Ecocoru : Euclidean Constructions -- Compass & Ruler

It's what it says on the tin, and the game gets a lot of mileage out of it's concept. There's a lot more unique constructions than I thought there would be going in. I'm not finished yet, but wanted to write a review as there hasn't been one yet. The positives, the game is rather forgiving with solutions. The game doesn't care how you solve it, just that you solve it, which helps a lot. All the puzzles also provide a solution, which helps if you're really stuck. There's an undo/redo, which can help with trying things out. I have some issues though. There's no audio, no proper full screen mode (though it runs in resizeable window), and the controls take some time to learn. With those issues, the game often feels more like a tech demo than a full, commercial release. With that in mind, why am I recommending it? Because the core loop works, and is pretty engaging if you're like me and are only vaguely familiar with euclidean constructions. Rediscovering this stuff from first concepts is pretty fun, and if you're reading a review on a game like this you're probably in the target audience which will get something out of this. Just be aware it's a pretty light experience, all told.

A fun game for the right audience. If you want to solve geometric theorems digitally, then this game is for you. I love the idea, but the UI and experience can be clunky. I can't choose a specific level or go back a level, I have to start over and iterate my way through it. Furthermore, if given the solution, sometimes it's not very evident and would love to have an explanation of some sort. There are also various minor bugs with the tools that require me to reclick some tools, but it's ok. The essence of the game is there if that's what you're into If you enjoyed this game, then I would highly recommend the mobile game Eucledia, which in my opinion, is a better implementation of this idea
