Escape2088

Decent escape room. controls were easy, zooms were appropriate, and puzzles were pretty hard.

Very high graphics, which make for large download size and long initial start up time, yet no animations for the ending (which I did not understand at all just from a black screen and sounds) or even just a garage door opening.

Each room has a half hour timer, so expect to spend about an hour total if you are good at these games (some of my play time was paused for dinner - which DOES NOT stop the timer) but if the timer runs out, you still get to keep playing, so it is really just an achievement timer. There is a timer achievement and another achievement in each room.

Really excited about OnSkull’s new game.

Puzzles are on point, not too hard or too easy.

I also really like what they did with the lightning in this game, starting with the neon sign in the beginning, it creates a nice moody atmosphere.

One recommendation I would make is the addition of a “Give hint” button in case someone gets stuck at some point in the game.

Overally a very nice installment, would definitely recommend.

Split

Split

Split is a first-person puzzle game with unique mechanics of creating copies of yourself and manipulating time. The gameplay combines many different types of puzzles from more and less famous puzzle games and takes them to a whole new perspective.

After the recent war, engineers from Epsilon Energy created the Split indestructible shield system. It was to protect individual giant cities covering almost the entire planet from armed conflicts. Different cities have different policies towards their citizens. In West Ulrage, every citizen gets a guardian robot at birth. In Hal’Tor, pairs of robots raise several children each. Whereas in Dievez, people are raised in large centers. Most jobs have been taken over by machines. People work mainly as mechanics, programmers or operators.

The Split control panel is riddled with numerous traps that will require both good reflexes and composure. You can try to destroy enemies or escape from them by using time manipulation and your own clones to distract them.

The game’s design refers to Brutalism, an architectural style popular around the 1970s. It was promoted, among others, by the game “Control”. We mixed this style with the digital environment from “Tron: Legacy”. The levels are full of nooks and crannies, which may seem empty at first glance, but lead to interesting places.

We were inspired by games such as:

Q.U.B.E.2”, “The Talos Principle”, “The Turing Test”, “Portal”, “The Witness” and “Antichamber”

Amazing puzzle from what I’ve played, my only complaint is that you get booted to the main menu after every level, there is no restart button, and that you have to press backspace over and over, instead of being able to hold it down to undo multiple moves

In the year 2399, automation is rife, every sector across all areas of industry have been automated with just a handful of jobs available to man.

There was no robot uprising or sudden change of power that was expected in the late 20th century, but a gradual erosion of jobs and the crawling growth of vast automated industrial complexes working tirelessly and efficiently, more than man could ever have hoped for.

This should have been a future of hope and prosperity, instead man is relegated to the side lines, a bored consumer, barely able to make ends meet and clamouring for just one of the few remote jobs still available to them.

You’re one of the lucky ones, you’ve been selected from 10s of 1000’s to start as a remote CCTV operator, man’s value now is so low that it is more efficient to have man controlling remote CCTV cameras than to automate them.

Your role is simple, to mark any Automaton units for the recycling program that have malfunctioned or that have hit SAT (Self Awareness Threshold), today is your first day, you connect remotely to the AMI Industrial Complex…

Features

  • Control a remote CCTV drone camera allowing you a unique view into an automated industrial complex

  • Hack devices in the world through a series of ever more complex interfaces

  • Interact with and reprogram devices and automatons

  • Converse with automatons through the branching narrative system

  • Delve into the Cybersphere, the central data matrix that shows all the accessible data nodes with a complex through the BotOS 2395 operating system

  • Unravel the truth behind this vast automated empire.

Security Hole

Security Hole

This fucking game. This MOTHERFUCKING GAME. Now this was a remarkable puzzle game. It was easily the most frustrating puzzle game I’ve ever had the pleasure of playing, and I absolutely loved it.

WHAT IT DO :

You have a collection of base shapes, such as cubes or dodecahedrons, which form various larger 3D structures. The object is to rotate this 3D structure such that it can fit into a hole which it is steadily, almost imperceptibly moving towards. Think of it like shining a light at the ground so that your shape makes a certain shadow, and rotating it so that the shadow matches the pattern given. Except there’s a time limit. Or you only have a certain amount of rotation you can perform before it locks up. Or sometimes both of these things. And also each level has multiple phases and they keep adding more and more of the base shape to your object, changing the shadow it can make. Also everything is randomized so you’ll never get the same setup twice. Oh and the boss-mode fights have a second timer you have to beat across all phases, and everything is wireframe and terrible. And also there is a

! secret world, and a secret level to the secret world, and secret mandatory bonus rounds on several of the final puzzles, because fuck you apparently.

