It gets mind-boggling once you pick up the time portal gun!
What makes it worse is that I sort of understand it, so I can almost work out the puzzles. This seems more frustrating than not having a clue.
The puzzle get pretty ingenious actually. It amazes me that people can think of them.
There are some good game mechanics that help you out though:
- you collect 'orbs'. These are traded in at help points (found at the start of every puzzle). If you are really stuck, it will show you the solution.
- there are permanent portals that let you quickly travel around the level so that you can get back to earlier places with new powers easily.
- the map is great and very easy to use. It clearly shows you where you are and where the next objective it. It's very well done.
- no time limits or pressures from enemies whilst completing the puzzles.
It's a very well thought out games, with some fantastic mechanics and great presentation (it really reminds me of Fez - the graphics and music).
I think this may be my new favourite Indie game.
