An adventures begins… 1075eedd30 Title: SumeruGenre: Adventure, Casual, IndieDeveloper:BigCheeseGamesPublisher:BigCheeseGamesRelease Date: 21 Sep, 2016 Sumeru Activation Code When I saw Sumeru for the first time, I knew that was for me. First, I played the demo version. I got charmed by the graphics - artwork-like, ethereal - and the soundtrack. There was not much music, but more of unsettling sounds and silent melodies. The gameplay is pretty easy: we combine the powers visible on the screen to let our character go. We build bridges, levers or even swings for that aim. If there's a trouble, in the right bottom corner we can see some tips... but only if we solve the puzzles with the pictures of them!The main plot of Sumeru is to escape the Sumerian World, like the game description says, and to release ourselves. The journey won't be easy. When you look at certain tips, you may get confused first. I had such feelings during many rounds of the game. But trust me - later you will understand that what looks complicated, isn't a big challenge.. 1. Sit for half an hour on a difficult level2. Finally find a solution3. Execution next4. Fail for another half an hour5. Get too frustrated6. Get help with a clue7. "I am so f***ing stupid.". 1. Sit for half an hour on a difficult level2. Finally find a solution3. Execution next4. Fail for another half an hour5. Get too frustrated6. Get help with a clue7. "I am so f***ing stupid.". I really wanted to like this, and at first all was well, but the issues just mounted up and it cant scrape by with a recommend.Some of the problems: -The hint system isnt a hint system, it just tells you the solution. (Though some of the levels are so obscure in their contraptions perhaps thats not all bad.)-The game is minimal to the point of irritation and lacks basic options or any meaningful story, this is most annoying with controls that overlap character movement with line positioning meaning you can accidentally screw up with a miss click.-The last levels in particular seemed to be bugged, slowing down time when they shouldnt and actually allowing me to do things that I wasnt meant to be able to. -It looks fine with nice stylised art, but the pseudo 3D compounds issues with drawing precisely. -The sound isnt great even as little of it as there is, it mostly just played an ambient loop that varied in volume for no reason and you could hear it glitch whenever it looped round.but all of this is minor compared to the biggest problem. This isnt so much a puzzle game, youll spend far more time implementing the answers, and implementing them with an incredibly imprecise and consequently intensly frustrating game system. -The lines you draw are fat, cant be drawn in areas they appear they should be able to be drawn. -They have attrocious collision detection so no matter how much you try to get pixel perfect drawings when the line is produced it will still settle, sometimes up to millimetres in to place. -The line doesnt follow edges, itll just stop drawing when you get too near and as mentioned above, too near is impossible to tell with its terrible collisions. -Lines will sometimes be produced with the end missing if the game deems it to have moved in to a collision at some point (Even on screens that appear static.) -Sometimes they dissapear on a hazard that they are clearly not touching. There were a half dozen times I checked the solution to find out what I was doing wrong, and it turned out, nothing. I was doing nothing wrong, I just needed to try over, and over, and over again until it happens to all fall in to place just right and work.With the vast majority of my time spent wrestling with the system, it makes a promising game tedious and whenever progress can be significantly lost, very frustrating.Ive been pretty harsh here, it can be clever at times, and there are a couple of mini-games that are quite fun. There is enough interesting about it to take a look when its cheap so consider it in a good sale, but ultimately it just wasnt all that fun.. was a really good concept, but not done very well. The controls are either too touchy or not touchy enough, the physics almost seem a little broken, the character doesn't move the way you try to control.... Overall, I just wouldn't recommend it.. I felt like physics were inconsistent in some levels which makes you frustrate.Art is nice, the puzzles itselves are challenging, music is pretty much same all levels, mostly environment sounds.I would say give it a shot.. I was worried in the beginning, BUT ! the game gets u in ...................... :). A unique puzzle platformer where you can draw lines into existence with various properties. It lacks polish in terms of presentation, but it succeeds with its gameplay and is well priced.
