] [u] Lists: [/u] [b]Positives:[/b] [list] [*] Multiple levels of success is available so those who are OCD about collecting everything will have to think a bit more. [*] Won't frustrate to the point of keyboard smashing, controller throwing. [*] Every now again, a puzzle does something interesting and unique with the elements it has. [/list] [b]Negatives:[/b] [list] [*] Doesn't introduce new mechanics in a timely manner: gets boring rather quickly. [*] Some puzzle elements serve no purpose, as in, there's only one thing you can do with them and that's it, you can't use them to fail, and the only move it to succeed. Gives a false feeling of doing something important, when it fact, you made no real choice. [*] Lack of useful controls such as a button to restart are present. [*] Visuals don't help the experience, stand out like a sore thumb and certain points. Controls and options make the game seem like it was a mobile game (really only relies on the mouse). But no mobile game to be found from what I can see. [*] Not unique in any way, and given the tons of puzzle games out there that are, it's hard to justify to get this game over a series of cheap ones on sale. [*] Obvious Misspellings that stand out. Seems like it might have been translated. [*] Generic Music [/list] [b] If you want more reviews/information regarding games I've reviewed, visit my curator.

As there aren’t many reviews for this old but still VG, mostly logic 100 level puzzle game, I was hoping I might bring attention to this game in case you missed it first time around. Although it doesn’t have an undo button and has a timer, both things I loath in a puzzle game, as it isn’t a hard game, I still had a lot of fun with it despite this, but I’ll come to those later. [H1]GAMEPLAY[/H1] It’s a mix of genre’s – mostly slide to obstacle with some moving blocks around, some minor sokoban and a couple of levels of transporters. While only a couple of levels have transporters this is what makes it not entirely a logic game as those are trial and error/guesswork. There is no reaction/moving quickly, or avoiding things, nothing like that, zero arcade/action gaming. Your goal is to get your character to the exit. At the beginning of a level there is a big arrow showing you the exit. On the way you can pick up all items/treasures (for all achievements) and to make it more of a puzzle game, or you can choose the easy direct route. MOVEMENT If your character is on a moving tile then you can move that tile with arrows on your keyboard but if you want to move other moving tiles then you need to use your mouse. So you either have to use both or just use your mouse. It did take some getting used to, being able to move other tiles around your character but the keyboard and mouse worked well for me. OPTIONS Level map is in main menu under ‘quick game.’ Fullscreen/windowed. Sliders for music and sound. [h1]CONS[/H1] No reset level shortcut (that I could find.) Only onscreen, couple of clicks. No undo. While just on a few levels I really missed it, when I missed it, I really missed it but as the game wasn’t hard most of the time it wasn’t frustrating. Timer. [h1] TIMER[/H1] No option to turn it off. This isn’t one of the many games with timers that you have a couple of seconds to spare if you do everything right first go. It’s a very, very generous timer. I only encountered it twice. (redoing levels as you made a mistake as there is no undo probably had a lot to do with this.) Even if you feel you are slow working out a level, use your time for that, then when doing the level you will have MINUTES left over. As it’s so generous I don’t get why there is one but thankful it is generous or I’d never have written a review. GETTING ALL GOLD ON LEVELS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TIMER it’s about getting all items/coins. [H1]OVERVIEW[/h1] Even if you go for all items (all achievements) it’s not a hard game that’s not to say it’s easy, it’s not. It was perfect for me; I don’t like too easy games or too hard games. It had enough head scratching bits in some levels to keep me happy and worth my while playing'. Although as usual there are a fair few easy levels. If you are just going for the exits then it is on the easy side. I didn’t feel it got more difficult in later levels it was all mostly the same. It was fun, I loved the slight variety in gameplay as usually it’s all one thing. I've had it so long I can't remember where I got it (bundle) or on a rare sale but I didn't pay full price. I'm glad I dusted it off and finally played it and everything is working on W10 today including achs. [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/40751408/]Ginger’s Games Curator page[/url]

Läuft bei mir zackig unter Windows 8.1 64 Bit, war nicht so klar aus der Beschreibung, aber damit ist wohl ab XP gemeint. Sind ja nicht immer ganz einfach die Rätsel, aber wenn man erst gecheckt hat wie der Hase läuft, dann ist Jaques dein bester Freund und einfach wäre doch zu langweilig. Viel Spaß beim schnellen, oder längeren Knobeln :) mit Jaques!

