Symmetry

A relatively simple 3d platformer. The movement mechanics are a bit frustrating at times, but generally it's a uniquely fun way to move, as the ball moves realistically rather than instantly snapping to the direction you want to go. This lets you spin in the air to gain speed when you land, or to roll to your death if you don't slow down in time. The camera is responsive, and works better than some AAA games. The soundtrack and sound design are great, even if the background music feels a bit repetitive. There are currently 6 missions in "Adventure mode", all of which I've completed in the 30 minutes I've played the game. They're short but offer a fair amount of replay value if you want to get the best time possible, which I certainly didn't get with my first play-through. The menus look good, but the key bindings in them on keyboard are a bit odd (N to go to previous menu and arrow keys rather than the mouse or WASD). The game is also clearly made with controllers in mind, so I'd recommend plugging one in before you start up the game. Other than these minor criticisms, the game is great in quality, and fun to play. Even with the few levels available currently, I think the game is worth the price for the replayability and great movement mechanics.

A very enjoyable game, competitive multiplayer elements and an interesting physics set used. The levels are aesthetically pleasing and the game runs well, with a good variety of challenge both in the levels and the achievements on offer. The levels and modes that have been developed are very engaging and make for a memorable experience at a good price. The soundtrack is also very nice. I feel extra options could be added for both single and multiplayer, such as: - developer "ghosts" to compete against for new skins etc. - all players on one track in a multiplayer mode - a "lapped" multiplayer game where the slowest is eliminated each lap. (almost like a race.) - more levels to choose from in the future (which I'm sure will be addressed in future updates.) - toggle between weather conditions/times of the day for extra challenge. I look forward to playing the future updates from this game and will be keeping an eye out for future releases from this developer.

So far this is a really fun game. I got it not really knowing what to expect - just a ball rolling along a track. I was surprised. It's quite addictive, the controls responsive, colours vibrant. I've not played all the way through so I don't know what else is to come, but the idea is that you are very much trying to play against the clock and improve your time. It also has multi-player which I haven't tried. It's had me laughing out loud largely at my own stupidity but I reckon that's a good recommendation.

I just played through the game and really like it so far! To give a short overview, “Symmetry” is a minimalistic yet very addictive 3D platforming game where you play a ball with realistic physics. It has vibrant colours and a very fitting art style for a game focussed on controlling a ball and guide it through tracks with several obstacles such as holes and disappearing pads. This game is currently in Early Access and the modes present while I’m writing this review are: - “Adventure” where you try to clear tracks against the clock - “Activation”, here you have to active all of 16 green panels to active the course exit - And a multiplayer mode which is divided into “race” and “domination” which I haven’t had played so far but sure will in the near future At first, I needed to familiarise with controlling the ball where you have to actually stop it before you can move into another direction. But I overcame that small hurdle within minutes finding a very fun and compelling game. It’s definitely a good idea to play with a controller attached due to the console/arcade style of this game to get the best feeling out of this game! It’s great to have a graphics menu which is very simple yet gives you enough control to adjust the details of the graphics to your computer. It would be great if I would also be able to change the resolution of the game, though this is a very minor point of course. Really looking to see more content added in the future to be able to play through more tracks :)

I would definitely recommend this game, especially to anyone who enjoys puzzle games or has a competitive group of friends! The game play is highly addictive with lots of "replayability" thanks to the level times being displayed on the menu - a great way to compete against friends! A global leaderboard would be an excellent addition. Controls are simple but extremely punishing once you begin trying to speed-run the levels to set faster "lap" times. One wrong spin or jump can send you off, which makes it very tense and incredibly rewarding when you hit that end portal and beat your best time! The music is nice, suits the game well and is quite relaxing (which definitely helps when you fall off the map on the last bend!!!). The six maps currently available (in 2 sets of 2) have a nice amount of variety and get more difficult each time. Local multiplayer is also a great laugh, especially with 4 players. The split screen and different player colours helps keep tabs on each other's progress - and you can even see other players on your screen which is a nice touch. The other game mode brings a bit of variety and is also highly competitive (especially in groups of 3 or 4). All-in-all, this game is a great challenge and I'm completely addicted to beating those lap times, which sees me replaying levels over and over. Great fun!

Good addictive fun. The game is great to play if you're looking for an addictive challenge. The game has a nice clean look, is well styled, and i'm looking forward to when i can play multiplayer with my friends. I think it's worth the money, it's a no fuss, simple game that gives you hours of fun, especially trying to beat your own time. Love it!

This game is frustrating and addictive in equal measure! It's a real test of your nerves and really fun to play on your own or as a party game. The levels get progressively more difficult so you can build up practise and get used to the controls. My goal now is to get faster and beat my friend's best times. I love the look of the game too. Looking forward to seeing what new challenges and levels will be added.

Challenging, addictive and most importantly fun. The older I get the less time I have to dedicate to gaming, this game is perfect for someone who wants something quick and easy to pick up and play. There's a nice handful of levels and challenges available right from the get go, these levels have great replay value as well. As i said the gameplay is very addictive and with the button controls being nice and simple it makes this game suitable for all ages. Symmetry does have a great solo mode but I would say you will have most fun playing the multiplayer mode with your mates. If you're a gamer who loves your couch gameplay video games then this game is for you. Highly recommend.

I'll just get straight to the point here. Pros: - Good and interesting concept. - Nice chill music. - Nice looking level design/graphics. Cons: - A way to skip that intro would be nice, so it doesn't take up seconds of my time everytime I boot up the game (I know this is minor as hell, but it annoys me, no offense). - No resolution options (the only graphic options are for graphics quality). Seriously, I wanna change my resolution because text goes off screen, but I can't (my initial resolution is 1440x900, if you must know). And selecting windowed mode does nothing (at least for me (like, the screen will refresh, but it stays in full screen)). - Jumping feels AWFUL. And by that I mean it feels stiff/floaty as hell, and you can't move direction whilst in midair; it sucks. - The camera takes a while to position itself at the start of levels (way longer than it should imo). - There isn't enough content for this to be worth £5+ if you ask me (£2 or £3 or so as the max I'd say). I WANT to like this game, but the jumping is my main concern about this, and it just hinders the entire experience for me. I understand that the game is in early access, but as harsh it this might sound, I'll be refunding either way, as I don't really have the patience to wait so long, sorry. Again, apologies if this came off as too harsh. Try this game out if you want, I won't stop you.

Keep it up!
