Permanence Break

Right off the bat, I thought the puzzle concepts that are being employed in this game are great. The cubes all having different functionality depending on if they're observed or not is really cool. Especially getting to use some cubes as jumping blocks as long as I do or don't look at them. However there were a couple parts I had trouble with or found uncomfortable. The first thing I want to say is in regards to the movement. I found that it felt as if I was walking on ice the whole time. I'm not sure why the character feels like they're walking on a slippery surface, but I did. My only other issue was with level nine. It took me a long time to figure out what to do, and by the time I did, I had done it by mistake while attempting something else. I just think that the level could use a bit of clarity in the section between the Shift Cube and Hermit Cube. One other point of contention was with the settings menu, though this is a more minor issue. I noticed that when changing settings, if I didn't click apply, they seemed to stick oddly enough. Yet, if I reset the stage after doing so, the settings reverted. Other than that, I didn't have too much trouble playing or running the game.…

Game has a good premise where Object Permanence is the name of the game. As a proof of concept, it succeeds in giving the player intriguing puzzles that seems to be mainly inspired by games like Portal and Superliminal. Be forewarned, at the time of play, this game is in very, Very Early Access, with only 9 levels. Despite its short playtime, I can say that the game has a promising future.

Love this as a spiritual successor to portal. The puzzle design has that top-notch quality of giving you the right idea to solve the next puzzle through ideas introduces in previous puzzle. Since the progression of ideas was handled so well, I felt like I was able to figure out way harder puzzles than I thought I would have been able to and it was really rewarding.
