Snik

I thought in my offline hours I would enjoy this game, even with the mixed reviews. Got bored after three levels. It is almost impossible to figure out the 'correct' way to do it to get three stars, and even more difficult to do it precisely, within the allotted time. In the end I just ended up frastrated at the precision required to complete a level. If you are looking for this type of extreme precision, by all means, get it. It just wasn't for me.

Now this game is quite insane - some of the reasons are good, and the others... not so. Snik is a minimalist skill / puzzle game, where you guide your black dot to collect yellow dots while avoiding black, green and red dots. The visuals are hard to believe (I've just described them in their entirety), the music starts out nice but starts to loop very, very soon, and the difficulty curve... what difficulty curve? Why am I recommending this, despite all the above? Because it's fun. After a brief introduction and a tame level 1, level 2 punches the player in the face with a genuine "you want me to do... WHAT?" moment, and further levels will occasionally present more of these. It's not necessarily the best game design, but I believe seasoned puzzle players will appreciate such reckless fluctuations in difficulty as an exception. I keep saying puzzle, because with a good plan, several levels don't even require skill / reflexes. And then, some do. I like Snik as it's a refreshing little g...

It turns out that the issue with me being unable to get a three star was as simple as me clicking about a milimeter too low. That's kind of ridiculous. Great concept, the game's pretty awesome. Nice music too, sucks that it toggles off in the middle of a game. It's still extremely low that the developers gave me two three star achievements just to nullify my recent feedback, though. EDIT: Confirming it. Either you did give me it and you're lying, or it's a bug. :)

Snik is a minimalistic game in "billard-style". At the beginning I thought it's impossible to beat. But now after 6 hours I have 71/72 stars earned. So No, it isn't impossible...it's challenging!!! (Hint: You don't have to earn 3 stars in one run.) Try it out...

archievments are bugged cuz i cleared all levels with 1 star and i have 100%

Absolutely a terrible game. Do not buy this crap.

It was ok...

I'll be honest, this isn't very good. The concept is very simple, but the controls are too fiddly and the obstacles vary from pointlessly easy to obnoxiously hard. There are better puzzle games, so look for those.

Very frustrating game, just don't buy it.
