Symmetry: Early Access Reviews

I would definitely recommend this game, especially to anyone who enjoys puzzle games or has a competitive group of friends! The game play is highly addictive with lots of "replayability" thanks to the level times being displayed on the menu - a great way to compete against friends! A global leaderboard would be an excellent addition. Controls are simple but extremely punishing once you begin trying to speed-run the levels to set faster "lap" times. One wrong spin or jump can send you off, which makes it very tense and incredibly rewarding when you hit that end portal and beat your best time! The music is nice, suits the game well and is quite relaxing (which definitely helps when you fall off the map on the last bend!!!). The six maps currently available (in 2 sets of 2) have a nice amount of variety and get more difficult each time. Local multiplayer is also a great laugh, especially with 4 players. The split screen and different player colours helps keep tabs on each other's progress - and you can even see other players on your screen which is a nice touch. The other game mode brings a bit of variety and is also highly competitive (especially in groups of 3 or 4). All-in-all, this game is a great challenge and I'm completely addicted to beating those lap times, which sees me replaying levels over and over. Great fun!

Challenging, addictive and most importantly fun. The older I get the less time I have to dedicate to gaming, this game is perfect for someone who wants something quick and easy to pick up and play. There's a nice handful of levels and challenges available right from the get go, these levels have great replay value as well. As i said the gameplay is very addictive and with the button controls being nice and simple it makes this game suitable for all ages. Symmetry does have a great solo mode but I would say you will have most fun playing the multiplayer mode with your mates. If you're a gamer who loves your couch gameplay video games then this game is for you. Highly recommend.

Good addictive fun. The game is great to play if you're looking for an addictive challenge. The game has a nice clean look, is well styled, and i'm looking forward to when i can play multiplayer with my friends. I think it's worth the money, it's a no fuss, simple game that gives you hours of fun, especially trying to beat your own time. Love it!

I'll just get straight to the point here. Pros: - Good and interesting concept. - Nice chill music. - Nice looking level design/graphics. Cons: - A way to skip that intro would be nice, so it doesn't take up seconds of my time everytime I boot up the game (I know this is minor as hell, but it annoys me, no offense). - No resolution options (the only graphic options are for graphics quality). Seriously, I wanna change my resolution because text goes off screen, but I can't (my initial resolution is 1440x900, if you must know). And selecting windowed mode does nothing (at least for me (like, the screen will refresh, but it stays in full screen)). - Jumping feels AWFUL. And by that I mean it feels stiff/floaty as hell, and you can't move direction whilst in midair; it sucks. - The camera takes a while to position itself at the start of levels (way longer than it should imo). - There isn't enough content for this to be worth £5+ if you ask me (£2 or £3 or so as the max I'd say). I WANT to like this game, but the jumping is my main concern about this, and it just hinders the entire experience for me. I understand that the game is in early access, but as harsh it this might sound, I'll be refunding either way, as I don't really have the patience to wait so long, sorry. Again, apologies if this came off as too harsh. Try this game out if you want, I won't stop you.

UPDATED REVIEW: last time I gave this a negative review but decided to grind this game and now I've achived every single achievement,I can say this game isn't too hard cons: -little RNG elements,like waiting for an obstacle to be clear -ball can be painful to control,it's momentum and speed is inconsistent,most of the time it never behaves like you planned and ruins the calculated jump -when you die at the start of the level and respawn at the starting point,your timer should reset,but the game doesn't -checkpoint placements can be time-wasting -respawning sound effect is ass pros: +addictive +good music but not much +jumping mid-air can save you some times +short enough to be 100%-ed in 2 hours +the levels are decent and tested,but not perfect for consistent speedrunning +spleet screen it needs: =definetly more levels =maybe little bit of level changes with more testing =some button mapping should be changed for comfort,like respawn button should be R not ENTER and pause button should be ESC not P =highscore system where players compete for the first place =some more sound effects =definetly a new respawn sound effect,I hate it :d =definetly timer should restart if I respawn at the starting point =online multiplayer looking forward to see the full release

A relatively simple 3d platformer. The movement mechanics are a bit frustrating at times, but generally it's a uniquely fun way to move, as the ball moves realistically rather than instantly snapping to the direction you want to go. This lets you spin in the air to gain speed when you land, or to roll to your death if you don't slow down in time. The camera is responsive, and works better than some AAA games. The soundtrack and sound design are great, even if the background music feels a bit repetitive. There are currently 6 missions in "Adventure mode", all of which I've completed in the 30 minutes I've played the game. They're short but offer a fair amount of replay value if you want to get the best time possible, which I certainly didn't get with my first play-through. The menus look good, but the key bindings in them on keyboard are a bit odd (N to go to previous menu and arrow keys rather than the mouse or WASD). The game is also clearly made with controllers in mind, so I'd recommend plugging one in before you start up the game. Other than these minor criticisms, the game is great in quality, and fun to play. Even with the few levels available currently, I think the game is worth the price for the replayability and great movement mechanics.
