Finque

I was really conflicted about whether or not this game deserves a thumbs up. In my opinion, the amount of cons outnumbered but did not outweigh the pro's, read below why. I'd say: if you can live with the cons listed below, by all means do check out the game. Pro's: - Really cool creative puzzle mechanics! Takes a while to get your head wrapped around it. - Soft colours, nice simplistic art style and music. - Philosophical messages in between the levels. - After playing a while, you learn how to take 'shortcuts' in the game, entering sections at weird angles and getting away with it. - This whole game is made by one person. - Cheap game, and it will probably take a couple of hours to finish it. Cons: - Everytime after I flipped the world, I couldn't move my mouse right away after the landing, it'd snap right back into front view position before I could look around properly. In a game like this, that is a big disadvantage and very annoying. - WHY is spacebar the 'turn the world upsi...

Finque is a really fun puzzle game with nice mechanics and a great story! I am looking forward to future levels :-) It runs beautifully on my Linux boxes :-)

I cannot recommend this game at its current retail price. TL;DR somewhat simplistic, needs polish, buy it on sale if at all. To the dev, I recommend lowering the price to $2.99. [b][u]YOU CAN ZOOM OUT.[/u][/b] I'm putting that there so the preview of this review shows it to any potential customers. Use the scroll wheel to zoom out to a distance that makes sense for you. Unfortunately, when the player gets covered up by the level geometry, it snaps back to "Behind-the-Head-O-Vision," which is incredibly annoying. I wish the default was the Zoomed Out view, and the player would silhouette through the geometry. Super Mario 3D World is a good example, where when you were obscured you would appear as a colored shadow on all the geometry, though it's common in a lot of games. The mechanics are interesting but lack polish. The "Vacoom Tubes" need some indication of which direction theyre going, in my opinion. I agree with other reviews that say that my instincts that Space is Jump leads to ...
