When we talk about timeless types, the first puzzles come to mind. But timelessness is nothing short of innovative, and over the years the lessons have created all kinds of combinations to make puzzles continue … well, that is, breaking heads. One of those creators is William Chyr Studio, in charge Manifold Garden, a game in which we can change the laws of gravity and physics to gradually unravel the seemingly new world from the imagination of M. Escher
The title comes with an introduction to learn that by tapping a few buttons we can change the point of gravity – pointing where everything will attract – to any location we have nearby. This will allow us to turn the wall into ground, for example. You can't jump, so gravity will be the only way to reach certain areas. And to say it seems easy, but we expect that it isn't. Not at all
After arguing with the world for a while and getting to the point where they didn't call us, we got the Manifold Garden trick. Or so we believe it, because it seems that at William Chyr Studio there are many obstacles and ways to make our lives difficult. We will find blocks that can only fall somewhere, and will need to be used in conjunction with blocks of other walls to get them to other switches, which will open doors or open art objects.
And if that seems small to you, we will also find puzzles where we will have to rotate the blocks and guide the balls through the mazes. This may seem like a good thing, but as we said before, here we come to leave our brains, so we have to figure out how to use gravity to get the ball to its full potential.
In the article we will find a variety, and death will not be set in our path. In this article we will not die if we fall, because we will return to our destination because the earth is in all directions. This idea is good, because it prevents the frustration of losing further attention if we pay more attention to the puzzle than our steps.
With no conversations or history, it's easy to imagine that it could end up boring. But Manifold Garden manages to transform the player by using endless and amazing worlds that guide him cunningly into his future. Directional items can range from a locked door to a cube that needs replacing. Each new challenge seems difficult at first sight, but this feeling slowly disappears as we see what the path ahead is.
The visual style chosen for the puzzles is probably the most iconic Manifold Garden. It is not connected to logic or reality. This produces a theme that always intrigues us, especially when the inner part of the space is larger than its outer part, which takes us a few seconds while wondering how we got there. It also has the appropriate color accents that are lightweight or lightweight, almost like Gray, a Nomada Studios platform video game.
The test of any puzzle game is the balance between challenge and accessibility, and it seems that Manifold Garden has found a balance. The most dangerous thing that can happen to us in this game is that we get dizzy in real life, because we will always cry, but by removing that we can focus on finding a way to solve puzzles. And how can you forget the sense of wisdom that invades our identity every time we pass one of the maps and move on to the next, repeating the process.
At Manifold Garden there are a few cans and a few buttons that we usually use the console for. However, William Chyr Studio has been able to constantly challenge various and beautiful maps that do not agree with all the relevant points. Don't be fooled by simple controls, this puzzle fulfills its mission because it lets us see that things can be radically changed – literally. No doubt fans of the genre will give it a chance, but anyone can – and in our opinion should – give this wonderful puzzle game.
