Euclidean Skies Reviews

I enjoy the concepts, some parts get a bit too linear toward the end. The controls can be awkward but they aren't awful.

It's a decent puzzle game, but it does have [b]quite a lot of weird glitches[/b] and bugs. It felt like no one really playtested the game. Despite the obvious flaws, I still recommend this game.

Not gonna lie, this puzzle game was harder than expected. I really liked it though, you have a "easy" route and the "harder" (completing all the badges/achievements) route. It has some buggy elements (not major ones) but I still recommend it!

If you are good with Rubik's Cubes this is going to be fun for you. Your goal is to move a figure from one tile on a cube to another in least possible moves. Using the Rubik's Cube mechanic, you'll have to rotate not only the goal towards your figure to minimize the moves you make with the figure, there'll also be obstacles such as walls and knights that guard a tile they are facing, you must not only avoid that tile, but also remove the knights by moving to the tile they stand on from any other tile they dont guard or otherwise the goal wont activate if there are still knights. They'll also start moving every time you make a move which makes it very tricky to reach the goal while having cleared all tiles and faces of the cube of knights in least possible moves. There are hints but they are basically useless, I assume they were added in response to reviews and are supposed to be introductory to when starting up with the first levels and then first facing knights, but then they are 'You should know what to do by now'. As a hint in a puzzle game you'd expect a hint to the solution of the current level. I think the hints might better be called tooltips or information (i). Somebody said it's a mobile port and controls are bad in the PC version. There's (now) a rotation sensivity setting, that I had to adjust because the default was really spinning too fast. Other than that the controls are so simple and not specifically geared to touch controls I dont think it is better in the mobile version. It is just rotate the camera and click a tile to move. However, I wish you could turn the camera to the downside face of the cubes. Right now you have to remember what you rotated to the downside or rotate the downside faces to another side to look at whats there because you cant turn the camera angle facing the 'south pole' of the cube shape.

[quote=wikipedia]Named after Euclid of Alexandria (~300BC), Euclidean space is the fundamental space of classical geometry. Originally, it was the three-dimensional space of Euclidean geometry, but in modern mathematics there are Euclidean spaces of any nonnegative integer dimension. For more than two thousand years, the adjective "Euclidean" was unnecessary because no other sort of geometry had been conceived. Today, however, many other self-consistent non-Euclidean geometries are known.[/quote]

Euclidean skies is a puzzle game which is quite fun if you try to do the challenges. I'm not too fond of the OST however i really like the colors and the design of the puzzles. I saw some bugs( the character got out of the puzzle and the in-game menu where it gives the challenge seems to not refresh when choosing between levels) but not any game breaking glitch. For the bad points i would say the tutorial which is not really one as it doesn't explain mechanics (it's more like a classic mode). I may seem dumb but i haven't understood some of the in-game menu features. Finally the rotation is quite hard to do and most of the time i go to far when turning the blocks. A challengy game which is fun for quite a low cost so why not?

The levels of the game are interesting and will be quite difficult later on. The game itself looks nice, but at first the controls are weird. I’ve lowered the sensitivity of my mouse almost as far as I can. After a bit of practice, I didn’t have any problems.

Its like you are solving a rubics cube on a PC, controls are really clunky, You can't rotate the direction you want all the time, the game is fun overall I guess but not worth the time

As much as I want to like this, the control scheme is absolutely abominable. You spend more time fighting with which way the cube moves than actually playing the game. It's clearly a mobile port that doesn't translate to a pc without a touch screen.

What an unusual puzzle that combines the elements of adventure storytelling, tactical moves and some mechanics of the Rubik's Cube. The design of the game is quite suitable for its content and emphasizes the possible internal sensations and ideas of the player. I hope the authors will not stop and continue to work on similar projects, and Steam will allow the game to become a "full addition" to the library that gives +1 and all that. :)

A simple yet very cool and intriguing puzzle game. It's like a turn-based strategy game played on 3D twisty puzzles. If you're into RUBIX cube and FOUR SQUARE this is a good game for you. If not, I don't know. I'm not even sure how hard this is for normal people because I'm a cuber. It's actually a challenge to get the achievements on every level. It's essentially a FMC of a different type. For me it requires a couple play-throughs of the level and/or lots of lookahead. It's a fun challenge without seeming impossible or tedious. This is exactly what I've been looking for recently. A few gripes: 1) Music is awful, I had to turn it off, but then that turns off all the sound. 2) The turning/twisting mechanism is sensitive and I tend to overshoot a lot. It is a little easier after some practice and sensitivity adjustments, but still feels weird and doesn't line up quite as expected sometimes. This can make the game feel tedious at times, especially when you die and have to restart a level. I feel like more of a snap is required to make it easier and faster to align. 3)No explanation of anything. The interface is quite simple and easy to figure out, but still I felt lost at first. A few words here and there would make it easier to dive right in and start playing the game instead of spending time experimenting with the units and moves. Other than that I would say this is a great game, not much to it but the puzzles are something else. I've never played a game in this style, it's super fun and challenging, but not frustrating. I've been solving for a long time now, and I feel like this game is made for people like me. That being said I would love to know what non-cubers have to say about this game. I'm going to get some of my friends to try this game and see if they can solve the puzzles.
