With every step taken, the ground underfoot trembles as if in anticipation of an impending quake. The only way to avoid plummeting into an infinite chasm of death is to keep moving. Every moment spent meandering brings the player one moment closer to their death. And so the quest of pushing forward continues to propel players of the new puzzler, Almightree: The Last Dreamer - because that is the only way to survive.
Basic puzzles consist of trying to traverse small gaps, all the way up to creating a simulated staircase where there was once nothing more than an insurmountable wall. Navigation is done using the on-screen d-pad, which is a fairly straightforward way to move through the twenty stages of this adventure. Though that sounds rather brief, there are several difficulty levels that help to prolong the experience by speeding up the rate at which the ground deteriorates underfoot.
Using a perpetually building level of challenge to make the player steadily improve their abilities is the one true triumph of Almightree: The Last Dreamer. It is an amusing puzzler that never feels unfair. Mix in the high production values and great replayablility, and the result is a platformer that is well worth the two-dollar sticker price.
