Pulse Shift

The idea behind the mechanics is cool: switching the gravity axis to find your way into a volumetric maze, that's neat. But there are a bunch of unpleasant problems: 1. slow jump, slow walk, slow everything. Your character is a snail that has as much control over its jump as you'd have over Superman 64. A platformer with a timer where you don't feel like walking around because it's too slow and unwieldy feels like a game that should be patched up. 2. arbitrary "fall damage". It feels as though the paths you can walk on are restricted, even though nothing visually says so. You'd use your physics bending powers to go to a platform, but your screen turns red, you hear a "argh" and it's a fail state. Why? Did I fall from too high? It didn't seem higher than the jump I made 2 seconds ago... 3. arbitrary controls. You don't have any control over the input. See, the game expects your brain to work similarly to its developper and associate "left button" to "go left", but mine associates "press left button" with "push from the left" (thus "go right"), so everytime I need to use these controls, I have to take 2seconds to think about which button I should press. You can figure it's frustra…

I got this game on Desura when it was in alpha. Since then I played it a lot and I really like changes and effort of developers to deliver good gaming experiences and fun. Game may look hard at beginning but once you understand game mechanisms you will like it a lot. I am fan of time travel theme so this game was like designed for me. Game modes are nice addition in this game. However some people may have troubles with rotations. I had issues with a game from beginning, but as it is now I am really satisfied. PS: Music is awesome :)

At least I got it for super cheap. I figured it wouldn't be so bad, but several bad design choices lead to a frustrating experience. The main gimmick is rotating, but it feels clunky. It's slow by default, but can be sped up with Control-clicks. The first person camera feels really distanced from your character. A physical body and feet would really help for jumping in first-person. Also requiring first-person jumps onto a single small tile that disappears at intervals, that's just bad. I may give Pulse Shift some more effort when I'm in the mood, but I'd recommend to avoid. It makes the mistakes of some of the worst first-person platformers, and throws in some new mistakes with the weird controls. Tab 3 times to save, what is that?

Game with really interesting concept, you rotate world, manipulate with physics to reach end of level. Can be hard at times, but not frustrating. Nothing for people that are afraid of heights, though :).

bad first person puzzle platformer with no FoV option the mechanics are bad, rewinder can rewind only back to the moment when everything went wrong, not before it also it often freezes whole system at 4core 4500hz 32 ram GF1080

finally game which is something different. Game design and graphic art are awesome, if you are looking for game where you don't must shoot from point A to the point B like a monkey and you want more from games, this is game for you. Its really relaxing and same time hard for your brain.
