About Sphoxie
Sphoxie is a physics based rolling ball adventure game, in it you must help the little spiky dude get back home after being sucked into a portal that has taken him into a strange unfamiliar boxy world full of many perils and strange boxy creatures. You must take control of the little dude, his spikes are not just for decoration, they help him climb up certain walls and steep slopes so you can collect the four red cubes in each of 24 levels to open the exits to be able to access all 3 different worlds.
Time is life and in Sphoxie this is very literal, the enemies will steal your time and falling of the level will really make you lose time, don't fret because time flows both ways, you can get more time by collecting the yellow and red cubes or knocking the bad guys into the ether. The little dude is not totally defenseless because he has a special blast power and by slamming into anything hard enough unleashes a powerful shock-wave that will knock anything away. This power will be very useful in the boss battles where you must knock all the bosses of the platform to unlock the next world.
If you are a speed demon there is a race mode where you must beat each level (without the bad guys or yellow cubes) as fast as possible for the top time. There are various unlockables for achieving certain things in the game like different tails, sun glasses and more!
Many dangers and obstacles await, can you handle it?

Игра была получена по программе взаимодействия с кураторами. Чтобы видеть больше наших обзоров, подпишитесь: https://store.steampowered.com/curator/32526152-True-Reviews/ Sphoxie - своеобразный 3D-платформер, в котором необходимо добраться из одной точки в другую, собирая по пути кристаллы и квадраты, которые влияют на законченность уровня. При этом нельзя падать с платформ, иначе сократится время на прохождение уровня. А упасть здесь очень просто. Шарик, которым приходится управлять, слишком чувствительно реагирует на прикосновения к клавиатуре. В итоге он летает из стороны в сторону. Из-за этого легко потерять управление. Помимо этого, существуют проблемы с камерой. Никак не получается крутить камерой на 360 градусов, угол всё время получается ограничен, из-за чего порой нельзя увидеть, куда катиться стоит. Также можно двигать камеру, зажав левую кнопку мыши, однако в данном случае появляется риск свернуть игру до оконного вида, из-за чего приходится выходить из игры сочетанием Alt+F4. Графика и звук на средне-приятном уровне. Хотя не хватает работы над оптимизацией, случаются иногда проблемы с частотой кадров. Геймплей: 6 Графика: 7 Звук и музыка: 6 Интерфейс и управле…6 found this helpful

I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing. Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side. With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could play WITH ONE HAND while recovering. Somehow, I stumbled upon this game and read some of the comments. I decided it was worth a try... I must admit I didn't beat the game, nor did I play as much as some of y…3 found this helpful
Sphoxie is a pretty cool and neat "puzzler". Sure, there is no big story within the game since it's a indie puzzler, but you don't need a big story here. You will get a little intro which will tell you that you need to... Anyways! The gameplay is really fun to be honest. It isn't that easy but at the other hand it isn't too hard, at least for me. The difficulty slowly raises with new elements in new levels. At some points you maybe will struggle - but it's more a motivation than something dissappointing. Further the game has its own nice look. I personally like it. It's somehow a "pixel art" with a beautiful touch. The game only consists a few colorus - but they harmonize pretty good. Also the game has a really relaxing soundtrack. If you combine all those factors you will get Sphoxie - And with Sphoxie you will get a nice and neat puzzler. Totally worth those few bucks.2 found this helpful
Leapt for beer, landed hugging the cat. Now he thinks I am his bro. Levels feel like my fridge: open it hundred times, fresh cheese every run. Would score ten but I cannot purr.1 found this helpful
