[list][*][b][h1]Morlan's shorts:[/h1][/b][/list] I'd call it the third installation of the gray-avertion from this dev's library but, surprisingly enough, this time it's black and red that we don't like, but it's the same "universe" so to speak.. and all happening in a turn based-puzzle-platformy style!

The graphics are again as minimal as it gets but effective and the music is once again quite nice and fitting. The levels start easy and get progressively harder. [b]Up arrow![/b].

The description was appealing, but the programming quickly became tedious. It felt like Trackamania, but if one were forced to input all their moves first and then watch the game's quirky physics ruin your predictions …and if there were moving death traps. Or like aligning a website layout for a school project back before the CSS3+HTML5 revolution. As for game mechanics: The traps' moves are not shown beforehand, the player's jump height is _slightly over_ two blocks and jump/drop trajectiories are quite arbitrary, which makes the game a marathon of trial and error, where some throws at the goal succeed despite a clearly visible overlap of green and red squares. As for UX: The game tries to do an invisible tutorial, as many similar puzzle games of minimalistic aesthetics, but IMHO it fails to deliver due to both basic mechanics and tight levels being too annoying for the player to think of in-air double jumping (with even more unpredictable trajectories). Only from a community guide I learned (or got reminded — but do not expect me to remember obscure controls after a month) that there are weird keyboard shortcuts for editing the sequence, assuming knowledge of another shortcut t…

fun game, but very difficult!

Enjoyed the gameplay and finished the game in just over an hour. Frustratingly I had to play wipe my progress and play the game again to all the achievements as they glitched for some reason first time around, but 'hundroed' it in the end.

Pretty good for the price if you like calm puzzle games then you should get it. Warning tho you have to use your brain for this haha.

cheap and nice
