Lucid

Art style and presentation is trippy and honestly very interesting. Gameplay-wise, it’s one of the more terrible puzzle games I’ve played. In this game, you have to clear regions of same-color blocks, like SameGame, but with the baffling restriction that you can only clear a region if you can draw a path through every block. This leaves your options severely limited at all times. With such limited options for moves, it’s next to impossible to set up any big combos or get out of trouble on purpose (about on par with Bejeweled / Candy Crush), and in the cases you do, the game could drop a Lucid block in the middle of it (which are supposed to be rewards) and force you to reset the board, destroying what you built. Starting level layouts seem to be hand-designed, but random skyfalls and target colors mean it doesn’t really matter. Competitively, there are no game mechanics in place to prevent you from playing a level forever for unlimited score, except that getting stuck with no possible moves will zero your score. At about level 48, there’s a sudden difficulty spike as all objectives require regions of 3 or more, so playing through all 55 levels without getting a Game Over is highly unlikely. Oh, and no leaderboards! For a game that tries to sell itself as relaxing, it’s a bit too far on the frustrating and stressful side, and certainly not something you can zone out to while playing. Achievement hunters should probably grab it on sale, as it’ll be in your 100% trophy case in a few mere hours, but for casual or hardcore puzzle fans, there’s so many better options out there.

[quote][i]I was supplied with this key by the developer, this however did not affect the review.[/i][/quote] If you’re looking for a change of page in your gaming style or are already a fan of matching games, [i]Lucid[/i] may be the title for you to pick up. [b]The game is simple to get into and learn[/b], offering some mental relaxation as well. There is no story, no bells and whistles or anything of the sort. It’s a matching game where you have to meet certain requirements to clear each level and progress through the game’s fifty-five levels. Unlike other matching games, this isn’t a match three. You can match two or more colored blocks to have whatever size combo you desire. Using the mouse, you draw lines connecting the blocks you want to erase from the field, something I imagine [b]would be good on a touchscreen device[/b]. The issue I had with the gameplay was that you had to connect the blocks of the same color together, you couldn’t skip one. It’s not a huge deal but when the blocks fall randomly it made it harder to set up combos. The game also has “Lucid blocks” which, when used, will clear the board, either helping you out of a tight situation or ruining a set up you had in the works. Despite the game mechanics trying to be different than other popular matching games, [i]Lucid[/i] isn’t really that difficult. You can easily get through half of the game before ever reaching a speed bump. The game also doesn’t offer any other modes of play, once you’ve beaten the main fifty-five levels that’s it. There is also [b]no level select[/b] if you want to go back and replay a level. The game keeps score for you but the score has no effect on the game and there is no leader board so I’m not sure of the purpose. The title does have achievements on Steam if you hunt for those. The visuals are trippy, the music is trippy as well, it honestly feels like a psychedelic trip the entire time. While not the best game of its kind, it’s [b]a fun time-killer[/b]. I would recommend grabbing it on sale or in a bundle, the lack of other features or modes really limits the lifespan of this game. It’s a small fish in a big pond, the matching genre is very saturated and [i]Lucid[/i] could do better. But, it does what it can decently enough.

A mediocre puzzle game and one of the most boring I've ever played. With almost all of the achievements, I gave it a good shot. Every level is the same in that you draw lines over adjacent jelly cubes of the same color to make them disappear and to fill up a gauge to move on to the next level. By matching cubes, you score points and there is also a goal color displayed that you should match to increase your score multiplier. In Tetris fashion, you're shown what cube color is coming up next. The only problem is that your score is meaningless since there are no leaderboards. Difficulty never ramps up much and the game remains far too easy and repetitive. Not even a timed mode or any challenges or unlockables. Pick any other puzzle game and you'll have more fun.

Lucid is definitely not a good investment, the game being way too lazy, there's abolutely no fun playing it. To sum up how it goes: From level 1 to 40, it's almost impossible to lose, the game being poorly balanced, you clear levels as you go, without being trully able to understand how score works. There's no challenge at all, making it boring as hell. Once you reach levels 40+, the difficulty increases in such a ridiculous way, having you spending more time on the last 3 levels than you did on the first 52. Clearly, you'll get the meaning of the word "frustration" on these ones. On top of that, devs had the good idea to place a "delete save" button next to the start button, without any confirmation being asked. How clever !!!! One of the worst Match-3 games I ever played.

More satisfying than sunday night with your girlfriend and more addicting than a triply cheese margharita and 500gm cocaine taken together. I wonder why they pulled this game from steam store, But the game is no longer available to purchase anymore.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeyB_VykS00 I enjoyed this to a point. After a while the gameplay mechanics start to grate because you are very restricted in how you can approach levels. For this reason it's not the relaxing experience it thinks it is, and there is the distinct possibility of getting so stunningly frustrated that you give up and never come back, but you may well enjoy earning millions of points and listening to the rather lovely sound effects. Do not attempt to eat the blocks.

While it sort of counts as a puzzle game in the match-three category, unfortunately if you don't choose options in the exact right order (as determined by the developer), you won't complete the levels. Which pretty much means you have to guess what they had in mind, with no way to predict the correct course of action. And if you choose even one or two options wrong, you have to start all over again.

[h1]Описание:[/h1] Старая игра, которая у меня зависала при попытки запустить в фуллскрине, но в окне запустилась. Перед нами разновидность "Три в ряд", только собирать нужно кубы одного цвета от двух до любого количества и нужно обязательно использовать все примыкающие кубики одного цвета и завершить линию сбора. В этом заключается вся сложность, в этом же состоит и весь интерес играть и проходить. Нам выдают задание - сделайте линию зеленых кубиков от трех и показывают что попросят следующим заданием. И мы планируем как нам это лучше сделать. На словах трудно объяснить, но играть очень просто и разбираешься менее чем за минуту, а дальше залипаешь пока полностью не проходишь игру... Если выйти из игры не сохранившись то весь прогресс теряется, это явный минус, но зачем выходить из такой классной игры? Запустил - играй и проходи :) Рекомендую.

Pues un juego muy sencillo que es bastante entretenido. El problema principal es la BAJÍSIMA resolución de 1280x800 que tiene, en una pantalla de 1440p o más se ve extremadamente borroso, y en ventana es muy pequeño, pero aun así está bastante bien. He de decir que lo pillé en un bundle o algo, no pagaría el precio entero que vale.

Please make Lucid 2 so I can give you some money. Over the years I've played many hours! It's a great game. There are many games LIKE this BUT, I tell you, this simple game does it better, the gameplay (slightly different from main stream games), the music and sounds, it's just perfect. But improvements could be made to levels and UI.
