Kenshō

a tile matching game with the usual assortment of different block types, some move, some don't, some are helpful, some are just in the way, and your goal is to collect key fragments on every stage and unlock the door to the next level. there are 10 of them with up to 5 stages in each, which doesn't sound much and it isn't, the game can be completed in about 2 hours, but I found it really enjoyable and very relaxing. in this respect it reminded me of the excellent [b]glass masquerade[/b]. not much of a challenge but looks beautiful and the music is fantastic. there's no move or time limit, when you tilt the board, tiles move if they can and a new one appears, you can see on the left what color, so can plan ahead a bit. what makes it even less challenging and more relaxing (which might be a plus for some and a negative for others) is that every stage is random and while you 'faii' when the screen fills up and there are no more moves, you'll get a new setup immediately and can continue without losing any progress, so it's just a matter of time until you succeed. points are awarded for matches, bonus points for matching more than 3 of a kind, but just like on [i]whose line is it anyway?[/i], points don't matter and there's no way of knowing how many you got in total, seems a bit pointless to have them in the game in the first place. there's some narrative in the level selection/hub area but I wouldn't call it a story, just some motivational sentences here and there, doesn't add much but I didn't mind it either. the door puzzles between levels are fixed and involve placing the keys where they belong by moving all of them at the same time. these aren't difficult at all either, might take a few tries but it's more about mixing things up than putting an obstacle in your way, and after completing all 10 levels, an 11th door opens up, which seems like an endless mode of sorts, but after level 10 is done, you can replay the original levels as well. it is clearly a mobile game but plays fine on pc, I had no problems with the controls or anything, but as usual, volume sliders are not included. that said, if you're not looking for a challenge but want something nice to fiddle with and listen to, pick it up, though you might want to wait for a sale depending on how much you're willing to pay.

Kenshō - маленькая и очень красивая казуалка про оленя... Правда его нам покажут пару раз, но не суть важно. А важен игровой процесс. И он тут очень даже увлекает и включает инстинкт "ещё один уровень и выключаю, а потом ещё один". Это смесь 64 и "три-в-ряд", нужно выстроить на поле 5х5 в один ряд три плитки одного цвета, после чего они исчезают. Плитки появляются в случайном месте сбоку игрового поля, но сторону появления можно указать. Цель - убрать ключевую плитку с кусочком элемента. Уровней 10, на каждом нужно собрать 5 элементов, каждый из которых состоит из 5 кусочков. Время прохождения - 2-3 часа. Все достижения даются по мере прохождения. Это чистейшая казуалка, но имеются лёгкие головоломные элементы. Ближе к середине девятого уровня уже можно подключать думалку и пытаться что-то планировать. Несмотря на элемент случайности, планировать иногда получается. Таймера нет, ограничений по ходам или штрафов за ошибки тоже нет. В случае провала просто генерируется новый уровень, прогресс не теряется. И это отличное решение. Игра очень красивая. Я люблю минимализм в этом деле, но здесь дизайнерское решению завораживает. Плюс добавлены длинные разноцветные заставки между роликами. Сказка в ограниченном бюджете и рамках жанра полностью получилась. И самый цимес - разработчики даже заморочились и выпустили плюшевую версию оленя. Вот что значит увлечённость своим делом. Играйте в хорошие игры. И не кушайте оленей. Кусь.

[도전과제 100% 완료] [PC 플레이] 같은 색의 타일을 가로 혹은 세로로 3줄이상 만들어서 없애는 매치3게임입니다. 기존 매치3게임과는 다르게 주변에 장애물이 있고 특정 타일을 없애면서 열쇠를 얻어야합니다 초반에는 3개의 열쇠를 얻어야하고 레벨이 올라갈 수록 4~5개의 열쇠를 얻어야하고 각 마지막 레벨에는 문을 열기위한 퍼즐이 존재합니다. 이것은... 음...매치3은 아니고 딱 그냥 같은 색의 타일을 색상에 맞게 이동시키는 퍼즐게임입니다 좌우로 혹은 위아래로 움직이면 모든 타일들이 같이 움직인다는점에서 특이했네요 레벨은 죽어도 열쇠를 모은 채로 다시시작되기 때문에 클리어하는데 어려움은 없었습니다. 스토리는 딱히 없는 것 같고 뭔가 교훈적인 메세지를 남기는 것같은데... 잘 모르곘네요 게임하면서 특히나 맘에 안들었던건.. 뭔가 자기네 후속개발 게임 관련 소식 들어보라고 마지막에 메일입력하시오 여기까진 괜찮았는데 레벨 시작할떄 무슨 물건같은거 파는 링크 뜨게하는건 좀...그랬네요 적당히 할만은 한데 개인적으로는 큰 재미는 얻지 못했습니다. (그래도 적당히 도전과제 10개를 채우기에는 좋을 것 같네요)

[b]Kenshō[/b] is a tile-sliding match3 puzzle done right: [list] [*] Simple enough that anyone can play it. No need for complicated tutorials. [*] It is aesthetically pleasing, beautiful even and the soundtrack is great. [*] New elements are introduced on every level. The game eventually becomes challenging, but very forgiving. If you fail a level, the tiles get reset but you don’t lose your progress. [*] Just the right length to feel that you got your money worth but short enough without becoming a chore. The levels are randomized so you can replay them as much as you want or don’t if you don’t want to. There are no unnecessary achievements or goals to force you to keep playing over and over. [*] Same price on mobile and on PC. Can be played comfortably on a touchscreen or with either a keyboard or a mouse. [/list] A very enjoyable and beautiful puzzle game that I definitely recommend. I hope to see more from this developer. [code][url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/32732116-IndieGems/]Follow our curator page: IndieGems[/url] for more reviews.[/code]

