The Art of Reflection

Fantastic abstract puzzle game with a mechanic that's gonna bend your brain.

The art of Reflection is a great puzzle game build around innovative central mechanics that are explored quite thoroughly. The vibe of the game is very relaxing, with it simple shapes and soothing music its easy to feel a bit adrift in this game, especially after being stumped. The structure for this game is quite open which is an interesting approach, it definitely made me feel overwhelmed and lost at times but it can also be quite freeing and really satisfying to apply now familiar concept retroactively to previous areas. I quite like the colour mechanic it has to keep track of what areas you can work on. And the music evolving over time as you finish more section is also great. Don’t let the aesthetic fool you, the puzzles in the game can be really tricky, it’s hard to keep all the orientation and cause and effect in your head sometimes but that does make it quite satisfying if you figure it out. There are also instances where a more creative sometimes cheesy feeling approach gets you quite far, mostly in the more exploratory puzzles but I actually quite like this contrast as it always give you something to work on. There were puzzles I ended up avoiding after trying several times but the game doesn’t expect you to finish all of them to reach the ending which is nice The game explains almost nothing to you directly, instead it uses its puzzle structure to guide you towards solutions and then build on that idea to introduce complexity. Overall I’d say this is done quite well given its more open structure, just don’t expect it to hold your hand. The demo is a bit more structured with some guidance so maybe try that first if you're unsure or get confused early on I would definitely recommend you check it out if it seems interesting, here’s hoping I can find the will to push through those last couple puzzles

A delightful game, really well done mechanics and a collection of puzzles around them. Though, I imagine some DLC could very well explore even more combinations, plus the finale puzzle elements. :)

I found this game when I was looking for something like Manifold Gardens. I really like this, I wish there were more games with this general vibe of calm but insane puzzles in an open space.

Fun puzzles and nice environments, Music was good too.

very fun little puzzle game with a good mix of easy puzzles and very difficult puzzles, plus as a bonus thanks to time slowing down during travel, even someone like me who is rather slow to aim could zip around quite easily. i liked playing it when it was a next-fest demo, and i loved reaching the ending after it got released.

재밌습니다 거울이 머리 아프긴 한데 그렇게 어렵진 않아요

Good game, I recommend it for people who like spatial puzzles. Some are easy, some are hard, and some are very hard. So hard I had to find a guide online. Its one of those games that rewires your brain a bit, to the point where you surprise yourself with how you solved the puzzle.
