Mirror Drop

amazing trippy game, theres nothing like it, i wish i could play this again as if i had never seen it before downside is once you understand and see through the trippiness everything else that people call "trippy" no longer really seems like it because you have gained the skills to understand trippy objects by the end of this game

It pains me to see how little recognition this brilliant little game has. The core mechanics are relatively simple, the challenge lies in wrapping your head around the super trippy, recursive, reflective, bending environments. The visuals are the most out there of all the games I've played over the years. Manifold Garden is a very watered down experience compared to this. The "casual" tag is deceptive, this is a visually intense trip. Be careful with the dose.

I usually only buy things on sale, but when I sorted my wish list and found this on top (with a reasonable price), I noticed after a few months that it never dropped. So there's your 70% of $8, and I have not been disappointed. This is EXACTLY the kind of colorful, chill, trippy, dimensional puzzle that tickles the fuzzy tummy of my brain. Ohhh yeah. That's the spot.

Mirror Drop is awesome. If you are in two minds about getting this because you don't like puzzle games, get it anyway. I don't like puzzle games. The puzzles in this game are just as annoying as they are in every other puzzle game. But they are worth it for the environments. It is so cool to fly around inside these weird spaces that reflect out to infinity. There are a few points where you get into these unusual spots where you can fly into a tunnel in a straight line and then suddenly pop out behind where you started because space is curved. It's a total ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and it's awesome. I would have preferred if this game was a walking sim or just a general exploratory toy, but i can deal with a few puzzles for the neat visual effects. If you liked NaissanceE for the weird architecture (and not the jumping puzzles), then you will like this too. Grit your teeth through the puzzles and enjoy the show.

Mirror Drop is a puzzle game which will literally blow your mind. The core concept of navigating a shpere to 3 checkpoints by toggling magnetic objects is simple but allows for enough variety to last for the short lenght of the game. The truly groundbreaking aspect is that most surfaces in this game reflect (including you). The result is a stunning cascade of reflections and distortions which sometimes create very psychedelic visuals. Additionally for each checkpoint the game visually changes a quite a bit which is used to a very dramatic effect in a few levels. Overall this game is a brilliant deep dive into a psychedelic space with easy to medium level puzzles. It is not that long but very much worth the price. Just a slight warning to those who are affected by motion sickness.

Makes the brain go all mushy, but in one of the best ways possible.
