Missing Translation

Please don't be mislead by the "Missing Translation" orange-box warning, "English language not supported." Actually, the only language in the game is apparently the language of a race from an alien world, so no problem. From the Store Page, "REPEAT, NO TEXT. Everyone can enjoy it regardless of the language they speak :D", and "No tutorials, hints or even text to be found here. This wasn't made to increase difficulty but to let the player do everything on his own, "Missing Translation" isn't a hard game, but we don't like hand-holding." BUT, achievements are included, and ARE in English (as suitable.) 13 awards are listed for "Missing Translation", and I expect there will be more. It is a truly endearing game. The game's protagonist, player choice of gender, is abducted by (space) aliens (So there, Mr. Trump!) S/he is taken to a world inhabited by cats and peculiar looking aliens, and must solve countless (though mostly pretty simple) puzzles. What's most challenging about most of the ...

Good free puzzle game. On the face, Missing Translation is a collection of three puzzle games with 25 levels each, and some overworld that connects them thrown in. The puzzles typically have several possible solutions, so while thy do require some logical thinking, they're not too hard. However, there's some non-obvious stuff to figure: it turns out that you can talk using a grid that you can make lines on, and there are some bits of an in-game language you can learn, with 3 people and a computer to talk to. Also, 3 achievements are in code. And what are those vertical windmills for? Lots of secrets (the two locked classrooms contain puzzles that aren't done yet). The game even runs ok on my old XP box, though the store page doesn't say so. It's free, it's small (under 80 MB installed): if you like puzzles, give it a go! The only drawback is that it's short.

I'M SO INTO THIS GAME! Unable to sleep, your character (which you can choose to be either male or female) goes for a late night stroll to clear their head only to get pulled through a portal and into a strange world filled with odd beings, an abundance of cats, and lots and lots of puzzles. Solve all the puzzles to make your return home. For the most part, there are three main puzzle types, and three main chambers which house 25 of each type as they're displayed on a wall panel that fills the entire screen. The first type involves moving a block through a series of mazes so as to fill in all the empty spaces behind you as you move, but being careful not to trap yourself in the process. The second has you controlling the movement of multiple boxes simultaneously as they slide along tracks, with the goal being to manage the position of the boxes so they each rest within an outlined area. And in the final type you'll be presented with a board filled with crosses/plus signs, each of the ...

the soundtrack is pure gold, the game is pretty simple but also really deep, i'd love to play it again and again

Boring and repetative "puzzles," if they could even be called such! 3 types of mechanics you must painstakingly repeat 25 times! DISCLAIMER: These are my opinions about the experience I had playing this game. I share them in hopes that people who are like minded will either enjoy a suggested game, or avoid frustration wasting time and money on something I felt was a personal waste. Please feel free to comment positively, but know that anything that trolls or is just simply negative comments will be quickly deleted. The reality is, that my reviews are for people who do not own the game, not to initiate philosophical dialogue about it. If you are passionate about this game, please feel free to share that in your own review.

The puzzles were dull; either trivial or tedious. I was interested in the alien language, but it turned out to be a background feature, not needed to play the game at all.

[b]PROS:[/b] + nice soundtrack + game presentation of objectives + fun art-style + free [b]CONS:[/b] - short game time - only 3 puzzles (+ the bouns one) - game presentation of controls [b]Comment:[/b] A cool little puzzle game with a couple of flaws. The main being the limited content and thus also short game time. But it is a FREE game so it doesn't matter all that much. The art-style is fun and the no-text theme helps to translate into a good view on objectives through symbols. My problem is with the view of the controls, while the standard ones are okay, nowhere was it even hinted you could use a mouse. I know it sounds dumb but you need this in order to finish the bonus puzzle (and get 2 achievements). While nothing to cry about, it could have been hinted at least in some way. Overall a fun short puzzle game that is worth taking a look at and I recommend it! ------------------------------------------------------------------ [b]If you liked this review you can find more on the [/...

This games puzzles are pretty well thought out. some are fairly easy, while others will keep you busy for a little while. The sprite work is nice, and the music isn't bad, and it's free. What more do you want?

free, short, easy puzzles. nice game for one evening.

Beautiful pixilated black & white art, wierd puzzles and nice music. Better than most of the other f2p games. 7/10