Think of this as a kid’s set of fitting blocks, on steroids. Don’t get me wrong, this game is HARD and will test your geometrical/tridimensional perception to the limit.

Don’t be fooled by the game’s first trailer, as it is very misleading. The second trailer is more accurate to what you get.

I won’t lie to you, the game concept is all about testing your geometrical/spatial ability by passing 3D objects through a hole (no, there’s nothing dirty in that sentence). There is some variation to that theme, though. Sometimes you have to do it within a time limit. Sometimes you have to move the object as little as possible but can take as much time as you want. There’s also a mode that shows a blank object with no shadows or other indications of perspective and you’ll have to find the matching object from a set of 4 options. On top of that, each object is composed of smaller units, and these units vary through the game–you start with cubes, then you see dodecahedrons and other units, for a total of 6 different units which will fry your brain while you get used to each of them.

THIS IS NOT PACMAN. It looks like it but it is not.

This is a sliding puzzle game - there are 100 levels. That sounds easy right? - Wrong. Its a sliding puzzle game with obstacles that are out to kill you and ruin your day. (if you look at a screen shot - if its orange, red, moves, or looks at you funny it wants to kill you.

Who is this game for? Do you want to challenge yourself? - Yes. Do you want to bash your controller/keyboard because you died 3 moves away from the objective - yes. Do you want to feel immensely satisfied at beating a level - yes. Great. This is for you. The game is a challenge, with a sense of timing, planning and logical thinking you can succeed. Go for that Perfect, do the level as fast as you can - challenge yourself to get a high score.

Magrunner: Dark Pulse

Magrunner: Dark Pulse

*** NO SPOILERS ***

First off this is NOT a PORTAL clone. PERIOD.

With that said, here is my first impression (as I have not played it all the way yet). Magrunner is a genre of first person puzzle games, similar to PORTAL.

Like most of you, I was/am a PORTAL junkie. Preferred the 2nd one, but both were great. Then I played them again. Went looking for a clone, could not find one, then played some more. You know the song - sing along! LOL One of the clones I played and was instantly hooked (until I saw the end) was QUANTUM CONUNDRUM. Tough puzzles, very long game, very satisfying - at least until the end - I will alway hate the dev for doing that (no spoilers). So back to PORTAL i went :-), Then tried THE BALL - never finished it - did not have that - “gotta move on” motivation - so, back to another game of PORTAL (see, I’m a junkie).

Imagine someone gave you a Rubik’s cube and asked you to solve it. And as you are working away at this for hours you find there are just two cubes you can’t get in the right spot. Exasperated you look up the solution online.

You discover the trick is to peel off the stickers and switch them.

Now, how would that make you feel? I hope “angry” is somewhere in that description, because that’s how it feels for too many of the solutions in Magrunner. It is frequently glitchy. You’ll get stuck in walls, clip on tiny ledges, and the janky physics will toss you around as if you were a weightless particle.

Simple puzzle game. A good hacker puzzle. At first it seemed simple to me, but the complexity grew and it became interesting. I liked both the style the gameplay. Not a masterpiece, but it definitely deserves attention and worth to play. I recommend it.

5 Pretty environments that don’t distract you while you play.

The rules are simples : align 3 or more tiles of the same icon to cover between 60% and 70% (depending on difficulty) of the tiles with your color. While doing this, an ability charges up. It allows you to drop a bomb on any tile. It colors this tile and the adjacent ones with your color while destroying the icons, making the tiles above fall.

Playing on the same board as another player (AI or real player) is a nice twist leading to unforeseen movements of the tiles. The AI has 3 difficulty settings. Sometimes it doesn’t do anything for 10 seconds then does several combos in rapid successions.

Real player with 3.1 hrs in game

too little content for what it’s worth.

-game has 5 stages which are all the same. only background differs. no gameplay variety there.

-only 1 ability (bomb) that detonates 5 tiles in a plus shape. could use more tbh.

-no online pvp (not that there would be players anyway) so doesnt really matter i guess.

-AI are….weird. all ai difficulties are like the same thing; equally dumb.

i got bored after 5 mins.

other match 3 games like wish, mirror and whatever else are better cause they give an incentive for you to keep playing, iykwim.
