The Magic of Three

⠀

This is a very good puzzler with some lite platforming, you have to connect 3 stones or more and get to the end of the level. Getting to the end of the level is easy but getting to the end while collecting all the orbs and scoring enough points requires lot of planning and isn't that easy, well at least it wasn't easy for me. I am not good at these kind of puzzles...correction....I am awful but I 100 % ed half of the levels. That being said I can't find a single thing to complain about. Levels are well designed, the mechanics are smartly implemented all good stuff that puzzlers are about are here. This is (sadly) a buried gem, it is always a shame to see quality games such as this one buried under tons of garbage on steam. Big recommendation, really good and complex game.

This was actually a really enjoyable game with several really nifty designs. Now, I have been quite wary of puzzle platformers because too many put too much weight on the platformer part, requiring very precise movements and timing. And in many cases, my progress is halted by those (which I am horrible at) instead of figuring out the puzzles (which I am often good enough at). This game is pure puzzle: the action takes place on 2D platforms but no need to worry about timing or managing to execute precise jumps and tumbles to get things done. The game is something of a combination of sokoban and match-3 on a platformer: move colored blocks (and some other elements) to get three in a line, making them disappear, so you can collect collectables and move further on the level. Familiar mechanisms, but the combination and how it is done here is great. And even though the 27 levels unlock one by one, at later stages I could basically force through the level ignoring the collectables and most of the puzzles to get to the next one, and return to solve the level properly later. It's not a very long game but getting all the collectables is enough of a challenge (at 5 hours I've seen all t…

A very satisfying experience. Do not miss this, if you enjoy pure puzzle games. This is absolutely not a typical "match three" game with a randomised set of tiles. This game has a sokoban-like element to it: movement is tile-based, and objects can be pushed but not pulled. It is possible to work oneself into a corner - as the Golem cannot jump - but the game features a rewind system which allows going as far back as the beginning of the current level, should you so desire. Additionally, throughout the game the player character discovers abilities which allow for manipulation of in-game objects. These are: the ability to break a breakable object, the ability to spawn an object, the ability to teleport the player character, and the ability to teleport an object or change its colour. Getting the par scores requires using these abilities to their full potential. The game features achievements for simply getting through a level and for finishing it reaching the par score displayed in the top right corner. It is also possible to go above the par scores on quite a few levels for a little bit of extra fun. The few minor problems I encountered were an achievement for all medals on the pen…

This game proved to be quite enjoyable, featuring several impressive designs. I have generally approached puzzle platformers with caution, as many tend to emphasize the platforming aspect excessively, necessitating highly accurate movements and timing. Consequently, I often find my advancement impeded by these challenges, which I struggle with, rather than focusing on solving the puzzles, an area where I typically excel. In this particular game, the emphasis is solely on puzzles; while the action unfolds on 2D platforms, there is no need to be concerned about timing or executing precise jumps and maneuvers to progress.
