Medulla Game 9+

i don’t normally leave reviews but this game... *chefs kiss* okay so with the second spider, u go speedy into the tunnel then WALK super slow so the spider doesn’t hear u then pull the lever - also HOW DO I GET PAST THE SPIDER AND RAT TOGETHER

UPDATE: I GOT THROUGH u just gotta trick the spider so it grabs the air then RUN and go through the wall thing that closes then the rat can’t get you
i’m currently in the space things where u have to match the asteroids!! i’m on the third one and i’m pretty stuck:(

UPDATE: I GOT UNSTUCK like literally right after i commented that lol i’m in the next chapter floating in space now :)

UPDATE: i got through the black hole thing, if anyone’s stuck, u just gotta find the right holes to go through;)
i’m jumping on the planets now, wish me luck!!

UPDATE: got through the planets, you just gotta get on the ones with the rats and avoid getting hit then so on lol
i’m on the next chapter with the rocks and air things

I have persevered and thought my way through so many of these trials! I keep trying all kinds of things and until now—that’s worked! =) As it is, I’d give the game 3.5 stars. Art and idea are fantastic, literally. It’s refreshing. Controls are okay, sometimes on a phone, it’s a bit fiddly, but manageable. Sometimes though, the goal is unclear (eg, where I am now w the hand-eye tree), *and* there’s another unclear, indiscernable challenge. I can’t jump that far, let me try this; I can’t jump that high, let me do that; and either nothing works or nothing elicits information about what *will* work. Restarting at the checkpoint doesn’t actually reset either, which can frustrating. I like thinking, taking time to work through puzzles, but *some* sort of nudging pseudo hint system would be great. I presume the developers want people to explore, enjoy and *play* the game, not to weed out people who need 5 minutes to think through something and those who will spend a day.

This indie game is a good game. The complexity is not too high but still there’re a couple that make you go crazy. I love this game and would recommend and puzzle lover to take a try. However, this game CRASHES often. I don’t know if they’ll fix it later but here’re the ones: (1) when you are by the river and bridge, if you try many times, then suddenly the character disappears in the background; (2) there’s one level where you need to move two stone cubes to get over, sometimes there’s a transparent ‘wall’ between the two cubes and the character cannot go through; (3) at the second to the last level, the screen goes black if I restart the checkpoint, while restart the chapter/level won’t.
