Ziro Reviews

Superb puzzle game with clunky back story. Slide the blocks, open things, close things, reach the target. Starts easy, ends impossible.

Enjoy stale, repetitive puzzles? Occasional "save the planet" tips about as intuitive as wearing a helmet while riding a motorcycle? Zero plot investment? Completely arbitrary achievements? Count me in! ... Wait.

Tags: Casual - Flinger & Object Route Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library TLDR: Mobile port with a tired mechanic used everywhere. No gamepad support. Grating sound. This is a cube matching game on ice terrain, where you gotta use the uneven walls to stop blocks and glide them left and right until both the ones with the same number match. There is apparently a mechanic where numbers above 10 can be divided but I tried it on the first level and it was bugged, instead of having one dice of twelve it created one dice of 6 making the level unbeatable. There are locations from all around the world which change the landscape but even in the middle of the desert the tiles still glide and there are snowflakes. Otherwise it fullscreens correctly, and has resolution options. No gamepad support however and the sound was very grating. The visuals were okay for what it is. Mostly deleting because it is not the right platform and cannot be enjoyed at a sit-down desk experience especially when there are so many better options around

Entertaining for a bit, but there are too many games out there and this one loses it's charm after awhile. I am not a puzzle game freak so it could be me. I would give this a neutral review. The ice man that provides PSAs looks drunk and seems to have a black eye.

The slogan is right «Warm Up The Brain» because your brain will burn! «Cool Down The Earth» 'cause playing this game warms less than turning on your 1000W hoover, or get on a car to go somewhere or... YOU GOT IT! Is a very ingenious game where, in each level, you find a board with some dices that you have to clean to pass the stage basically. You make disappear the dices adding two with the each number on it, elseway they would add or subtract one each other. During the first 20 stages will appear few tutorial windows which explain you how to play and what some special dices do. There are a lot of special dices and the game counts more than 300 levels, so don't think you will waste your money for a game that last just few hours! In the end, if you like puzzles you must try this game and even if you don't, you should give it a try because is cheap and worth a lot: a double reason to help the indie market. ;-)

The graphics, sound, and interface for this game are all well done, it's just that I really dislike puzzle games that make me worried I'm going to make a mistake and be forced to restart. So, it's really hard for me to have fun with this title. Ziro is based around the mechanic of using arithmetic to calculate ahead of moves if a series of die will match. If you like these kinds of challenging puzzles, you'll really enjoy this game. It's just not for me.

This... is an annoyingly long game lol... I mean it is and it isn't. almost 70 hours into it now, and I am getting close to done with it but I have been working on it for almost 5 years now. It is a fun enough puzzle game, but it also get's rather repetitious and tedious at times. I suppose with the mechanics the game employs it is kind of inevitable as there is only so much that can be done with them, but for all of that The different game modes should probably be a little shorter to keep people interested. In my opinion. I guess that's all I really have to say about it. If you don't mind taking a break from it here and there and aren't expecting to burn right through it, it is pretty enjoyable and functional as a logic puzzle game. Edited to add: There are enough glitches in this game that I am dropping my overall score of it to a 3/10 and changing my recommendation. The quest mode glitches occasionally that if you aren't paying attention it won't give you credit for some of the boards. And I just made it to 276 out of 300 in skill and my save file became corrupted. And I am not going to start it again.

Ziro is an enjoyable and somewhat novel puzzle game that has suprisingly good sound design, intuitive gameplay and a huge variety of puzzles to play though. The graphics are also quite well done, allowing a 3D pan of the playfield with the right click button. Both the Steam Overlay and widescreen modes are supported. The only criticism I have is the somewhat bizzare occasional splash screens that dole out life advice. Seriously, the game tries to be your therapist or at least comes across as a political activist. That minor gripe aside, I found myself quickly engaged by this title and a little hard to put down. For casual puzzle gamers, Ziro is an excellent option.

A pretty good puzzle game. It's all math based with you eliminating dice by putting them next to each other and combining them. It's a pretty straight puzzler in that there's only really one way to solve each puzzle but there's enough flexibility there to alleviate too much frustration. Plenty of content but it's all gated which is a little annoying i.e. you must solve each puzzle before you reach the next. No skipping puzzles - nothing. That means you can get really stuck which is where I am at. No puzzle game should stop you dead in your tracks. It should have a learning curve introducing new mechanics along the way and then applying them but there shouldn't be huge leaps and, if there is, then it should provide you with some out to keep progressing. Any worth it for a few dollars if you're a puzzle fan. Check out some videos if this makes no sense at all.
