You might have to do a puzzle that is similar soon.Īn example showing how the tile can be moved around to interact with one another. Additionally, the game has some symmetry in its design. The hints will give you a rough direction on where to click but won’t help you with solving the puzzles (saving the fun for the player.) Although it may not completely reduce the frustration, it will keep the player from brute force blindly tapping every pixel on their screen. The game has a hints/hot spot indicator feature that can be turned on in the settings. There are definitely hard puzzles and simple intuitive challenges throughout each level. If you are stuck, sometimes you can even try moving a panel to see if there is something behind it (sometimes more than one layer). It is possible to get frustrated by solving puzzles after puzzles. You might have to strategically place the tile in the correct coordinate to each get an idea of what the tasks may be. You might need to shuffle two tiles back and forth so the boy or an item can travel between them. Some of the puzzles in the game are very challenging. Overall, Gorogoa relies on stunning graphic art and novel game mechanics to present itself as an empty, overpriced, but beautifully crafted box.An example of how the tile connects to allow items to be moved to the other tile. While I am glad I played Gorogoa, I would not have paid as much as I did for the very short completion time and loose premise the game offers. I look forward to playing similar games with high artistic value that incorporate a more engaging plot (i.e. However, I am giving Goragoa four stars because the artwork and game mechanics are truly stunning. Lastly, the music did not enhance the game experience and acted as a repetitive filler giving a convoluted ambience to the convoluted premise. Gorgeous hand-drawn art aside, Gorogoa had a detached plot that did not leave the player with a sense of mystery but rather a sense of bored confusion. While Girogia deviates from the other conventional puzzle games in its artistry and mechanics, the price seemed far too high for the overall product. Gorogoa is fascinating in its visual appeal but lacks the complexity and depth of most other “puzzle” games such as The Room series. Truly worth the price and the accolades it is receiving. The music is wonderful and not intrusive. There is a storybook and a cinematic vibe to the art of the game. The game invites this kind of playful participation and it pays off big time. There are many tasty challenges, and the mind and intuition expand as you play more. THIS game, amazingly, doesn’t evoke that. Some games can make you frustrated because of being stuck not being able to solve something. It can be disorienting at first getting the hang of the game’s design, but it is so so very worth it. They can layer on top of one another to produce passageways or access points for the boy character to proceed to other panels. Panels can be moved around, and sometimes be pulled apart to reveal layers and portals to other places. These panel images are to be explored, and the way one manipulates and explore these panels to aid in the boy’s search separate this game from any other. The story unfolds across the game’s 4 panels, almost like comic book panels. The journey of how this boy completes his task, however, is one of a kind. The game introduces a boy in search of special objects which he needs to collect. It is easily the most original and unique game I’ve ever played. This is the first time I sought to review and rate a game (the game did not prompt me to rate it).
