Rayon Riddles - Rise of the Goblin King

It's a charming and amusing game, akin to the old Gobliiins series but in 3D. Unfortunately, the levels are individually long (easily needing 1+ hour,) and no saving is either allowed or automated. If you quit mid-level, you'll have to restart from scratch. The lazy amateurs who coded that think their botch is surmountable by players with mountains of free time; they put the burden on us. But as usual Murphy couldn't miss the chance to rush in and enforce its law: the game systematically freezes at the same point far into a level, and several retries lead to the same result. Way too deep into the level to waste time looking for workarounds that probably don't exist. Game over forced by game-breaking bug. They'd rather discount it than fix it.

Not much to say about this game; it's a silly, jolly puzzle solving game with unique aesthetic and some fun ideas, developed by a small studio who clearly worked hard on it. You play as a group of up to three goblins, each with their own unique abilities, and use them to solve puzzles. Most are pretty straightforward, though a number have multiple solutions, making it fun to explore and experiment, with a bunch of achievements that encourage finding some of those extra options. While it has a few outstanding bugs and some performance dips here and there, if you're looking for a casual, fun, easy-going, kinda weird puzzle game, give it a shot! And if you get stuck, I've completed a guide to all achievements (look for the level completion achievements for brief walkthroughs to each level). Lastly, thanks to Kyle Bosman of the Easy Allies for introducing me to this game in his stream of it. Do yourself a favour and go check him and the other allies out on YouTube!

PAID: $2.99 on sale. Good value for the money. HARDWARE: i5 3570, Win10x64, 16MB, GTX 1070, SSD. Ran smoothly. Load screens might be a little long on a standard HDD. A demo is available. A simple, inoffensive and cute puzzle game, in which you control 3 goblins with different abilities to get through a series of story-linked environment puzzles (escape the level by crafting X to fix Y to get past Z kind of thing, with increasing number of steps to get past in each level as the game progresses). The graphics are primitive but deliberately so, with a sort of claymation-esque look to the models though it's a 3D game. As an adult and experienced gamer, I didn't find it particularly challenging, but it's fun and has some good slapstick humor. There's a narrator who comments on your actions, who sounds a lot like David Warner (Evil from Time Bandits, Jon Irenicus from Baldur's Gate II). He had the presence of mind to correct some of the obvious grammatical errors in the written text, whi...

I played this game in my fds home using his account so it should shows 0 hour pros - fun - relaxing - suitable for all ages - good balance between puzzle diffculty and experinces cons - no checkpoint in each level - the 1st and 2nd level seems too short, in those level there are many items advice: - if there 2 player ccok completion who cook more good food or bad food - trap that can turn others into ice - female character

This is really a fun game. The characters are loveable (Nice idea to have a goblin for a hero!) The graphics are great, with the occasional glitch. The music is nice. The levels are beautiful. and well detailed. You have to guide Tech, Heavy, Tiny and King through every level, from the slavery of the orcs back to their beloved city. That is to say, king only moves from point to point until the others tell him he can move on. Tech can craft anything, Heavy can move the heavier objects and Tiny fits through every narrow gap (but can not always pick up things.) You have to combine these abilities to progress in the game. You can die a lot, but there's a "new life" waiting after every death. A nice feature is that the levels have a lot more items than necessary, and you can walk around and try things on your own. It took me quite some time to finish, the length is good, not too short. I really hope there'll be a sequel someday!
