[b]Briefly: An enjoyable but short puzzle-platformer with the cutest visuals.[/b] With characters reminiscent of [i]Moomin[/i] (though that might only be my personal opinion), [i]Lit the Torch[/i] introduces a flamy haired protagonist who has the power to "see in the world of memories". Unsurprisingly given the name, they set out to light all the torches in each level. [h1]Lense gimmick[/h1] Being a puzzle-platformer, [i]Lit the Torch[/i] presents its gimmick: the lense that allows to see into and interact with another world / time. The lense is (at first) activated with mouse and moved by dragging it. The lense is used in refreshingly varied ways: at its simplest it opens ways otherwise blocked. It can also reveal and conceal some enemies (effectively rendering them lethal and not). Some monsters live in both worlds at once, so the lense allows changing their path, leading to some elaborate switch puzzles since the mobs can operate equipment. Later some other common gimmicks are introduced: there's wind that hinders movement; and a twin character that moves when you move enabling cooperation puzzles. Then you lose the lense, instead being constrained to level-specific mechanics, like periodically switching worlds. With the alternating mechanics, some levels can be quite challenging and take several tries before beating them. [h1]Little torch story[/h1] Unfortunately, the story feels flat and vague. Part of the reason are the cutscenes: little more than (moderate) walls of text, the screens automatically moved forward before I had time to read them, leaving myself unconfortably bewildered by them. It would be nice if the game waited for a button press instead. I also observed a few typos along the way, further implying slightly rushed execution. Store page explains the background story but it doesn't help much. On the other hand, the visual style is adorable. The story and your relationship with the twin was really cute, even if it didn't feel well explained. Also, while I dared to claim a feeling of it being rushed, I observed no bugs in the gameplay, so perhaps the story execution was merely a quirk of the translation. [h1]Conclusions[/h1] Game has common options and a level selection screen, conveniently allowing replaying certain levels for missing achievements or replaying story. Note that, as a minor inconvenience, [i]there is no controller support[/i]. While its story was lacking, [i]Lit the Torch[/i] gets my kudos for the delightful artstyle, stunning backgrounds and diverse use of the puzzle mechanics. For a $1 game I got 53 levels worth of 2.5 hours of gameplay before being finished. For that price [i]Lit the Torch[/i] was a pleasant experience. If you love puzzle-platformers, do get it for an evening-long snack. [url=http://store.steampowered.com/curator/9997062/]~Twistorian Curator~[/url]
you may not find revolutionary ideas as per gameplay mechanics, here... but: puzzles are very enjoyable , with little platforming. a few glitches here and there. artstyle is just gorgeous (even more than that, if you also consider the asking price) [u]wonderfully drawn, a little feast for eyes.[/u] really hope this will get more positive reviews, cause dev totally deserves them. a perfect gift for puzzle lovers!
Such a smart and clever game. I am normally isnt into platformers like this is; as I have "played them all". (I havent, but alot of them). However this is a puzzle platformer. I love smart & clever games. The artsyle is just gorgeous. ... Conclusion; this game makes me wanna play it to the end. and thats the best thing a game can ever give. Full price? Just perfect and I would not hesitate to recommend anyone into "puzzle games" to get this gem.
From what I have played so far, this game is pretty good. The character design and art is pretty and the way you solve the puzzles is really fun. Um some may have trouble with the little window because as you move, it also moves but that's usually because there is a better way around the obstacle. The controls are simple, the game itself is relaxing and challenges you a little. It doesn't have much of a story but it is exsecuted in a clever way and it is better than a lot of other platformer games I have played.
非常有创意的游戏,听说这游戏也有手机版,去玩了一下,还是电脑上操作觉得顺畅。目前还有6关左右通关,期待更新更多的关卡。目前已知的关卡涉及多种类型的玩法,感觉和时空幻境的不同章节一样。玩起来还是蛮有意思的,不过希望添加通关时间和集换式卡牌。双人关卡要注意卡位置,不然都跳到一起有的开关开不了。后面加上时间减缓的双人关卡是蛮有意思的一个点。 优点 独特的核心玩法 较为多样的关卡设计 独具风格的国产游戏 缺点 手机移植痕迹过于明显 物理引擎很突兀 没有快捷键 bgm个人不喜欢,几声乌鸦叫很怪异 (仁者见仁智者见智) 没有卡 总评7.5 值得花上几个小时通关的解密游戏
[list][*][b][h1]Morlan's shorts:[/h1][/b][/list] Vivid, bright colours and environment, okayish music, good puzzles that get progressively harder. It appears like a cute, kid's play, game, but later on the levels become quite hard. The puzzle element is trying to figure out how to reach the torches between the alternate timelines, so there will be a lot of using that magic square, and the action element is having to synchronise your movement to avoid getting vaporised by the nasties. Fairly short game but at that price it's fine! Plays smoothly without glitches. [b]Don't waste more time reading lengthy reviews.. time is of the essence![/b]
画面和创意都很棒,不管是原价买还是苹果商店3块钱都挺值,游戏风格有点像Nihilumbra,操作需要两只手协调,后期难度会加大,大到什么程度还请玩家自行入手体验 [spoiler]小声说一句,个人认为比蜡烛人好玩,溜[/spoiler]
mt bom
Dios juegazo!! tarde 5h en pasarmelo, por 1 dolar esta muy bien logrado, lo recomiendo owo!!!!
スマホのゲーム。燭台に全て灯りをともせば、クリアとなる、面クリア型。コントローラーは初期では対応されてないが、スチームコントローラーの有効化で動作します。ステージによって、キャラの特性が変化したりします。この辺はストーリーで説明されてますが、英語のみで、私はあまり、分からなかったです。後はウインドウを使って裏世界と入れ替えたり、敵を誘導したりして進んでいきます。いちぶのステージがかなり難しく、クリアするまで大変でした。32面とか40面とか。 値段も安くて、かなり楽しめました、お薦めです。
