Porcuball

⠀

Porcuball is pretty neat, it reminds me, at least in concept, of a puzzle based Katamari game. If that sounds interesting, you should give it a try.

I tried to give this game a chance seeing as it was free to download and I like the idea of a 3D puzzle-physics-platformer. However, I just couldn't get it to work. First off the PC controls aren't even explained and they still show you the Xbox controls for some reason. I figured out you can either WASD your way through or use the arrow keys. Clicking and dragging with the mouse controls the camera, but sometimes the camera just moves back to where it was and you can't even position the camera where you want it. Spacebar drops the objects you've picked up, and I think holding it drops everything. I played enough to get past the first stage so I could make sure I was doing it right, buuut it seemed like the gameplay was a matter of retrying the same movements over and over until you manage to get up to a platform. Not my type of game. It didn't pull me in to where I'd be hooked on it for hours, or even choose it over another game. Oh, and the sound wasn't playing for me at all. It's definitely cute, and the potential for a good game is there, but I just don't see it yet.
