"Hey, we're running out of energy! To decide who gets into the city, let's create a field of lasers and a giant electrically powered ball, add a bunch of blocks that beep when something hits them, and add a teleporter!"
The E.N.R. probably shouldn't have been let into the city.
The game itself was pretty good, even if the backstory was terrible. The puzzles were pretty damn intelligent.
Well - the game doesn't take place in the actual world (not even the world that the game tells its story..).
It's the application that the government released to test your energy saving skills, not a real ball in lazer fields...
Cool idea, but the controls while completely simplistic were not as responsive as I was expect from something like this. It took some getting used to the delay to really mow this game down, but ultimately... I shouldn't have had to. So I give it a 2/5. Decent puzzler, but the latency is what ruins it, or I'd have rated at least a 3.
Good!
The game feels fluid and responsive, and is simple in concept but difficult in execution leading to big fun.
My only complaints are that:
I wasn't specifically told that I didn't have to complete all 3 stars and the time trial in the same attempt, leading me to trying extra times on the first few levels before it became obvious that it wasn't possible on the later ones.
and
I found that using the mouse and clicking made the game more intuitive and allowed me to complete levels faster by cutting out thought time for arrow key presses. Unfortunately it is super easy to bring up the menu by clicking on the screen which stops your progress and essentially ruins a time-trial run.
This game isnt for me. Usually when a game is on the frost page banner. Its sapose to be good.
I kind of expected something more than this, after seeing that giant f*cking banner on the frontpage.
