The Sphere hat mich äußerst positiv überrascht. Die hübsche Pixel-Grafik wird von fantastischen Lichteffekten und genialer Soundkulisse unterstützt. Auch die spannende Geschichte und die Rätsel wissen zu überzeugen. Die 30 bis 60 Minuten Spielzeit für dieses Kurz-Adventure sind mehr als gut investiert - lasst euch The Sphere nicht entgehen! Sehr gerne würde ich mehr Adventures von Michael Lückgen sehen. :-)
An absolute atmospheric masterpiece of a P&C adventure.
The Sphere is a really great short adventure game. It was developed using its own engine and features a spectacular dynamic lighting system. The puzzles are logical and well-balanced, the story keeps you hooked until the very end, and the soundtrack is wonderful. Plus, it’s free.
Good game so far, really enjoying the art and music and how it shows rather than tells. Will aim to continue playing to complete it when I have more time but so far really enjoying it.
Nice short game with great music and nice animations. Loved the way shadows are casted in pixel art style. It took me a bit longer to finish and I needed some help (check discussions) but overall it was a positive experience. Hope some day we get to see how the story cotinues!
Short but great adventure game. great mood, fantastic light effects and pixel art. cool sound design. Hope to see more where that came from.
I just finished this game and absolutely loved it. It’s a short but highly entertaining adventure with a brilliant art style and soundtrack. I love how the music perfectly complements the action. Even though I still have a few questions about the story, it’s definitely worth it. Don't miss out!
I think it's an incredible experience. Between the music and what happens, it brings back so many memories of the movie Explorers. Now I feel like I need more, way more. Definitely highly recommended, I would have happily paid to play something like this.
Good game
Great fun little adventure. Absolutely worth a play for any point and click adventure fans out there. Since it is free there really is no reason not to give it a go.
