Sliding Hero

I have played a LOT of great puzzle games. The bare bones of this one are excellent. I love the concept. The execution, however, is ABYSSMAL. The HUD is extremely clunky, and even commonly hides vital information, such as how much attack or shield an enemy has. The character glitches frequently, often standing still in the middle of two grid spaces. Many puzzles require you to "spend" your health to solve them, yet the only way to refill your health is to backtrack all the way to a save point. After enduring this for as long as it took to get NINE achievements, the game has now randomly reset a room that I cannot reset or complete again, locking me out of an entire section of the map in a clearly unintended way. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. Go play Emuurom, Gentoo Rescue, or Animal Well instead. This one is designed so poorly it becomes LITERALLY UNPLAYABLE. If they ever fix the horrible puzzle design, HUD, glitches, etc..., I would love to give this one another go. The puzzles are cool, but... why waste your time when at any moment you could literally get hard-locked out of progression for NO REASON other than poor design? I want my money back.

Don't be fooled by the Metroidvania tag, it is a puzzle game, which means it is repetitive and with no fast action. As for the game itself, it is an interesting concept, a mix between sokoban (box pushing puzzle) and a bit of RPG. Overall, It is a good indie game.

Cool game!

This game is firmly in the "overlooked gem" category. I played the demo and enjoyed it enough to wish list, but the overall game quality was well beyond what I expected from the demo. Most importantly, the puzzles are very satisfying. I found them to be a good level of difficulty, rarely stumping me for long, but also rarely trivial to solve. The progression of abilities continuously adds new layers without things becoming overly complex. Difficult puzzles gave me opportunities to chip away at them rather than trying to exhaustively search every option. The final puzzles, while not the most difficult, are an incredibly satisfying series of puzzles that each target a specific mechanic in isolation. It's a wonderful way to end. Only quibble is that the boss "fights" occasionally require speed as well as puzzling, but I enjoyed them, as well. The art is also great. It's a bit of an unusual mix of high resolution, detailed hand illustrations and well detailed but very low-fi pixel art. The combination works for the setting of his game, and both are done very well. I love all the details in the pixel art, such as worms crawling through the earth and leaves fluttering as you slide th…

italian pokemon ice sliding puzzles got stuck a few times but had a-ha moments, very charming, ~10 hour 100% on a casual playthrough.

started off slow but quickly got pulled in with each new unlock that made for interesting and satisfying puzzle solves.
