About BRANE™: Prototype

BRANE™: Prototype is a short free innovative 2D indie puzzle game for Windows and Linux. With mind-bending particle mechanics and 16 challenging but fair levels, BRANE™ is guaranteed to at least temporarily make you forget that you will die.

"I love BRANE™ !"

~My girlfriend (that exists)

Features:

  • 16 levels
  • 2 kinds of particles
  • Will not teach you anything about real life physics
  • No pixelart
  • Retro-stylized graphics (but actually fake because no pixelart)
  • Two modes of manipulating objects: pushing and pulling (one more then your mom has)
  • Interesting gameplay with fun gimmicks
  • Erm, has an options menu I guess
  • Linux support (I know its literally in the first sentence but maybe you forgot by now)
  • Look, its a fine game. I did my best.
  • I refuse to add "music" to the list of features

BRANE™: Prototype is a completely free tile matching puzzle game with a fairly innovative concept. You push and pull tiles around with left or right clicks on your mouse. Green and red tiles cancel each other out. Connecting two tiles of the same colour creates a tile of the opposite colour. You must perform a wide variety of moves under this system to clear each level of all tiles. A couple of things, I guess. Resolution is locked and it feels like a browser/flash/mobile game rather than a PC game, with the simple 2D graphics and screen-tapping gameplay. While I'm not colourblind, the choice of red/green tiles will alienate a lot of people from the game, when a different colour choice would be more accessible. While this game is free, and that's noble and shows belief in the developers game and great service to the industry, I think this would be better as an ad supported mobile app so the developer can get paid for their work and reach a more appropriate target audience. I can't suggest people put down Halo Infinite for this.

Игра 'BRANE™: Prototype' оставляет смешанные впечатления. Визуально проект подкупает своим уникальным стилем и вниманием к деталям окружения – разрушенные лаборатории и неземные пейзажи действительно впечатляют. Механика перемещения между реальностями посредством BRANE выглядит интересно на бумаге и, временами, в самой игре, но ощущается несколько недоработанной. Контроль над персонажем не всегда отзывчив, что порой приводит к раздражающим падениям и застреваниям. Боевая система, хотя и предлагает разнообразие вооружения, кажется довольно однообразной. Противники не отличаются особым интеллектом, и тактика "стреляй и беги" часто является самой эффективной. Сюжетная линия в прототипе представлена обрывочно, и хотя заявлены амбициозные цели, пока сложно судить о ее потенциале. В целом, 'BRANE™: Prototype' - это перспективный, но сырой проект. Визуальная составляющая и оригинальная концепция вселяют надежду, однако требует серьезной доработки геймплея и боевой системы, чтобы игра стала действительно выдающейся. Пока что это любопытный эксперимент, за которым стоит следить.

2/10, music sounds like someone forgot to remove their hands from pressing keys on a synth and the game has some strange physics to go along with lack of game content.