Hallo Lustiges Spiel um mal ein bischen den Grips anzustrengen Anfangs recht einfach wird aber später noch knackig man merkt garnicht wie die Zeit verfliegt Daumen hoch passendes Spiel für die Mittagspause aber nicht vergessen Wecker stellen ""

[b]★★★★★★★☆☆☆ - 7/10[/b] Ganz klare Empfehlung von mir. Ich habe das Spiel schon seit dem es 2011 erschienen ist und ich freue mich das es nun auf Steam erschienen ist. Klasse das es auch noch mit Achievements aufgestockt wurde. Bin jetzt wieder bei Level 40 und freu mich schon auf die nächsten 60 Puzzle. Technisch keine Probleme, läuft 100% auf meinem System. Das einzige was ich bemängeln könnte wären die schwarzen Ränder an den Seiten, aber das Spiel ist nunmal nicht für 16:9 gemacht.

sehr geiles Spiel für Zwieschendurch, macht Laune

[b] Jaques Roque - A Steam Review[/b] [b] The good:[/b] [list] [*]Eazy to understand puzzle elements [*]Low system requirements [/list] [b] The not so good:[/b] [list] [*]The lack of new features makes the puzzles become boring pretty fast [*]Lots of typos and mistranslations in the english version [*]No undo button, so you have to restart the level after even a small mistake [/list] [b] The conclusion:[/b] Nice puzzle game that can be played on any system, but riddled with bugs and some poor design choices. I would hold off of buying this until a sale. You can watch me playing it here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geF03Vy9ErU

Funny little puzzle game for children as well as adults. Difficulty reaches from very easy to really tough. Graphics and sound emphasize the "indiana jones" setting and lead to a unique playing experience. Definitely a recommendation!

I really like this game. Most important thing to note- The main focus of the game is the puzzles, not action or adventure or the storyline. It is definitely repetitive and some of the puzzles are very easy, but sometimes collecting everything can be quite challenging. The blocks that can only be moved once add to the difficulty levels, sometimes you need to restart the level several times in order to move just those blocks into the right places. Each individual level is very short. I play a couple when I have some time, while drinking coffee or waiting for something to cook. It is not a game that should be played every day or for hours on end. Playing a couple levels a couple times a week also stretches out the gameplay. Steam says I've played 4.2 hours over 2 months or so, and I've only just completed the first world. The controls are extremely simple- I use both the keyboard and the mouse depending on which blocks I need to move. Because I often have long time periods away from the game, the simplicity helps when I return to playing. I spelling errors don't really bother me because there's very few messages during gameplay, If you like puzzles, this is a cute, quick game to fill some free time.

try to collect all the gems, treasures, etc. on each level then find the exit. to get gold on each level requires obtaining all the collectibles. to go back to a level that you want to repeat you have to choose quick game from the main menu. i suggest using a mouse & keyboard together to play this game. i finished all 100 levels. there are 5 worlds with 20 levels each. give it a chance because when i started out i didn't think much, but it's definitely a fun game. the main complaint i would expect being a puzzle game is too easy. just depends on the player probably. many levels were challenging to me. i got gold on every level except about 10 of them. i don't think being easy at times is necessarily a bad thing either. in conclusion, if you like puzzle games you will enjoy this game because of the simple game play that involves sliding blocks. it may be somewhat similar to other games you have played but also adds other elements. importantly, it is well done as far as the graphics & level design in addition to providing very many hours to finish.
