The minimalist art and smooth controls scream indie polish !!!Beware! Perfect for quick thrills..... 9.5/10.1 found this helpful
Super cool game about navigating mazes of increasing difficulty. The art style is really inspired bringing me back some nostalgia for other times. The game is challenging but fair, the music is spot on and the arcade mode is addicting and will leave you playing for hours on end. Its fairly short but its a must play at this price point.1 found this helpful
Incredibily fun. Very well thought out levels, nice balanced gameplay. Even the free play mode was phenominal. This game should be way more popular than what it is. I think we are just in crap time for indies. But i highly reccomend this
Review for Tangled Crisis Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Honestly, I picked this up on a whim and I’m having a blast with it. It’s one of those "simple to learn, hard to master" games that actually feels rewarding when you get into a flow. The main hook is escaping mazes under a tight time limit, but you have these Boost and Vision abilities that change everything. It gets pretty intense when the timer is ticking down and you have to decide whether to smash through a wall or slow down time to find the exit. Pros: Super addictive "just one more run" gameplay. The Arcade Mode is great if you just want to zone out and beat your high score. Controls feel snappy, which is a must for a game like this. Runs perfectly on the Steam Deck for quick sessions. If you like arcade games or need something fun to play in short bursts, definitely grab Tangled Crisis. It’s way more polished than I expected and the leaderboards actually make me want to keep practicing.
With a lot of levels that are consistently entertaining and difficult, this arcade game is a true delight to play. You'll want to make several runs and try out different strategies because there is an amazing amount of content and multiple ways to beat each level. One of the best features is the Endless Mode, which offers endless replayability and an ever-increasing and addictive challenge that keeps you coming back for more. All things considered, it's a quick, highly replayable arcade experience that rewards both skill and experimentation.
Amazing puzzle game. Set in a 80's retro world, you try to beat labyrinthic-based challenges. The mechanics are accessible, yet various dynamics appear along the journey, forcing you to develop your memory, agility and attention. The design is also very cool. Really recommend
