Kolumno

This is not a puzzle game, more of a reaction/anticipation/hope-you-get-lucky kind of game. You spend more effort staying patient with the game than actual thinking, as some of these levels are down to a few tenths of a second window. Regardless, $1 for 90 minutes isn't a bad deal considering.

A decent "puzzle" concept which was poorly executed. Despite its appearance as a puzzle game, Kolumno is more of an exercise on low-forgiveness button pressing. This game falls sadly between the likes of Celeste and any standard puzzle game. In Celeste, your goal and each step to attain that goal are fairly obvious throughout the game. Because everything is clearly laid out, the challenge is in timing and execution - and this is good [i]only[/i] because everything is clearly laid out. Meanwhile, puzzle games generally lack time pressure and execution is at your pace, with the solution needing to be produced by you. Kolumno takes both of these concepts and makes for an un-engaging and frustrating experience. Each level (past the introductory levels, where the 4 abilities are introduced to you) requires absolute pinpoint timing. A few fractions of a second early or late is a guaranteed failure. Again, like in Celeste, this is OK if everything you need to do is absolutely clear. However, in this game, each level requires you to figure out exactly [i]when[/i] to execute, in addition to [i]how[/i]. As a result, in levels where multiple abilities are available for use, there's the risk of you trying to execute the wrong solution and being unsure if you are wrong about the order of operations or the timing of what you're doing. Failure, in a game meant to fail you, is a solid driving force when you are able to learn what you did wrong. When it's unclear why you are losing or what you should change, frustration is quick to emerge. To avoid going on longer than this game deserves - in summary, I cannot recommend this game as levels are too finicky, timings are too unforgiving, the abilities are few and played out by the end of the (short) game, and overall, I simply didn't enjoy playing.

ストアページの雰囲気で、リラックスしながら出来るゲームなんだろうなと思って買った。 クリスマスイブイブに私を待っていたのは60fpsと仮定して前後1fくらいしか操作ミスが許されない地獄だった。 I wish you a hell-ish Christmas.

不怎么样的游戏 基本规则就是等待合适的时机让小球掉下来 虽然会逐渐解锁一些特殊技能，但总觉得游戏性不高

es el tipico juego de movil de la bolita que cae, tirandola en el momento justo donde todo se alinea para no chocar

a cylindrical geometry dash... maybe? what's cleverly done here, imo, is the rage-quit gameplay matched with that soft, chilling out music. + dev's name begins with "devil" and game is currently 66% discounted, so...

I really liked the game, but the difficulty curve takles you hard when you reach the level 50+ . Don't think I'll be able to make fall a ball / destroy stuff / accelerate / get it mini and so on before a while. Even though the levels are always the same, I guess there is a replay value as even if you manage to finish one level once, it doesn't mean you'll be able to do it a second time.
