Snow Problem

这种基于物理系统的解谜游戏总是非常吸引我，很多年前玩《蜡笔物理学》也是非常开心，哪怕有一点小毛病也能够接受。 核心机制基本是用棕色笔画来改变雪花的下落方向进而为雪花染上不同颜色最终达成关卡目标。因为主要的障碍是时间限制和笔画限制，所以想一次通过的话还蛮需要快速反应。不过感觉这游戏比起用时限逼迫玩家快速思考来决定每一关卡的布局，倒不如慢一点让玩家一边随意涂鸦一边看着雪花飘落，我觉得会是个更统一的体验。音乐也是，太过刺激感觉和舒缓飘落的雪花并不契合。另外就是核心机制比较单一感觉关卡间的变化不大，不太有那种眼前一亮的设计。

I cannot think of a fun snow pun to properly critique this game. The breakdown: Starting with the cost, this game is basically an old flash game (Sugar Sugar, it suddenly hit me 10 minutes ago). You draw lines of mystery solid to direct snow pixels to the bottom. That's it. The game spans about 70 levels but I only played about 30 before I got completely bored with the game. There's nothing else to do really. It's mildly entertaining for the first 20 minutes but quickly loses any potential fun factor after you do a minorly changed version of a same level for the 3rd time. It's nice to possibly play during a session without internet. The challenge fades out once you figure out that you should only make as steep a line as possible to minimize snow stacking up. The screensaver isn't pleasant enough and lacks any longevity. Some pixels of 4 total colors fall down and you can sorta push them around, you can't draw anything or make mazes and stuff. The retro aspect would be a neat feature if it didn't lead to some annoyances. The line density is determined by how fast/slow you move your cursor, even at a reasonably slow speed the cursor will "jump" occasionally and miss a pixel causing all of the snow traveling in that slope to promptly pour through that minuscule gap like a pigeon's ♥♥♥♥ after several servings of Chipotle. Game isn't worth $5, $1.99 is the highest anyone should be paying for this.
