Panmorphia LITE

I really wanted to like this game. It has great potential but was not designed well. Clues are poor or not present at all, required actions are very often counterintuitive and illogical, and items to find are frequently invisible. Navigation is different in practically every scene.... some have a back button, some have an X button, some need tapping at the bottom of the screen, some at the side.... it's very confusing. You can play in easy mode which will help you find things, but then the challenge is compromised. There's a hint system but it gives you answers, not hints. Still, you need it because at so many places the next step is so obscure and you're left clueless... literally. Two stars for beautiful graphics, a very good concept and pretty music. But minus three for the awkward, incomprehensible, and inelegant gameplay. I bought the whole game but it was a disappointment. It could have been good with some more expert design. UPDATE: Much of the awkward gameplay has been updated and the game flows more easily now. Navigation is easier to understand. I replayed and it all went much better. The game has some beautiful aspects. It's a lovely world to spend some time in.

Fun game, but without the clue in the game, a number of things were too odd of solutions to be figured out on ones own wit. Puzzles should make sense to some degree, not have some arbitrary solution. Good enough for the kids, but yes, pretty short, took about 2 hours.

It’s good finally to see a game that needs a bit more thinking rather than just clicking mouse buttons. Everybody nowadays is used to do things like robots. Well in this game you have to have some brains and be able to use them. Great job, great graphics. Keep up the good work.

I bought this game because of my love for games like Myst and Riven. It's similar in terms of graphics, finding objects, and understanding clues, but simpler. I enjoyed it despite some awkward controls (I got used to it's quirks pretty quickly). HOWEVER! As soon as I neared the conclusion of the game, I found myself wondering around pointlessly trying to solve the final puzzle. I needed to use the hint system a lot more than I would have preferred due to a sudden change in how solutions were typically solved in this game. It was as if the creators needed it to go on for a bit longer and decided to put the player in a wild goose chase! I couldn't wait for it to be over. $2.00, though. I guess it was fun up until then.

No matter where you touch it takes you to the next screen. Can’t even look for anything because it’s automatically the next screen. Impossible to do anything. Don’t waist your time on this one
