The Artisan of Glimmith

Must have for any puzzle game fan. It slowly introduces puzzling mechanics and slowly ramps up the difficulty to the point where even experienced puzzlers will scratch their head thinking of where to start a solve. I especially like that once it gets to the point where the difficulty of the mechanic can only be increased by increasing the size of the puzzle it starts combining the mechanics you have learned. With 1200+ puzzles and 70hrs of playtime it's full price feels like you're already getting a discount on your purchase. Highly recommend

谜题量巨大。。。提示功能非常友好

　10時間位やっても半分も終わらない、値段に対するボリュームがとてつもないパズルゲー。 　基本的にルールに従ってパネルを埋めるだけなのだがエリア毎に違うルールが設定されていて、これが良い味出しており３００問以上やっても飽きが来ないパズルゲーとなっている。 　難易度も視覚的にわかりやすく数値化されており、難しいのはすっ飛ばして低難易度だけでも先に進めるし、気軽に使えるヒント機能があるので何とでもなる（はず）。 　個人的に面倒だと感じたのはマップに問題ステージが配置されているのだが、一部凝った隠し方されており探すのが微妙に面倒くさいことになっている。街並みを見てもらいたかったのかもしれないけど、そこまでして隠す必要なかったんじゃないですかね。

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.

Easily one of the best games I've played in my entire life. The only downside is the annoying way to find the puzzles. It reminds me a lot of Conceptis Puzzles games (sometimes Link-a-Pix, sometimes Sym-a-Pix, sometimes Slitherlink, sometimes Block-a-Pix, sometimes Nurikabe). Go check them if you liked this game or if you wanna find out if you will like it.

I've played 40ish hours/800 puzzles, and I hate this game so much. The puzzles are fine, often good even. I mean, there had to be something to get invested in before I could hate the game. But the UI is hostile to the act of puzzling and the aesthetic is banal to the point of being insulting. Plus, it's a resource hog, and lacks settings to adapt to a small screen or low-powered hardware. All this for an incredibly shallow hidden-object level select screen. It's just a horrible piece of software. The last straw was an update that changed your cursor to disappear when not moving. No setting to change it back. Want to use your cursor to keep track of your place in the puzzle? Too bad! That would get in the way of the primary colors, and it's clear that's what's selling here. And every design choice is like that. It's the opposite of polishing a turd. Really disappointing.

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。
