Shatris: Infinite Puzzles

[b]shatris: infinite puzzles[/b] is the follow-up to [url=https://steamcommunity.com/id/dohi64/recommended/1227860]plastris[/url] and it's pretty much the same thing: cover every tile with a certain number of various shapes. on top of regular levels, this one generates endless random levels if that's your thing. [b]unlimited undo[/b] is available and controls are pretty good, but not rebindable and not everything is mentioned in the game. mouse works for the whole thing, there are buttons to click, the wheel also switches between pieces (the cursor is always the shape of the active piece) and right click is undo, plus there are hotkeys for everything, including switching pieces with the numbers, or changing music and with it colors by pressing 'm'. wasd and arrows are used for zooming and going back and forth between levels, not really necessary. the [b]500 regular levels[/b] are unevenly distributed into 5 increasingly difficult sections and everything's unlocked from the start. there's not much difference between levels, so it could easily be just 100 in each batch, but now that numbers shown while playing match the level select screen, it's less of an issue. before that it was unnecessarily confusing, level 35 was 2.1, level 118 was 3.1, etc. while hundreds of levels might look good on paper, [b]less would've been more[/b] in this case. the random generator takes care of longevity, as many levels as you want (which can't be too many after finishing the original 500), but the [b]non-random ones are mostly filler[/b]. the level name doesn't even have time to disappear sometimes and it's already done, so often it's just busywork, not puzzling. and just like the first game, it lets achievement addicts '100%' it by skipping more than half of the levels. god forbid they'd have to actually do something for a meaningless achievement, it's ridiculous. even more so because [b]the number of pieces doesn't mean anything, you can use as many of each as you want[/b], so very often there's an even more trivial solution than the intended one. settings are typical 'no text in my game' hieroglyphs, but of the less obscure variety. separate volumes, resolutions and windowed mode are all in, but can't simply choose a resolution, have to cycle through all of them, always annoying. the very jazzy soundtrack only has a few tracks, it gets repetitve fast and some songs are more grating than others. the review might read as a bit negative, but I really liked [b]plastris[/b] and this is very similar, the presentation is really good as well. if you enjoyed that or you're into covering tiles with weird shapes, it's definitely worth checking out, but don't expect to be challenged, it's more of a relaxation puzzler.

I enjoyed this puzzler. It's got plenty of levels and some do make you think :) Also, the developer is active on the forums and offers good, rapid support.

It's a very enjoyable and relaxing game, mostly easy, but sometimes You have to think to get it right.

I have played this for 0.8 hours and would have been very happy with this purchase if the dev hadn't given me the key! Relaxing. I've just got to the point where I'm finding the puzzles challenging. The prospect of the infinite puzzles is alluring, but for me as yet, unexplored! Will return and update this when I have more hours.

A simple, relaxing puzzle game with hundreds of designed levels and infinite more random levels. Nice!

THE MUSIC IN THIS IS SO SO GOOD?? the puzzles are so interesting and nice to play, i love the runes' design aahh everything's really charming!! i love this

Výborná logická hra, která za příznivou cenu nabízí hromadu zábavy. Nejen, že je dostupných 500 levelů (jejichž dohrání vám samo o sobě bude trvat něco kolem šesti hodin, možná o něco více, dle umu a inteligence), ale také tu je náhodné generování úrovní. Hra samotná má pak zcela primitivní a neměnící se hratelnost. Máte různě vytvarovanou herní plochu, na kterou musíte umístit dlaždice a celou ji tak zaplnit. Háček je v tom, že dlaždice jsou rozděleny po různě vytvarovaných skupinkách a ty jsou omezeny počtem. Pokud se podíváte na trailer, jistě celý jednoduchý princip ihned pochopíte. Skutečně se nejedná o nic složitého a prakticky ihned se vám celá tahle mechanika dostane do ruky a budete levely projíždět, jako by se nechumelilo. A pokud byste se někde zasekli, je možnost si zvolit kterýkoliv jiný level. Hra je v tomhle ohledu nečekaně vstřícná vůči hráči. Ovládání je neuvěřitelně intuitivní, a tak nějak máte dobrý pocit z umístění dlaždic na herní plochu. Rozhraní je minimalistické a ke hraní postačí hlodavec jakéhokoliv druhu. Kolečkem přepínáte mezi vzorci, levým tlačítkem ten zvolený umístíte, zatímco pravým vrátíte svůj tah zpátky. Není tu žádná penalta za špatné umístění dlaždic, není tu žádný časový limit, vše se jede na totální vlně pohody. Navíc ony hádanky nejsou zas tak složité, i když časem křivka obtížnosti stoupá, ale ne nějak strašlivě vysoko. Tudíž je tohle dílko na relaxaci jako dělané. Dost mi sedla i grafická stylizace, i když častá a samovolná změna barev herní plochy může někomu vadit. Do sluchátek vám k tomu hraje i celkem pěkná hudba, ale velmi brzy se začne opakovat, takže jsem radši sáhl po vlastním soundtracku na Youtube. Jedinou výtkou by tak byly lehčí hádanky, které se nikdy nedostanou do ranku "Obtížné". Na jednu stranu je to škoda, na druhou to zase ale tak moc nevadí. Pěkným bonusem na závěr je pak skutečnost, že tvůrce hry je hodně aktivní na fórech a snaží se pomáhat a řešit problémy a bere si k srdci vhodné návrhy na vylepšení. Pokud máte rádi logické hry a hledáte něco spíše na relaxaci, než na zapojení všech mozkových závitů*, neváhejte a kupujte. * I když i tady občas dojde na situaci, kdy se zapotíte. Některé hádanky dokážou slušně potrápit. Ale nejedná se o záseky na desítky minut, jako spíš jen na jednotky. Ale to hru v mých očích nijak neshazuje.

Solve challenging puzzles by filling up a grid of empty tiles with the correct amount of predefined rune pieces in different shapes. Cool game with enough content to keep you busy for many hours! https://youtu.be/VIw6wPB9IaY

Fun casual puzzle set that has a good visual style. Definitely on the easy, 'just keep trying till it works' side of the puzzle spectrum but that is ok. The numbers beside each type of piece on the side of the board give you a hint about how many of each to use, but this isn't a constraint, there are sometimes other solutions. I liked Plastris well enough but this just seems to feel better somehow. The controls are smooth. while there is an undo, which is great, it would be nice to be able to remove individual pieces without having to undo them in the order they were placed. As the levels are small this isn't really a huge deal. The backgrounds are glossy and change colors every few levels. It manages not to look generic or cartoony as so many other small games are inclined to. Nice when you want to do some puzzles casually. Achievements can be unlocked by doing any 200 levels.
