Haha, yeah, I sent this shortly after launch to the developer:
@bryangale This puzzle will be the end of me. How have you crammed so much evil into such a tiny space? Loving Induction btw. pic.twitter.com/jr0F5lhgns
Seriously, someone on the Stephen’s Sausage Roll thread said that a couple of levels they were convinced were logically impossible and that’s exactly how I feel about this one. I’ve spent hours on it too. The thing is, it’s literally one of the smallest and simplest looking levels.
Just finished The Sexy Brutale, as discussed briefly here. It’s really, really good, guys. Maybe not quite as good as Ghost Trick, but what is? Play this game!
I’ve been playing the excellent Cosmic Express on my phone recently. It’s available on most platforms.
The aim is to build a track so that your little train can pick up all the aliens lazing around a space station and drop them all off at their habitats to allow you to exit and move on.
Like Induction and Snakebird, it’s non-linear so if you get stuck you can go struggle somewhere else and come back later. It’s a really simple design that gets fiendishly difficult without feeling daunting or unwieldy, with plenty of ‘aha!’ moments. A very impressive and surprising little game.
From the developers of A Good Snowman is Hard to Build, which I hear is also great.
Oh, I didn’t know that. I really liked that little game, although the… twist was a bit too much and discouraged me from finishing it properly.
More reasons for me to check out Cosmic Express someday.
Just stumbled across this on Steam. Been around for a few years but don’t recall seeing it before. It reminds me of Zero Age somewhat. At any rate it’s on deep sale, so I picked it up.
OK, so this is funny - apparently this is the same game? If I search on this on Amazon, it pulls up the game I posted the box of above. Or else that’s a glitch, and there’s another Layton game out there I’ve never played. I’d be ok with that, actually.
Wow, apparently the Japanese 3DS version and smartphone versions released at the same time, with US, Europe, and Australia getting it in October. I had no idea.
