Semblance

Semblance is a refreshing take for a puzzle platformer. Shaping environments for platforming works and it feels great. The game adds new twists in each of the 3 worlds, they’re just enough without overwhelming the player. There are between 5 and 6 levels in each world and there is a special final area after all of them are cleared. In terms of collectibles, there are 4 types. Mosquitos which usually require some tricky platforming, art on walls to explain the story, essences that are mandatory to complete the game and shrines, the latter are few in quantity and they’re extra hidden. The style is appealing in terms of visuals but they’re brought to life thanks to the excellent sound effects and music. The music is usually minimalistic but when it’s at the forefront, it’s so good. There are two flaws I’ve noticed. One is not understanding the story at all. As mentioned, the art you can find is supposed to clear things up but it did not work for me. They were very vague, I was also confused about the ending. Granted, it’s not too important for this kind of game but I would at least like to know the basics. And finally, one puzzle maybe two at most felt bullsh*t imo. The solution for…

Very interesting puzzle mechanic where you change the landscape to collect glowy things and free trees from corruption. It has plenty of variety and skills without being overwhelming. Also pretty easy to 100%. Would definitely recommend it if you're into puzzle platformers.

Really creative little puzzle-platformer. The idea of having to shape the platforms was executed well, and despite how short the gane is it had a few different "extras" to this concept, like Lasers that let you use the platforms like catapults and later puzzles where you don't just have to shape the world but also the character you play as. The controls felt a bit finicky at times and could be fine tuned a bit more, there were a few occasions where in my head I had alredy solved the puzzle amd knew what to do but the pulling it off part was the problem because if the controls. Still a fun short experience id reccomend!

What an incredibly unique and clever puzzle game! The world is like nothing I've ever seen before, cute and colorful and charming! The character designs are top notch, the puzzles are all well made and take advantage of the gameplay gimmick to create puzzles completely original from anything else I've seen! Very well made and adorable! 10/10 recommendation from me!

Short easy puzzle game, art style is nice. A few challenging parts but nothing to crazy, just frustrating. can be completed in an afternoon

The game is a bit janky but it's not a big deal. The puzzles aren't that difficult but some require some precise jumps and timing. There are collectibles but not enough indication where to find the ones you missed. This was my third play through (first on Steam), which took me less than 2 hours even though I had forgotten all the puzzles. So it's more about gaining intuition for the abilities and techniques.
