I mean, they executed it extraordinarily well, and I liked it in itself--but it's squandered as support for a story that (spoiler) doesn't mean much and never goes anywhere, not even in a clearly humorous direction, and as decoration for a game engine and puzzle set that, while solid and good, are not nearly as thoroughly developed as the audiovisual style is. That's a totally normal thing for indie game developers to do: Build a game around an underdeveloped gimmick, and then give it a striking appearance. I think that a physics engine just happens to be an easy source for new gimmicks. The game deserves praise for being as polished and accessible as it is. That's the unusual thing about it! |
