Splice

Aburre rápido. El concepto en sí del juego es un aprobado justito pero es que no tiene nada que lo embellezca o dinamice para que te enganche.

Splice is a puzzle game that’s a bit hard to explain. Basically, you need to manipulate genes in order to reach a specific structure in a certain number of moves. One core concept is the use of binary trees, meaning that each parent branch can only have a maximum of 2 children. You splice genes or entire sections and move them around the “tree”, with additional mechanics added throughout the game. Like I said, it’s hard to explain it with words alone, and watching a gameplay video gives you a better idea of the core gameplay mechanics. It has nice music and graphics, but what I appreciated the most was the way everything transitions, even from the menus to the levels themselves. It’s seamless and really cool. The game has 77 short levels, however they take a bit to complete because the mechanics take a while to figure out properly, and it’s not an easy game. Some levels have an extra challenge to beat them without using all the available moves. A guide may be useful at times. It’s a cool game if you enjoy puzzle games, and something I can recommend on sale. It has achievements and cloud saving, but no trading cards.

Hmm. Interesting game, Splice. It's not my usual fare; there are no bombs, guns, guts or pink guns with which to decimate my enemies. What we have here is a puzzler. Not just a puzzler, but an incredibly difficult one. Don't let my 100% achievements fool you - I've used a guide from about the midway point because, as it turns out, I simply don't have the brains for this game. Maybe you do. Maybe you are able to visualise what will happen when you rearrange cells, and how that will impact the structure. Maybe you understand the concept of cells and their children in this game. Perhaps then, this game is for you. The music is pretty nice, and the cells have a nice, satisfying wobble. Jiggle wiggle. Wibble wobble. Some of the epilogue puzzles are exceptionally challenging and I'm sure brainiacs with be thrilled. I'm not a brainiac. At least, not what it comes to puzzle games. Probably not at all. But you might be. Get splicing!

I feel as though it's over engineered and under performing... A very minimalist game that over designed and made things unnecessarily completed just for the sack of it. The menu and lack of explanation is awful and detouring to the common peasant. Additionally I'm seeing a lot of comments in regards to analytics being sent out? Data mining without consent sounds additionally fishy. They're better games out there, the pricing is very disproportionate compared to the content. Pros - The music is very well done and really the only redeeming factor I can see.

Sehr schönes Puzzle, nach Jahren endlich wieder gefunden und beendet :)

This was a very enjoyable puzzle game. The mechanics were completely unique compared to anything I've ever done before. Takes a lot of effort to get my brain to think in terms of shape pattern, and order of cutting and duplicating. I think the learning curve is pretty steep and you sort of fumble around before you get a feel for how things are permitted to be cut apart and put back together (and the game explains none of this) - so if you don't have patience for trial and error, you may give up too quickly on this one. But if you stick it out until it starts to make sense, it can become very rewarding to get to where you can intuitively figure out the next puzzle. And then very soon afterwards the game will throw an even harder challenge at you! So really this keeps you thinking all the time. If you like puzzles because they make you think, and you want to try a puzzle mechanic that's totally unique, then this should do it for you. I definitely recommend.
