About This Game

Betelgeuse is a mind-bending puzzle game where simple rules create complicated puzzles. At the beginning it should be easy for everyone, but later on it's getting really challenging. It consists of six chapters where rules are completely different. Prepare for 360 puzzles in 18 chapters in total and at least 10 hours of gameplay.

Betelgeuse is also name of a star in Orion constellation. A star that will probably explode soon forming a supernova. Your task is to activate the mechanism that will lead to it.

Really intresting logic game. Game have tons of levels with many diffrent mechanics, each of them force to to think in diffrent way. Even if you played in similar games I think you can easy find levels which stops you for a while ;) But don't be worry if you are fresh with puzzle games, you will start with quite easy introduction to each mechanics.

Betelgeuse is a classic example of a puzzle game done right. It doesn't pretend to be anything more than that - so if you're looking for an interesting plot with plot twists within other plot twists, I think you've taken a wrong turn. The amount of puzzles here is a bit overwhelming - 360, divided among 18 chapters. Very easy at first, but it steadily picks up the pace to make things interesting. Consequent chapters add new mechanics to the game, which are always presented in a form of "show, don't tell". Basically, if you like to think from time to time, then think about getting this game - quality entertainment for all puzzle lovers alike.

Betelgeuse's anthology-style structure does a lot to mitigate repetition. 360 puzzles is a lot for this style of game, but it's divided into chapters where you're dealing with very different takes on the core concept of rolling a cube through a tile grid to a goal. Some chapters you'll solve path-drawing puzzles with a Witness-like twist, others ask you to carefully plan how to land a specific face of the cube on a target tile, or deal with simultaneous movement of multiple cubes, etc. After introducing you to all the basic concepts one at a time, later chapters mix earlier mechanics more freely. Lots of this game will be familiar to puzzle fans, but a lack of originality doesn't bother me when the puzzles are fun to solve. Much of Betelgeuse hits a difficulty sweet spot for me, not mind-bending as the store description says, but usually not trivial aside from the levels that teach new concepts. It's got that satisfying process where if I study a puzzle's structure and identify constr...

Its a good puzzler but at times boring and hard near the end.There are far to many levels and that wouldn't be a problem but the game is repetitive,you just play sameish levels over and over again and it isn't fun at all.There are some very good levels and good ideas but this game mashes almost every mechanic from similar games and in the end its like trying tu fit an elephant into a car.In the final chapters games gets hard and I'm not good at these kind of games but I would say most people will have trouble on some chapters.You might think i dislike this game...well there were moments when I really liked it,moments when I was bored to death and in the end this game is a mixed bag but I can recommend this...I think....

I've never been a fan of logic games, but this one got me right from the start. At the begining it's pretty simple, but it gets more and more complex with time. What I personally like about this one is that when new mechanics are implemented, the game doesn't tell you exacly what new things do, you need to figure it out on your own, but it's designed carefully at the same time so you won't get lost or overwhelmed. Seems like there are hundreds of levels and I'm going to beat them all someday ;)

Although it may seem simple at first, it will certainly be a challenge for you and keep you engaged as puzzles become more and more complicated. While understanding the basics is quick and intuitive, you'll soon be thinking a few steps ahead if you don't want to fall into an abyss! I strongly recommend this nicely crafted game!

Quite nice game. Has a lot of unique mechanics in each chapter, which means that every puzzle needs different approach. You can complete them simultaneously, so you won't get overwhelm by a single riddle.
