The Shape of Things

It’s not a bad little game, you can tell that a lot of heart was put into it and for the most part I enjoyed it. The levels are nice and varied with great backgrounds and ambient sound and music. The puzzles aren’t hard but they are varied, some can be completed with 3 adjustments and others take a decent amount of fiddling around to get the puzzle to complete even though the object is clearly “finished” and you just need all of the surfaces to be within the necessary 1cm boundaries. The only other issue I ran into is that the lack of distinct borders or outlines can make orientation of the pieces a chore, you have no easy way to judge depth outside of rotating the entire thing which you might not want to do based on the piece you are manipulating. A minor gripe is having to go back to the little gumball machine to get another level, it’s cute but it kind of breaks the flow and doesn’t add much aside from that slight aesthetic.

Overall a good little game to puzzle over while listening to a podcast.
