XOB

This game is kind of mean. To be fair, I am kind of dense. It's a puzzle game in which you move a little box around by tilting the screen. Gravity applies - try to avoid flying off into the void, it probably doesn't have the same pretty rainbow colours as the levels. The concept is fairly simple, but there are 100 stages and every once in a while a new mechanic is introduced. You reach the 20s (it counts backwards from 100) and suddenly [spoiler]there's portals[/spoiler]. Every new addition is explained in its own short level which could be considered a tutorial, but after that you just have to figure it out. XOB is quite colourful and while I like the visuals, due to to the colours also changing - when you fly off into the void, for instance - it is sometimes a bit difficult to see, but most of the time it's fine. The music is calm and relaxing, and while the game does work well on PC I've actually been playing more of the mobile version so I can flip my phone upside down and go "Huh?" from a different perspective. (Hence the low playtime on Steam.) Some levels took me way longer than I like to admit, others were surprisingly easy and quick to solve. Even though I got frustrated…

What on the surface may seem like a trippy yet simple 2D puzzler, ends up being a lot more thoughtful and complex as you dig into its core. The game's base mechanic of rotating the block and manipulating gravity feels both familiar but unique at the same time. The sound effects and visuals are very satisfying, mixed with spacey ambient music that you can listen to for long periods of play time. I'm by no means a puzzle-game expert, but I do really enjoy the ones that click with me -- and this one clicked with me. It felt just complex enough to be challenging, but not to the point that it felt overly-frustrating. When you solve a puzzle you feel a sense of satisfaction, not "finally it's over". That isn't to say it doesn't get more difficult as it goes on, slowly adding more mechanics to keep the gameplay fresh and tricky. The only "negatives" I can really think of for this game are based on preference. There isn't a story here, or any characters to get attached to, this is a "pure" puzzle game. Though there are some bits of poetry and prose to keep you busy as you progress. It took me about 3 hrs to finish half the puzzles in the game (of which there's 100), and they've only take…

A Trippy platformer

a psychedelic journey full of wonder sounds and positive affirmations. Great to be entranced by. Highly recommended.
