Stuffo the Puzzle Bot Reviews

I usually play this on iOS but I came here to leave a review. If you're into puzzle games this is a must-play, designed by the one and only Antti Tiihonen the game and level designer behind Legend of Grimrock 1+2. This guy is a living legend expect no less from this game.

[h2]Very tightly designed puzzle game with a charming pixel artstyle[/h2] The difficulty ramps up smoothly and evenly. New mechanics and toys always get enough screentime, and you get new ones before the old toys get boring or repetitive. While the levels never get crazy hard even in the endgame, they do get difficult, which makes this game a pleasant, yet reasonably challenging puzzler without frustrating the player too much. Oh, and the OST is an absolute banger!

All around satisfying, smooth difficulty curve, and the music understands the assignment.

The more I play it, the more I like it. Satisfying short stages with the right amount of complexity to be challenging, but never overwhelming, especially when accounting for the fact that most stages offer a two-tier challenge (exit the level or exit the level *in style*). I enjoy playing it in short bursts of one or two stages. I think that the "laid-back but smart" description by the developers is fitting.

A solid puzzle experience! The puzzles were compact and neat, and the visuals & audio were excellent.

Saw this reviewed on https://buried-treasure.org/ and figured I'd give it a whirl. Fun puzzler. Solutions are clever. Surprisingly good soundtrack. I'll keep playing this off and on.

Awesome puzzle game that gets hard in the second half

An excellent puzzle game that introduces its mechanics seamlessly. The learning curve is gradual, save for one hiccup near the end, [spoiler] response [/spoiler], which is much harder than the others. Not that it's a bad thing, beating the level was really rewarding. I kind of wish there were other levels at that difficulty, since though the later levels are tricky, they didn't take very long to go through. The gameplay is well polished. It does a good job of making sure you can't abuse the platformer physics to get to places you shouldn't. You can't die from anything, including water, lasers, or being crushed. The music has this lonely, cerebral vibe of a last remaining robot going about its duties, and the graphics suitably match that too. These together make it a really good chillout game. I kinda wish I got it on android so that I would've played it over a longer period to be honest. Ending [spoiler]Firstly, the ending music is an absolute banger. It goes so hard. But other than that, it feels kinda... sudden? Like, it feels unrelated to what we've experienced so far. It's just "thanks for playing" and fireworks, which are cool, but I'm invested now. If I were to write my own fanfic ending, it would lean more into the melancholy of it all. Maybe the atoms the robot was collecting would be put to use trying to repair a broken down robot friend of theirs. The ending could also lean into the idea that the robot continues about its work, even after we're finished with the game, going about in its world that we, too, have abandoned.[/spoiler] In all I would love to know just a bit more about the world and the robot. I can't really complain, though, the description does say there's no story whatsoever. The vibes are just so well executed that it leaves me wanting more than what the game has. In all, this game is well worth your time and money if you like puzzle games. I'm glad I found it.
