About Betelgeuse

Betelgeuse is a mind-bending puzzle game where simple rules create complicated puzzles. At the beginning it should be easy for everyone, but later on it's getting really challenging. It consists of six chapters where rules are completely different. Prepare for 360 puzzles in 18 chapters in total and at least 10 hours of gameplay.

Betelgeuse is also name of a star in Orion constellation. A star that will probably explode soon forming a supernova. Your task is to activate the mechanism that will lead to it.

A gem of puzzler done right. Lots of different mechanics sometimes melded together to give great variance. Can be hard, some levels are tedious, but all in all put in quite a few hours in to this one. recommended!

Betelgeuse is a mostly-fun, sokoban or Chip's Challenge-like game, that is worth playing, especially given it's free, but with several things called out. I'm amazed that it's free, given the sheer number of puzzles, and how well-done some of them are. First thing to call out is some levels are ridiculously hard. That would be fine, if there were a guide in the Guides section of this game, but there isn't. OK, no problem, Google "Betelgeuse guide" or "Betelgeuse walkthrough". You'll find absolutely nothing. By digging around in the discussions, even ones that weren't in English, I found someone did a YouTube walkthrough in Polish. But since the game is visual, you can just watch the appropriate video to see how to get unstuck. At that point, you'll wish the walkthrough called out which levels are in which video, but it doesn't. Have fun binary-subdividing the playlist trying to find the chapter and level you're on. It's in there somewhere. So, to find the guide playlist on YouTube, search for "zagrajmy w betelgeuse". You're welcome. There are other annoyances. There's no single-move undo. Painful. Next, the menu you get if you hit Escape looks like a pause menu but i…

Игра 'Betelgeuse' приятно удивила своим атмосферным космическим хоррором. Визуально игра выполнена на достойном уровне, мрачные локации и жуткие инопланетные существа создают напряжение, которое не отпускает до самого финала. Сюжет, хоть и не блещет оригинальностью, умело подается через записки и окружение, заставляя игрока шаг за шагом раскрывать мрачные тайны космической станции. Геймплей представляет собой классический survival horror с элементами стелса. Необходимо тщательно экономить ресурсы, избегать прямых столкновений с врагами и решать головоломки для продвижения по сюжету. Управление отзывчивое, однако иногда возникают небольшие проблемы с навигацией в темных коридорах. Несмотря на некоторые шероховатости, 'Betelgeuse' - это достойный представитель жанра, который определенно придется по вкусу любителям космического хоррора. Игра способна пощекотать нервы и подарить незабываемые впечатления от исследования заброшенной космической станции, поглощенной тьмой. Рекомендую!

pretty good game. It has some variability. The difficulty spikes a bit near the end- early chapters are easy while later ones can be extremely difficult.

Boltgun 2 price: buy the sequel, or the cheap first game?

The Boltgun 2 price has no cheaper route on launch day — our record shows one listing, unmoved since September. The first game is the bargain, but a smaller one than it was.
