Metamorphic

Metamorphic is a first person puzzle game where you have to collect and place coloured blocks to create platforms to bypass obstacles and reach higher ledges. White blocks stay where you place them, green blocks fall down unless there's something solid underneath them, red blocks rise up unless there's something solid above them. I like this genre. I've played several excellent games, including the Portal series, Talos Principle, Qube and Qbeh. Unfortunately, Metamorphic is a terrible game, and I regret buying it. I was actually close to refunding it, but I could see there weren't many levels remaining, so I thought I might as well finish it. It only took me 3 hours to finish the game, which is far too short. Puzzle games will usually give you some basic puzzles to introduce the key concepts, and then build the difficulty up with increasingly more complex puzzles. Metamorphic gives you a few basic puzzles, and then just when you feel like you're ready to tackle the more complex stuff...

Cool puzzler with simple but sometime innovative machanics. Did it with one playthrough and i am satisfied. Surely can recommend it!

This game is very poorly made. The controls feel incredibly sluggish. Looking around feels "off," as if there's mouse acceleration, and movement is fairly floaty. Passing through a doorway causes the game to grind to a halt for a second to load the next area - not necessarily a huge issue, except once the loading is done, it eats your inputs. Every single time you pass into or out of an area, you find yourself not moving anymore, you need to let go of W and press it again. Checking for your inputs after a loading screen is basic stuff, and combined with the slow movement speed, it just eats away at one's nerves. All of that could be forgiven if the puzzles were good. They're not. The very mechanics of the game are bad, to the point where I don't actually know how you're intended to solve half of them (I managed to exploit almost all of them - we'll come back to that). The game starts off with you placing and removing blocks to platform, basic stuff, but satisfying. Before the game do...

If you're familiar with puzzle games, Metamorphic plays a bit like antichamber, but drastically improves in terms of visuals and refining mechanics. This game is smooth, fun, and and great way to destress for a few hours. Highly recommend!

I finished the game in about 6 Hrs while being lazy. Only truly stuck on lvl 14 for second which made me think outside the box. With all that said, the game is smooth and polished... I died many times, seemed like the only way to progress at times. The game has various glitches that leave XYZ area boxes still visible from the mouse left over. The game relates to Qbeh-1, Stephens Sausage roll, and Portal mixed as one game less than 20 levels. Price Point: at $13, it's okay, in all honesty I think $6 is what it's worth for time vs puzzles. $1 per physical hour. Either way, the game was an enjoyable twist on first person puzzles.

A rubbish puzzle game, the concept is great, the execution is extremely poor. The controls are very bad and unintuitive with something like 3 button presses just to place some blocks, there is nowhere in the game that tells you what controls are outside of the brief tutorial introducing them and they cannot be rebound. There are also multiple bugs such as visual glitches and block dispensers not working requiring you to suicide. What is a deal killer for me is that some of the puzzles require jumps that are extremely tricky to executy even after you have correctly placed the blocks, I want to play a puzzle game, not a platformer!

https://youtu.be/3C7NBbh7Cwo This is a first person puzzle game with simple mechanics. A definite portal vibe but not on a par with that masterpiece and it does try to do something different. You get thrown right in there with no explanation as to what is going on. So far I'm enjoying it and it is really relaxing. I like games like this that can be played by somebody of any age I certainly recommend it but it is rather pricey for a game that has under 5 hours gameplay. It would be nice to see more levels for it or maybe an editor!

I really liked the concept of this game and visual style. I really tried to enjoy it. But, well, I guess it's too much. I liked music, a lot of visual elements that were borrowed from Portal series. First issue I had with it -- mechanics offer some interesting ideas, whole gameplay is somehow alike Portal, Grappling Hook (small portal-like indie game, it's pretty much alike it in visual style as well) and Antichamber. I don't have anything against core gameplay and mechanics, but level design is just... ugh. It feels like levels were built not around mechanics, but more around unexpected "tricks", so it feels more like bug abuse. Altho, it's not the main problem. The game is still great and I'd like to say that it's around 7.5/10, but it's unplayable. I've completed around 10 levels out of 12-16 (can't remember actual numbers, but the idea is that I was close to the end) and on every level (except the first one) I've had an issue in every room. Starting from lost blocks, inability to...

I played and beat this game in 2.6 hours and that was with resetting some levels halfway through them because of glitches. The game is not very optimized in the sense of the guns at least in my case. For example when I died and got reset turning around was wonky but after 3 seconds it fixed itself. Also I suggest you don't Alt Tab because sometimes it freezes and won't put you back in BUT also acts like your mouse is still in game which can be hard to close the game or really do anything else because... the mouse is locked in a full screen game thats frozen. There are 2 levels where you have to make some sort of weird bridge to get across, but you have half the area to do it. These were the levels that took me the longest to figure out and one of them was pretty much luck on the physics/gravity. Overall the puzzles were mostly good, a couple I feel like I cheated but I am not sure. But because of how buggy/glitchy this game was and how short it was I can't recommend it for full pr...

Metamorphic is a solid but short first person physics puzzle game. I bought it as I've seen some Let's Play and had a good few hours playing it. The levels are challenging and interesting designed but some are a bit confusing with no hints at all where to go. There is no underlying story as far as I understood. I'd recommend the game, especially when it's on sale. I bought the game at full price and I don't regret it. :)
