Quadrilateral Cowboy

this is peak

I really like it, but some of the gameplay quirks drive me crazy, like having to wait several seconds for most of the time-based puzzles and the randomly generated codes. Now that I actually know bash scripting, Quadrilateral Cowboy's tiny differences hurt my gameplay experience by quite a bit. Still, this is a unique game with a fun little premise, although I really dislike the "multiple iterations of yourself interacting" idea that plagues the latter half of the game. The story sections are quite slow and unfun too, even if they add an interesting bit of variety and have some nice, inspired visual design. It's almost a shame how locked and linear some maps are, and that there aren't many maps that have a truly sandbox design letting you approach the puzzle box the way you want to. Out of all the games developed by Brendon Chung, I like this one the best, and it makes me reconsider about Blendo's output. Perhaps this was only a fluke? Skin Deep was nothing more than a disappointingly grindy affair without much gameplay variation or a true System Shock 2-like with multiple overlapping systems, and I couldn't help but wonder if Brendon really was just playing games while putting in the bare minimum of effort and outsourcing his new magnum opus to people that didn't care, with terrible maps, terrible writing, worse voice acting, and no real player agency.

Worth playing, a unique heist game

Unique, near perfect level design, great art style.

nice

Fun game with elements of coding, logical processes, reaction timings and a sense of exploration and confusion. I recommend to friends and family.
