[h1] Review [/h1]
If you have ever played a physics puzzle game, especially the awful kind found in flash/android games, then you have played this game. It's the very embodiment of a physics puzzle game. If you do not enjoy physics puzzle games, you need to avoid this game like the plague, as it will give you cancer, and the cancer will force you to draw gravity-affected lines to roll a ball into a bucket for all of eternity.
This game is ridiculously boring, bland, dull, and thoroughly unpleasant to play, even for a "physics puzzle" game, which, granted, is a genre I dislike in general, but this game...ugh. Imagine all of the absolute worst aspects of physics puzzle games you've played on Newgrounds / Google Play, and dial it up to 11. Oh, you'll be sitting there fighting with the controls and the garbage physics engine well past the limit of your patience.
You play the game by clicking on the magnets (the transparent floating blue cubes) to attract nearby balls. With the mouse. Do I need to say more? How about the fact that if you slide the cursor off while holding the mouse button, the magnet will deactivate? Or how about the fact that the magnets give zero feed back for when they are or aren't active?
This game is so infuriatingly bad, my wallet is so sad, and I am so mad, that I've actually passed on other games by the developer, because I see the same colorscheme and font for the other games' promo material, and this game has already formed a bad first impression in my mind, such that I am weary of it and expect a horrible game.
Maybe the other games are way better. I'll never know, because the copy/paste design philosophy tells me that the art isn't the only thing the dev copied and pasted.
Don't buy this. Not for the $2 asking price. Not on sale. Not even if it was released for free.
I did, and now I'm stuck with this game cause I waited longer than two weeks to play it.
♥♥♥♥ me, right?
Anyways, since I'm stuck with the game now, I might as well see it through to the end, as much as the thought makes my stomach hurt. I'll be damned if I don't get my money's worth. Who knows, maybe I'll magically grasp the "subtleties" of this game and start to enjoy it. I mean it's practically a 0% chance of happening, but we can dream, can't we? After all, I [i]want[/i] to like this game.
[h1]Update[/h1]
Unfortunately, after mustering up the will to finish this game, I didn't grasp the "subtleties" of this game--as there were none--and I didn't enjoy it.
It took me 3 hours in-game and 2 MONTHS (look at the post and update dates) real-time, over 10+ sessions to beat the mere 50 levels this game has to offer. This alone should speak volumes about how dreadful this game is, and how reluctant I was to play it. This game is a chore.
But I finished it.
Despite losing my patience and having to spread said 3 hours over said 2 months out of sheer reluctance.
Despite the achievement spamming.
Despite the unreasonably low framerate.
Despite the horrible in-game mouse cursor.
Despite said low framerate exasperating said horrible cursor making it even more horrible.
Despite the sluggish, unrealistic and inconsistent physics simulation.
Despite having to fight with the physics simulation.
Despite the subpar level design.
Despite the unresponsive developer.
Despite the python.
Despite the boredom.
Despite my utter hatred of every single minute of playing this game.
Despite all of that, I managed to masochist my way through all 50 levels. And after beating this horrid game, I can finally conclude, without a doubt, that this is one of the worst games I have ever played. Worse than To The Moon. Much worse. Despite everything I hate about TTM, the game is at least playable.
