What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
It's a solid game, but really, this is one that could have really used an undo button, especially considering some triggers are hidden under shifting objects. Obviously not necessary, but It just kind of took the juice out, and I got over playing. To any reading devs: Is it just hard to program in?
It's cute for what it is, The rules are fairly straight forward and the time needed to beat each section is minimal. Some solutions are repeated, But it does a nice job of incorporating different tiles.
Quick Description: -Side by Size is a a minimalist logic puzzle game that packs quite a punch. This game is a little rough around the edges, but it makes up for it w/ over 120 well designed, challenging, and innovative levels. There are a handful of mechanics that build upon each other as well as a good amount of secrets to be found. The UI isn't pretty, their is a slight bit of input delay, and their are a couple of odd difficulty spikes (there are a handful of very difficult levels between 50-60 and then most of the rest of the game is quite a bit easier imo). Fortunately, I can easily overlook all of this b/c this game is an absolute steal at $5. Consensus: -Solid Game (Tier 3 and makes up 35% of my reviews). I completed 90% of the game before giving up. This game has a couple of really tricky, creative, and thought provoking levels. In fact, I took a break for about 3 months b/c I was stumped by two of the levels around level 60, before coming back and finishing most of the rest of the game. Logic puzzle fans are sure to enjoy this one. Pick this gem up and don't look back!
Nice and short puzzle game with cool mechanics.
Very fun puzzle game with a simple yet clever gimmick!!
