Panmorphia

Great little Gem I really enjoyed this Puzzle game!

I bought this game on sale for US$0.99 and finally got around to playing it today. While it provided ~2.5 h of playtime (pretty good value for cost), its UI was often frustratingly designed, with unresponsive elements and occasional brute-force puzzle solving. I don't often leave negative reviews, but, even after looking up the answers when I got stuck, I still had to try again and again for the game to accept the correct solution. For example, I tried multiple times to place an object to solve a puzzle, but it failed so often that I checked a walkthrough. I was putting the object in the right location; it was just poorly mapped and therefore didn't register with the game until I placed it just so. I also saw that other players were similarly struggling with poor feedback from the game about item interactions -- two endgame puzzles were so frustrating for me that I watched a playthrough and the creator of the video had the same issues with getting the game to recognize that the solution was correct. Navigating back and forth after having unlocked all areas was also arbitrarily painful. While you can toggle on arrow buttons instead of clicking parts of the scenery to move from pla…

look it's extremely cheap, not long so it doesn't overstay its welcome, and it has some charm to it. That being said, this IS a bit of a stinker of a hidden object. No fast travel, while reasonable for the small map, becomes an issue later down the line due to required travel back in order to shift back to previous animals, especially after you find everything and need to "charge the statue energy" to go home. Which can require needing to loop around the map more than an absurd number of times, especially if you missed some crucial objects. Frequently, there will be puzzles and item uses that make absolutely zero sense. Things like rotating some discs to put together the full image, but the image itself needs a specific orientation and will demand you need to brute force it. Similarly this was an issue with a laser frame puzzle, and the fish bar puzzle. As for objects there will be moments where the game expected you to click on specific patches of dirt or grass that have no indicator they can either be interacted with or be notable in any way. I think the worst of these being required to click on a specific patch of dirt in specifically bird form to mark it so the exact spot is …

It's a typical point and click adventure. The graphics are nice. I enjoyed turning into various creatures to access different areas. Most of it was quite straightforward. But the things you need to pick up are hard to see and you do have to do a lot of pixel hunting to find them or else you miss them and get stuck

It was fun. A nice little adventure game.

I've completed Panmorphia 1& 'Enchanted@ and I really enjoyed both of them. The graphics, music and overall gameplay were good quality. The game is all round fun to play. And there is an online walkthrough if the in-game hints are not enough for those trickier parts. I can't wait to play the next one.
