PERFECT ANGLE: The puzzle game based on optical illusions Reviews

I have to argee with other people. This price is too much for this cheap-make game. It is not worth $8. I'm one of people who greenlited this game. Sadly, it doesn't have better quality after being greenlited.

Very philisophical game which makes you see the beauty in the everyday, the light in that darkness, the clarity in the unknown. Follow someone through the different stages of his life as he tries to find the solutions to all his problems, only to find that they were around him the whole time. Amazing thought provoking game which can be slightly frustrating when you dont know what to look for, but dont worry, the game will give you hints.

A very poor-looking game which is like the Riddler puzzles from the Arkham games, except you often don't know the actual shape you're looking for, which is nice. Really not worth the price, sorry, developer.

Excellent Game! Very thought provoking with a good story, alot of bad reviews cause it offers you to buy hints, But hints are given if your still having a problem after around 4 min. I think the developer just wanted people to try and solve the puzzles and if your lazy then buy some hints so you can zoom through the game if you want. But really you don't need to buy anything solving the puzzles is fun and this game is worth 2.50.

Absolutely not the game I was waiting for. Boring and incoherent. About 25% of the puzzles are cool but the others...annoying. Didn't worth the EUR2 I've paying for it. If you can get it for free, take it but don't pay. Especially not for the ingame clues....

Was hopeful on a brand new game - took a chance for under $10, but it just didn't play very well. The graphics are awful, even on ultra. The 'cool' music you hear playing in the trailer doesn't seem to play through the first 20 levels at all...not sure when the music gets fun, but it's very ambient and more background noise than anything. The UI is just terrible as well - can't even zoom out, or use the mouse in the main menu, have to use a keyboard. It looks and feels like a console port. Not worth the money. I uninstalled it after 30 minutes.

While I like most of the puzzles and the presentation is pretty good, two aspects of the game force me to give the game the thumbs down. First of all they developers decided to embed the puzzles into a narated story that slowly unfolds when you succesfully solve the puzzles. We've seen how this good can work when it's done right from games like Portal 2 and the TALOS principle. But the execution in this game fails. The connection between the puzzles and the story is weak, objects you've discovered are often shoehorned into the story. But even worse the story is narrated by the most dull and emotionless voice I've ever heard in a game. The accompanying stills are amateurish at best and do not help to draw you into the story. The other problem I have is with microtransitions. You actually have to buy clues to help solve the puzzles when you're stuck. A recent update will give you a free clue every five minutes (if you're at zero clues) but since most puzzles have no title (until after you've solved them) are not linked together by theme and also have no visual clues you're bound to get stumped every ten puzzles or so. I don't mind paying for DLC that adds new puzzles to an existing game (I recently bought the DLC for the TALOS principle) but paying for something that would otherwise be free leaves a bad taste in my mouth. With a better told story (both in story telling and in voice acting) and more natural clues for the puzzles (by linking them by theme, giving a clue in the name of the puzzle and/or by giving subtle visual clues) this could be a pretty good puzzle game. In it's current form however the negatives outweigh the positives.

Perfect Angle is a short but very nice game. You have to move around objects in order to find a shadow on the wall. Something like we did when we were young: make a butterfly with your hands. Or you have to turn around objects in order to find a new shape. Not really hard, most of the time. So it's an relaxing game. The story and the narrating gets bored after a while. As for me, it doesn't have any added value. But that's me. Perhaps it gives you more depth in the story. Rating: 8 out of 10.

Pro: Hard puzzles..sometimes. Con: Unskippable narrative after each puzzle. Poorly made jumpscenes. Repetitive puzzles. Irritating puhing messages about hint system when all I want to do is to find the solution. (I shouldn't have to push the hint button to be able to remove the pushed message. but when I see the possibility to BUY hints, then all this is a poorly made microtransaction-game) Not worth the money at all.

Definitely nowhere near perfect. Buy "Shadowmatic" on your iOS device instead. I wanted to like this game. I really really really wanted to like it. I love the concept of rotating objects to reveal the shapes. However, this game falls way short. It feels like something someone made in Blender. Transitions are low resolution, plastic-looking, and low-framerate. The levels range from super-easy, to "are you freaking kidding me?" with no coherent progression. (Easy levels and hard levels are all thrown together in no order) The "story" is cringe-worthy. Sure, I want to know what happens next, but the voice-over feels strained. The levels often feel like the end-object was arbitrariarly chosen just so it could fit with the story. But worse, at times it feels like the story arbitrarily bends itself just to justify whatever the object was. It makes no sense. Some levels are so incredibly "unfair", it seems like it's by-design how unfair they are. Oh, but luckily there's a hint system. Click the hint button, and it'll show you the shadow of the object that you're looking for. Not enough? Click the hint button again, to get a sort of "radar" color, that will change to green as you get closer to the target shape. That sounds lovely. EXCEPT for the fact that you're only given 10-hints to start with. OH, maybe they give you more hints after solving a level on your own? NO! Once you use up the 10-hints, your only option next is to BUY MORE hints. Seriously? I already bought the game, and I cannot continue because I can't figure out this obtuse, intentionally frustrating level, because I don't have enough hints, and I must pay more to continue? Skip. That. Not to mention that the entire interface looks like it was designed for touch-screen. (Including some early on-screen prompts). And there are ADVERTISEMENTS in the game directing you to their website for other (mobile) games. On top of the in-app purchases, in a game I already spent money to buy? I'm done with this game.. I wanted to enjoy it so much. But there's no love here. Such a shame. If you read this far, you really should check out "SHADOWMATIC", which is available for iPhone/iPad. I guarantee that you'll like it more than "perfect angle"
