Perchang

A great little game, with a cute backing track whilst you slowly descend into more difficult physics-based puzzles with a twist. The game almost feels a little RNG in parts, like when manipulating fans, or using bouncing balls, and that can get frustrating, but overall a great experience.

Although I apparently had no idea what Perchang would be going into it I was pleasantly surprised. There's some issues with the gold medal times which is unfortunate because some of the bonus stages are locked behind, but for the sale price of $1.59 this is a very fun gadget game. The sole components of this game are timing and reflexes. Since the description calls it "a puzzle action strategy game" I expected puzzle and/or strategy but it's just putting the ball in the hoop. Perchang is like one of those 'Perplexus' mazes in a ball, and just about as fun! There around 80 levels in the game which all have some sort of fun mechanic and many made me smile even in failure just seeing how the stage is set up and many of the interactions are just fun to play around with. That is until you start trying to go for gold times. Gold time is pretty much not messing up and getting all the balls in the hole precisely. For most of the game this is a good challenge but in the later levels it becomes quite the slough. This is especially frustrating when a level is actually impossible to get the gold time (stage Gold Run 6: Classic Seesaw Action). I suspect this is because Perchang is a port of a mobile game and it seems a mechanic did not port over right. I suspect this because I contected their Twitter handle @PerchangAreUs and they responded and after some back-and-forth confirmed that they needed to update the game, but have not two months after even though they said it would be done within the week... so I am having to leave this uncompleted sadly. I do appreciate the response in the first place though, so I can definitely recommend this game despite a few gripes!

Alright I want to leave the developer some love because I hate to see a polished well-executed game languish on Steam with insufficient exposure. Overall, great little mix between light puzzle-solving and precision timing. The object of each level is to use a small number of interactive objects to guide the balls from their starting chute to the output funnel. Generally levels are solved in two stages: first, figuring out how to actually move the balls to their target, and second by smoothly and quickly executing the manoeuvres to achieve a high rank. It is in this latter area where the game stumbles somewhat. Simply passing the game's 60 levels within the time limit should not be too taxing for casual players, but the timing margins to achieve gold rank are so tight and so often based on luck in some of the later levels that you enter into a tortuous cycle of restarting over and over and hoping that the last ball goes down the funnel 0.1 seconds faster this time. This is where the game stops being fun and just becomes frustrating instead. That quibble aside, this game looks stylish, plays smoothly with an inoffensive soundtrack, with generally great level design; definitely recommended gaming for puzzle fans!

Quick Score: 4/5 Notes: Game gets a lot of bonus point for originality. There are for sure some highly frustrating stages, but overall was a pretty fun playthrough. 100% took 6 hours, although the very final bonus stage is bugged and you can't actually complete it.

Great puzzle game, I recommend it to everyone ! :D

This game is a good time. Mellow, precise and polished. The graphics are really neat, movement is smooth, and each level gives you another challenge you need to finesse your way through. Enjoying it.

Ein nettes Kniffelgame :) ja man muss dabei sogar seinen Kopf benutzen

I like the style of this game and the puzzles are pretty fun

面白いのにレビューが無かったので書きます。 玉を目的の場所までうまく誘導する、比較的ありがちなゲームですが、シンプルで難しすぎない難易度が個人的には良かった。 グラフィックも無機質な感じですが、余計な装飾がない分見やすくて、ゲームがちゃんと楽しめました。 先のステージに行くと、解き方も何種類かあり、タイムを縮める要素も・・・・。 個人的には埋もれるにはもったいない

這遊戲比你想像的更有料 操作簡單 要達成金牌卻不容易 玩到後面覺得自己是小兒麻痺
