Dubio

Great to pick up and play for short sessions. Interesting levels, satisfying mechanics.

极其简单的规则却有着丰富的玩法衍生，兼具推演与操作的考量

A series of pleasant little parkour puzzles. Aside from menu-related stuff like resetting a stage or backing out, you really only have 1 input, and it causes your ball to swell in size. Tapping the button while in contact with a surface will cause you to "jump" away from it, and holding the button will keep you in a "bouncy" state. These controls are simple enough, but it's up to you to apply them with the proper timing to navigate each little arena and collect the diamonds before you run out of momentum. There are plenty of standard stages, and there are some unlockable bonus challenges. Some of the stages also incorporate special mechanics, such as the act of collecting a diamond resulting in barriers toggling on/off or gravity reversing. The game has pleasant audio and a nice minimalist visual style. Respawns are quick and they don't waste your time. Moon / 10

I can't in good faith recommend this game if you're like me and enjoy getting all achievements for games that are otherwise great. For about the first 10 hours of the game, this is a fantastic offering, supporting an indie dev at $5 USD. Great visual style, fantastic ambient music care of Kettel (how I know about the game), hundreds of puzzles that build upon one another, asking you to keep it all in mind as you go from world to world. Great! It was only in trying to do the very last level where it fails to cross the finish line for me. The concept is great; use all the techniques you've learned in one final gauntlet. Unfortunately, I would say that concept wasn't executed from the start. Not only are there types of puzzles left out, but if anything goes wrong in collecting 25 diamonds, it's time to start over. Now this can happen for many reasons: On a first pass, you're not prepared to solve a particular puzzle, you panic a little, you start over. Fair. Something in the timing of your execution could be off. Hmm, okay, that's technically on me. Something goes wrong with the physics engine. That really sucks. You go invisible 22 diamonds and 2+ minutes in, and, despite knowing this is coming from previous attempts, something from the above happens. Now this just feels like bad design. The Witness comes to mind with this last challenge level. Essentially the same thing happens. Your knowledge of the entire game is tested, and you need to start from the beginning if something goes wrong. But the key difference from The Witness's challenge is that it's timed, randomized, and fully reliant on the player's knowledge and execution. In Dubio's final level, you can take all the time you need, you know exactly what's coming, and you've known how to solve it all (again and again and again). It simply comes down to it being too precise, or a physics engine problem, or both, and it really doesn't feel good when the game closes your eyes 88% of the way there and then something doesn't work out, or something else you've done hundreds of times before doesn't work out. I believe I've spent about 3 hours trying to finish this last level. There were other levels before this that stumped me for hours as well, but in the end were so fun because they were in fact puzzles. I would try for a while, puzzle it over, go to another world, come back, figure it out, execute, feel really smart. Meanwhile I quite literally have the solution for the last level, I just can't seem to do it for really silly game design reasons. Personally, I don't know how to fix this. A checkpoint system of 5 diamonds at a time, but getting the diamonds is actually difficult? Revising the order of the diamonds, so that the pain point diamonds aren't so devastating when failed? Changing why the pain points are difficult with level layout, diamond position, required knowledge, or some combination of these? I can't say for sure myself, I haven't designed a game, but seeing another review on here saying this took 6 years to develop makes me think this last level was designed in that vacuum, and the only other relevant review (based on time played) also hates this last level. Just saying.

♥♥♥♥♥♥ mobile port with a bunch of "features" actively working against you if youre playing with mouse. other than that fun physics platformer that looks cool. not too short, lots of fun ideas.