The basic game is trying to match three or more tiles in a small grid that progressively fills in. As you move in any of the four directions, all of the tiles on the screen that can move will do so. If they cannot move. Each level has key pieces that appear one at a time. You need to match that block in order to unlock the key piece. Every five key pieces is a new key. Initial levels require fewer keys to complete, later levels will require 5 keys. After you complete all of the pieces, you have then another small puzzle to "restore the balance of nature." Each level introduces a new concept, blocks that sit still and don't move, blocks that move only in one direction, borders on your key piece that allows it to only form three-in-a-row in certain directions, locks that keep a piece in place until it's matched, portals that transport your piece from one place to another on the grid, etc. So there is a significant challenge increase once you get to the later levels. This is a casual puzzler in that there are really no fail states and no time limits. As your grid fills up one by one and eventually you run out of space and no further moves are available, the grid just falls apart and you get a fresh grid to continue. You do not lose any progress, whatever key pieces you have unlocked will remain. No time limit means you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the music. Play it here and there while doing something else. Yes, this is a bit mentally taxing, because of all of the elements introduced that accumulate into the later levels. But there is no stress involved in playing this game at all. For someone who is really good at puzzles, this game might take you less time, for the average player playing all the way through, I estimate about 2 hours of game time. Part of that time will be used to gaze at the wonderful colors flying through the screen in between levels, as well as to marvel with a sense of discovery. The story is minimal and learned through small themes of each level, and is not an integral part of the game. I like the entirety of this game put together as a whole package. Sure, if you feel the need to get a certain number of hours out of a game for your money, you may wish to wait for a sale, but this puzzle game definitely stands out with the above-mentioned points. I did run into a small bug where after I obtained a key, the grid did not repopulate with tiles, but I just clicked on the refresh button and a new grid showed up, and I continued without a hitch. The music is very nice and accompanies the visuals very well. Together they beget a relaxed setting to enjoy this game. Please see the following video for a bit of gameplay from the beginning, looking at the short tutorial and then the first few levels. https://youtu.be/-lj0Hzw1JrE [quote]I received the product for free.

overall good. can recommend it.

Games like this one is rare pink diamond! Amazing visual and sound experience AND THAT is only the menu! Very good puzzle game combined with extraordinary experience, long ago Bejeweled 3 was giving that feel. This game has no weak points. Ken means "seeing," sho means "nature, essence" , some connection with the Buddhism, I won't get deep into that, but I can see from where creators got inspiration to made this piece of art. I can say that I 110 % recomment this title. Gameplay https://youtu.be/QMRqq40XDQQ

Kenshô est un petit jeu de casse-tête qui se termine en une poignée d'heures, comme [strike]il en existe tant d'autres[/strike].... Sauf que celui-ci se démarque largement, de part ses graphismes uniques et féeriques, ainsi que par sa bande sonore relaxante : 11 chansons originales (une par niveau) composées de violon, piano, harmonica, accordéon et plus encore. Tout ceci contribue à un univers apaisant, une ambiance intrigante et merveilleuse. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2328824674 On y découvre un milieu où se mêlent nature, événements climatiques et phrases philosophiques nous entraînant de portes en portes vers un casse-tête aux allures de match 3 mais bien plus original et travaillé que ceux que l'on connait déjà. Ici, pas de lassitude ou d'ennui, derrière chaque nouvelle porte ouverte nous attendent de nouvelles mécaniques. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2327457649 Le but du jeu est de déplacer des blocs de cubes de façon à en aligner 3 ou plus de la même couleur afin de les casser, pour récupérer les fragment d'une clé qui servira à déverrouiller la porte suivante. Mais la tâche n'est pas si simple, car des blocs de pierre viendront compliquer les choses, sachant qu'elles auront des effets différent à chaque nouveau niveau... https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2325144319 Kensho fait donc preuve d'une certaine dose de difficulté progressive mais jamais punitive, nul besoin de recommencer sans cesse le même niveau pour en venir à bout ou finir par se lasser et ne plus y jouer... Si vous vous loupez et ça arrivera forcément, vous recommencez certes, mais sans perte de progression et les cubes seront générés autrement. Après avoir récupéré votre clé, et avant d'aller ouvrir la porte suivante, vous devrez réussir un petit niveau bonus. Un peu comme si l'on devait crocheter une porte, mais toujours avec des cubes, celui-ci est bien plaisant et tout aussi original. Kensho est un petit coup de coeur bien plus raffiné et intéressant qu'un vulgaire match 3, je le recommande à tous. Par contre j'émets une grosse critique et un gros coup de gueule quand à cette publicité (même si peut être peu invasive elle y est quand même) nous proposant des produits dérivés du jeu ! Nous sommes assez conditionnés et harcelés par ces pubs qui envahissent partout notre quotidien, sans avoir à en retrouver en plus dans nos jeux !
