Rimebeard is a faithful reinvention of my favorite NES game. Unlike its pixelated predecessor, It has beautifully rendered graphics. The puzzles are extremely tricky, ingenious and clever. Imagine a wizard, whose magic wand can create or melt ice. Guide him to extinguish all the flames in each dungeon. Unfortunately, the wizard cannot jump. But be can climb anything his own height. You can save at any point in a puzzle and there's keyboard and controller support. A big thanks to the developer for providing a key.
This is a very good retro inspired puzzler that may look simple but can get quite tricky at times. The puzzles are well designed but for some reason I struggled with the thing that you can only create diagonal ice blocks beneath you. Now this mechanic may seem like the game is limiting your creativity but it is in fact the opposite. On harder levels you will have to use all your knowledge gained from easier levels and solve some really clever puzzles. Over the 7 worlds/chapters you will be introduced to new things like rocks, crates and pipes. What I liked the most is that you can enter any puzzle at any time so if you are stuck you can just move on to the next puzzle. There is also a quicksave function that helps a lot on longer levels. It is not the hardest puzzler but not at all casual so there is a fair amount of challenge. The controls are fine the music is ok and the graphics....uffff, look, I don't care how a puzzler looks as long as it is well made so let's leave it at that. I made a walkthrough so if you are stuck take a look at it. I decided to make one when I finished chapter 5 so I had to spend more time on solving puzzles for the second time and recording, you can finish the game in let's say 30 hrs, depends on how good your puzzle solving skills are. This is in my humble opinion a hidden gem that is well worth your time and money. EDIT : The game had a 2.0 release and it got some quality of life features like the undo button, rebinding all your keys etc. So good stuff. I don't like the new look of the game but that is just my opinion, I prefer the cleaner look of the 1.0 version and the level select menu looked better before. You will sadly lose all your achievements. I made a walkthrough but there are some new levels and some the old levels are slightly changed or removed. I think my old walkthrough will be ok and I will add 5 new levels to it.

If you like challenging puzzle games, this is it!! I'm usually not that bad in games like these but wow, this gets hard very fast, which is what I like a lot about this game! It's not a game you can rush through and be done with in an hour. You really gotta think and learn all the mechanics to win! Plenty of levels and with this 2nd update it's now even cleaner!
Оценка игры: 4,4/10 Это первый взгляд. Не путайте с понятием "обзор после прохождения". Здесь я делюсь с вами настоящими, живыми ощущениями и эмоциями от первого запуска игрового продукта и возможно не имею опыта полного прохождения. Всё это - предварительная оценка качества. Это крайне олдскульная 2Д головоломка с ограниченным количеством задач и без уникальных игровых или визуальных элементов. Графика пиксельная, очень кривая, да и в целом ужасная для 2022 года. Текстуры невнятные и очень пустые. Модели примитивные и неровные. Сложилось ощущение, что весь проект нарисован и анимирован где-то в Paint (я знаю, что анимировать там невозможно). Чем-то напомнило 8-битные игры временем Dendy или даже ZX Spectrum. Но проводить параллель между приставками такой давности и современным игровым релизом не имеет смысла ибо последний проиграем полностью. Геймплей так же не впечатляет, хоть и забавляет. Ведь всё, что нужно - это решать задачки, в которых от геймера требуется погасить все огоньки на локации. С каждым новым уровнем задача усложняется. Всё же увлекательной такую игру не назвать. При этом в наличии как всегда неудобное управление. Оценку поставлю негативную ибо так игры делать точно не нужно. Однако отмечу, что если вы прям-таки фанат жанра головоломок и готовы максимально легко принимать игры с любым визуалом, то если вероятность, что пару вечеров этот продукт игростроя вам скрасит.

Tolles Spiel. Funktioniert 1a (auch mit Controller!). Der Start ist einfach wird aber mit Fortdauer schwieriger. Sehr unterhaltsam und trickreich. Viel Vergnügen :-).
Ich habe Viel Spaß an diesen Spiel, es Immer wieder mal zwischen durch zu Spielen, Auch der Entwickler ist sehr freundlich, ich finde die Schwierigkeit der Level Sehr angenehm und auch der Artstyle ist wirklich Charmant! Ein Perfektes Knobel Spiel Für Zwischendurch !
Easy to play, hard to master!

I know the developer a bit so I am slightly biased towards recommending this game, but I bought it of my own accord and still want to give my honest review. I will point out all of the good and bad that I see. Pros: - It's a really cute game in terms of the artwork, I like how it looks despite its simplicity. It actually looks much better when playing the game in comparison to the tiny video and screenshots you see in the Steam store page. I thought I wouldn't like the artwork very much originally, but seeing the game in full screen, I was pleasantly surprised! - I'm an avid puzzle gamer, and surprisingly this went from easy to difficult very quickly. If I didn't like challenges so much, this aspect could be a con, but I really enjoyed being thrust into actual puzzles and having to figure techniques out without getting a long boring introductory series of puzzles to learn the ropes. That's a major gripe I have with many other puzzle games Cons: - I feel like the controls could be a little bit more responsive. A couple of times I found myself hitting keys too quickly and moving off a ledge or block, and since I also already hit the key to place a block as I originally intended, instead I end up removing the block in front of me after the character lands, causing the whole setup to break and requiring a restart. I feel like this will only get more annoying as I get into some of the more complex later levels, however it also might end up not being an issue as I play more and get used to the movement. - The first world did take me a good 15 minutes to complete, and I know it will get harder as I go and the levels will take longer, but it does seem like there's not a whole lot of levels overall. If it's really as short as it seems, I think adding more levels would make the price a bit more worth it. Overall, it still gets a thumbs up from me!
Great puzzle game inspired by an NES classic. Nice mechanics and pleasing graphics. A pleasure to play, even though it gets quite tricky. :)
