Palallel

great wee puzzle game

[i] My Experience [/i] Although my co-op partner and I don't have the most patience when it comes to puzzle-platformers and they are generally never among our favorite games, it's nice to put a little work into one that is well-constructed from time to time between other games/campaigns. For the last few weeks, [b]Palallel[/b] has been our puzzle-platformer of choice. Each time we'd get online to play games, we'd complete one of its eight worlds. We found the "chalkboard" aesthetic to be fun, and were surprised to find that we could see nothing of the other player's screen. Players can move objects between their screens, but their two blocky characters will never meet. This means that there's quite a bit of, "Hey, if I do this, does that do anything on your end?" - don't get me wrong though, it's a good time. We found the concepts presented by the game to be clever, and the chaotic physics levels (can be seen at :31 into the first game trailer) to be hilarious. Our main issue with the game came with the levels that were more about platforming than puzzling. With these, the issue was more in the execution than in figuring out what to do. We stopped playing on the 11th level of the seventh world (can actually be seen in the trailer at :25 in), which involves bouncing from one box to another to reach a switch. Neither of the boxes (nor the boxes stacked together) can hold your character's weight, so you can only just touch them before bouncing off. I only actually made it to one of the switches (after quite a few attempts), and my fingers weren't in the right place on my controller to hit the switch. At this point, we decided to leave [b]Palallel[/b] here and go play something else. It would've been nice to finish the game, but I just don't think I possess the patience and persistence to make it happen. However, I must say that overall I was left with a positive impression of the game. It's well-designed and a great deal for the price (especially on sale).

A cute little puzzle game for you and a friend to take a break. Fantastic game for all you gamers out there who somehow managed to find a friend.

NICE

really fun coop game, can get a little frustrating and requires good communication and problem solving skills :)

I swear the puzzle hieroglyphics make no sense at first but communication is key. LOL
