The Artisan of Glimmith

O jogo mais viciante que descobri esse ano, nem sei quantos puzzles tem no total, mas a quantidade é enorme e tem vários níveis de dificuldade pra jogar na ordem que quiser. É perfeito pra colocar uma musiquinha no fone e passar o tempo.

思考過程很像數獨、踩地雷，每題都有不同規則，配上療癒的顏色和音樂，超讚der

锻炼大脑，但是希望官方能有解题思路，后面的机制有点过于抽象了，没法学习思路有些只能靠蒙

Hesitated at the price, since it looks like something that might exist free as a mobile game, but overall really enjoyed it, and there's a workshop with more puzzles to come back to when I'm in the mood. Took me 92 hrs to get 100%. Part of that is how hard it was to locate some of the puzzles. :/ Part of that is the game failing to save one time when I exited and then I had to relocate those hard to find puzzles. T__T (Took photos of the puzzles I didn't want to have to solve again after that, just in case it happened a second time, but it didn't.) And part of that is that some puzzles just did NOT click with my brain and took over an hour to solve. (And part of that is leaving the game sitting for 30 minutes here and there while I went and took care of something else real quick.) Wish there were more difficult puzzles, though. At the end, a lot of those puzzles were supposed to be difficult, but if you've solved everything up to there, a lot of the harder puzzles no longer feel particularly difficult, due to having learned some tricks and patterns. Wanted more difficulty 7s. Favorite types were probably the solitude and rose windows. Least favorite were some of the Gemini and whatever the 'every shape has to be the same' was called (I just recognized it as, "Oh, no. The blue one again.") My brain did not like trying to mentally rotate and flip pieces to get a matching piece to fit in a different way.

Beautiful and extremely satisfying puzzle game. Highly recommended if you like abstract puzzlers. These puzzles are particularly well designed. Lots of "Aha!" moments. I've solved all but the last two dozen puzzles, and although I've used a handful of pencil & paper notes (eg, a chart of tetrominos and pentominos), I haven't yet had to brute force any. Note that the early levels include lots of redundant easy puzzles, while later areas ramp up much faster. I wanted to complete each area before moving on, but in retrospect that's a bad idea for this game. I highly advise doing the easiest puzzles just to figure out the new mechanics in each area, then doing the puzzles at whatever level of difficulty you find most satisfying, and then moving on. There are over 1,000 total puzzles, and I predict you'll be happier if you save some to return to in early areas for later on. In fact, it will actually be easier to be a completionist if you wait until you've unlocked all the areas.

正方形を敷き詰めたような盤面を色々なルールに従って塗り分けていくパズル。大抵の面は適当にガチャガチャいじっていればそのうち解けると思う。頭使えば解けるのも分かってはいるのだが、ついつい勢い任せに塗ってしまう感じになりがち。残り四つまできたのだけれど、しんどいのでレビューして終わりにしようかなと諦め状態… パズルの数も種類も豊富で、一面あたりに換算すると一円とかになるので、値段に対して不満はない。特定のパズルと相性が悪いとかはあるかも知れないけれど、それを無視したとしても十分な物量だと思う。 残念なポイントとしては、ステージ選択が異常にやりづらいこと。固定アングルの俯瞰３Ｄっぽいフィールドにステージがちらばっているのだが、微妙に３Ｄなので陰に隠れたりして選びにくい。クリアした後にどれをやっていたのか分からないので、前の問題をちょっと見直してみようと思っても、どれだったか分からない。多分無味乾燥なＵＩになるのを嫌ったのだとは思うけれど、普通に一覧形式で表示してくれた方が嬉しいと思う。番号があれば解けないヤツの正解を調べるとかもやりやすいだろうし。 難易度の数字が微妙にあっていない気がしたが、ルールごとに相性があるので同じルールの中ではそこまで大きくずれないのかも知れない ペンシルパズル系が好きな人には文句なしにお勧めできるので、画面見てこれはいけると思ったのなら買っていいと思う。

Haven't played this in months so I'm probably never getting back to it but I never wrote a review so uhh. Sure. This game has a lot of puzzles - arguably too many puzzles, that repeat ideas too much and spread the game too thin - but you can't say it's lacking for content! The puzzles are generally -fine- but don't feel the tightest or most clever and the hint system is a little too helpful/ The level of presentation is probably not warranted for how simple the actual puzzle mechanics are but if your computer can run it then it's fine. There's basically nothing here but puzzles but it's a lot of puzzles for the price, so, if you're down for that then sure? That I didn't properly finish it suggests I did not find it especially compelling puzzling, though. Maybe I'm just too burned out from Islands of Insight still.
