Caliper 2 Reviews

40 Awesome Logic Puzzles!

A good followup to the original Caliper. Currently a tad shorter, but since Caliper got extra levels, the sequel might too? In a lot of ways this is more Caliper, but with fiddly movement replaced with tile-based movement, and puzzles that are more contained. Death prevention could be more aggressive (you're only prevented from dropping into the void), but overall, I feel that this is a decent puzzle game, especially for the price.

A puzzle game worth playing that I believe it should be worth more than a dollar honestly. I enjoyed playing this as a relaxation method to destress. Very Quirky. Works on Linux too.

Caliper 2 is a puzzle game about pushing blocks around to press a button to open a portal. The videos do a good job illustrating the gameplay. The concept is simple, but the execution is frequently complicated (which, to me, is what makes these puzzles fun). There are 50 puzzles total and it took me about 9 hours to complete, with several of the puzzles keeping me stumped for quite a while, scratching my head and thinking "This is impossible!" before finally seeing the solution. Unlike the original Caliper game, in this game, your character can neither jump nor fall, and you can climb up and down only one block height. Also, there are no stars to collect in this game. I would say that Caliper 2 is neither as difficult nor as complex as Caliper due to the removal of the jumping mechanic (and the puzzle design made possible by jumping). Overall, I would say the puzzle design is superb and everything is well laid out. There is no tutorial and nothing is explained, but explanation really isn't necessary. The behavior of the different blocks (the "rules") become obvious after some quick testing. Having finished this game, I can definitely say that I enjoyed it just as much as the original Caliper, and I highly recommend both games to anyone who enjoy puzzles.

The core puzzles of this game are well designed and actually quite challenging with a nice difficulty and for as cheap as 1.5$ it is an extremely good value for money, there is a criticism to be had in that it is siginificantly less visually interesting than Caliper 1 no reason you couldn't have build some buildings in the background for visual flair instead of endless ocean, a fun puzzle game that does one concept very well
