Bryce Tiles Steam Charts & Stats

I love Bryce Tiles

Bryce Tiles is an isometric block puzzle game with an oddball atmosphere and quiet sense of humor. It reminds me a lot of Chip's Challenge, a game I've been fond of since early childhood, and in fact it consciously borrows a number of elements from that game, like the fire boots and flippers and whatnot; however, it has its own style of puzzle design which leans more toward a flow state of continuous movement and flawless execution than fiendish brain-teasing. The music is great, and in fact I get the theme song stuck in my head all the time. Will it stay there forever? I hope so. Apart from this, there are many lovely little touches, such as a patrolling bulldog wearing a baseball cap whose footsteps sound like the soft slap of bare, wet feet on poolside pavement. This is what video games are really about, of course, the footstep sounds I mean, but the game also has a ton of levels and some extra modes that put creative twists on the basic gameplay, so it seems like a good value to me, however I seem to recall seeing CD-ROM shovelware at my local office supply store in 2006 going for more money than this, so maybe it's not on me to defend the idea of paying $14 for a nice computer game.

A charming, retro-style puzzle game with an excellent soundtrack (seriously, this opening theme has no business being so good, but Autumn Hills is definitely my favorite) which I just can't help but adore the presentation of. I haven't been able to get very far in just yet because I haven't had time, but first impressions are well above "good". If that's anything to go by, this is absolutely something I'd recommend to anyone that enjoys block-pushing puzzles (with a nice retro aesthetic, to boot). Just watch out for those pesky dogs (and other enemies)!

This game is fun, quirky, and trippy in the best way. A puzzle challenge game with bizarre visuals and offbeat humor that somehow just works. Every level feels like it’s trying to melt your brain a little more—but in a fun, satisfying way. It’s weird, it’s clever, and I couldn’t stop playing.

A very good sokoban style game that rejects a lot of the typical sokoban trappings. The game is more focused on emergent decisions; there's no "undo the last push" option in this game and many levels involve you being chased by enemies that force you to make quick decisions and to keep moving. This leads to an enjoyable, breezy style of game that can be "finished" relatively easily but has a lot under the surface. I never found myself significantly stumped by any individual level, but there was still tension in whether I could successfully execute. I'm 8 hours into the game and have finished the primary batch of 100 levels and am working on the new game+ levels that unlock afterwards, which make the game a bit more difficult. It's worth noting that I haven't even scratched the surface of the game's secrets. There are out of bounds sections on certain levels and invisible pathways that hint at the many hidden achievements that I haven't achieved. But even without uncovering the REAL secrets of the game, I've been having a good time just playing through the levels and the included bonus modes, including a mode where you can't stop running, a mode where you have to control a mirror character, and one where the playfield gradually disappears as time passes, forcing quick decisions. The aesthetics of the game are one of its main draws; like Bryce's Movement Engine before it, it captures a weird sort of professional Klik & Play aesthetic perfectly. The graphics are simple yet bizarre, the music is soothing vaporwave adjacent loops. Excellent on that front. Can't name many games like it. Overall, like Bryce's Movement Engine, Bryce Tiles is a fantastically realized ode to old times that lives both in and outside of the time period it's referencing. A great nostalgic tribute with secrets that I haven't even come close to fully uncovering. You should play it if you like video games.

The game is relaxing, perfect for those who enjoy puzzles and reasoning, accompanied by a very soothing soundtrack throughout the gameplay. I recommend, an excellent way to pass the time!
