I like puzzle games, especially when they make me think. Yes, they can get frustrating when the solution doesn't come quickly, but that's what a good puzzle game does. They make you think, and think, and think, until you finish it. That's what Cavern did. It made me think, and think, and think, until I almost gave up, but then a solution came, and it made me keep going. The first puzzle went fine, I got a little stuck on the second, I breezed through them up until the eighth puzzle, and then I hit a roadblock. It took a good while for me to figure it out, but when I did, it was immensely satisfying, and relieving, because it meant I get to sleep tonight. Kudos on the brain stimulating game, TurkeyOnAStick and SirNightOwl. You did good, and you've earned these 5 stars.
Reviews for "Cavern"
For how easy the first 6 puzzle were, to all of a sudden be thrown a curve ball with the 7th one makes this game feel really disjointed.
im stuck on 7
I enjoyed the puzzles but the difficulty ramped up almost 90 degrees on the last two. A hint option would be great also maybe a little more delving into the story so the ending isn't as lack luster.
... your review makes me think that people aren't scrolling up at the end. I mean, where do you think the pic for the final medal comes from?
Puzzle #3 made no sense... Until I solved it and saw what the achievement said. I thought I just had to add all the shapes together to make the image, but you were assigning numbers to the pictures... I was still able to solve the puzzle, but just got confused when only one row had three too many dots, it seemed. Putting in a small legend off in a corner somewhere that says "dot = whatever number" and "circle = whatever number" would certainly make it more intuitive. Maybe that was on the cave paintings that I couldn't go back and study...
Since one can't go backwards (which is especially annoying since you can click ANYWHERE on some screens and go forward... I wanted to go back and look at the cave drawings.)
Why does burning the spider web take two clicks??? You'd think that you'd just set fire to it and it would be gone. Now I'm just nit-picking. Sorry.
The spin puzzles were also a bit annoying, having to click so many times. Maybe have it so that you can click and hold until you want the ring to stop turning?
All the same, I enjoyed the shit out of this :D The puzzles were tough enough to be mentally stimulating.
