The Artisan of Glimmith Reviews

I loved this game so much it reminded me of when Crazy Dave ate a taco so good he built a time machine to go back and relive his taco eating experience. For me, I'd wanna go back in time to play through all of the puzzles and experience the joy of completion again. Please add a DLC soon.

It's like every grid based pen and paper puzzle game in one. Really hoping a dlc comes out with another 800+ puzzles

Lots of fun puzzle content. Some levels can be challenging but not all are necessary to unlock more levels which is nice when you do inevitably get stuck. Very interesting level select too. 10/10 would recommend.

The late game puzzles are immaculate. However, the I think the early game suffers greatly from the fact that while the game is designed around the concept of never having to guess, finding the correct "guess" is often very easy in the first 6 or 7 areas. As such, I felt like these early puzzles were too easy (because I was playing it "wrong"), and lead to bad habits which proved difficult to un-learn later on.

tried the demo, love the art style, wishlisted the base game has 1225 puzzles? wow got it during the summer sale yay~ my daily dose of artsiness love love love it <3

This is an insanely good game. Hard to describe why and how is it this good. Great (clearly handmade) puzzle design and UX does a lot, I guess. Much recommended. Don't expect this to be more than it seems to be, though, it is "just" a fantastic grid separation puzzle game.

Game will not run on integrated graphics. Great concept, lovely visuals, but the game will crash (sometimes your whole computer) if playing on a laptop.

As the previows game from this developer (Island of insights) the puzzles are very good, but does it REALLY need to be so graphically intensive? Agreed, I'm using a ten years old potato, but I am above minimum specs and the game is only "technically" playable: it continuosly stutters and often drops in the "seconds per frame" territory. This causes tons of misclicks and painting of areas you didn't meant to. As other reviewers pointed out, there are planty of ways to optimize the game (not rendering the whole world and its s**tload of useless particle effects while solving puzzles would be one), but the developer simply didn't bother to. Giving the option to completely disable particle effects, fog and volumetric lighting would also be nice, but again, why bother with optimization? After 200 puzzles, I can no longer stand it: as it is, I would sadly have to shelve it until I buy a new PC. Such a pity... TL,DR: don't buy it unless you have AT LEAST the recommended specs, and definitely check the demo first

i normally only like to write reviews for games i've completed, but it's safe to say at this point that i enjoy it and recommend it. this is a fantastic puzzle game that teaches you its design language then challenges you on your understanding of it. there's a lot of content, but it doesn't feel repetitive or boring, as something is always building upon something else. will be keeping an eye on what these folks produce in the future...

Great to just launch for a short session when you don't know what to play. So relaxing and fun! Music is great and puzzles are handmade, not randomly generated. And there's lots of them, with different rules and different combinations of rules! Each puzzle feels fresh.
