Tile Rider

Tile Rider puts you in control of a small car armed with nothing at first, but as the game progresses you unlock a Magnet, a weapon and a boost. You are thrown into a level which kinda resembles being a mouse hunting the cheese in the maze, the object is simple you have to solve puzzles in order to reach the finish line. Some levels mix up the gameplay by throwing races, escorts and chases. As well as trying to find out where the exit is, you have collectables to find in a level with some being tucked away corners and out of sight spots. At it's core the game reminds me of Micro Machines mixed with Robotwars and that's a fantastic thing, the levels and puzzles feel satisfying and not too challenging. There were some moments I did get confused and one or two times when the game actually felt too hard to me, you only get 4 lives per level it (some only give 1) and the checkpoints can be a bit far apart but the levels aren't long so replaying doesn't feel that bad. The game is only a couple hours long, but for the price I'd say it's definitely worth looking into if you're into puzzle games. I was very surprised, but smiled a couple times during the game because it has some nice elem…

I've just started playing, and am only several levels in, but since this game is new, I felt something should be said. Simply a REALLY fun, interesting, challenging game, especially for such a low price. I plan to revisit this review soon, but I strongly suggest getting this game. As interesting as the early levels are, I can only imagine the further levels are really challenging, but so much fun that even losing (as a normal part of the process) isn't really so bad. Each level adds really clever new features. The music in Tile Rider is absolutely TOP NOTCH. As well, it makes for some great Drive Any Track tunes, with full credit for each wonderful song (a welcome rarity for a game soundtrack.) For a game this price, one can hardly go wrong.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdS-uYqo3Lw Tile Rider is a puzzle game that seems very simple on the surface but is actually a very clever indie title. Will this be enough to keep you captivated? Let's find out in the Tile Rider review. In Tile Rider you control a small car where you get from point A to point B avoiding any obstacles and obstructions along the way. It's easy enough at first, but the complexity quickly ramps up. The game begins introducing moving boxes, teleports, buzz saws, and turret drones. The puzzles have intelligent design as the game introduces you to a concept to get your feet wet and then begins to challenge you by significantly increasing the difficulty. The game almost never stops throwing new mechanics at you which is why I can't go in depth in to any one puzzle in this review. It requires you to actively solve problems on each level. Each level even has a few bonus collectibles for the completionists out there. The game really begins to pick up when you get access to the magnetic grapple. Now you have to move different elements while avoiding hazards and continuing to progress. Levels are super short, you can beat each one in about a minut…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWxMqj9M2vQ I nearly gave Tile Rider a positive review based on it's excellent technical execution alone, but there wasn't much that impressed me besides it. I found the gameplay and puzzles to be easy, bland and forgettable despite their wide variety. The look of the game and music also lacked any charm that may have helped made the game more memorable or engaging. Pros -No bugs found -Controls well -Clear tutorial -Wide Variety of puzzles and gameplay Cons -Graphics are uninspired -Music is mind numbing -Gameplay is too easy -None of the wide variety of levels is particularily compelling DISCLAIMER: Review is based on approx. 1 hour of gameplay.

What do you get when you combine a puzzle game with the adrenaline rush of racing action? That, my friends, would be Tile Rider. I would never have imagined that this seemingly hectic mishmash of gaming genres could possibly work when combined together. And although I was initially devastatingly poor and became frustrated with the game I quickly learned the basic mechanics much to my amusement and was able to progress into the game with relative ease. I don’t nearly expect more patient people to have trouble with this game as I did because my mistake was in rushing from screen to screen and really just not even taking a second to look at the instructions which are displayed quite well. The Steam description, below, does a good job of explaining the object of the game. Though the developers have described the game as an adventure game I have to take slight umbrage to this. The description makes the claim that each level is a ‘tiny adventure.’ This would be true to the point that each micro level in any other puzzle game, for example each level of Peggle Deluxe would be considered to be its own adventure. I don’t think that’s right because there isn’t any story building – it’s just …

It looks nice, but it's bland and boring.
