A charming little puzzle platformer. I though the mechanics were different and interesting. It's fairly short, but it doesn't overstay its welcome or pad for playtime. There were a few frustrating parts that were kind of skill intensive, but nothing insurmountable. Some fun collectibles. The plot was, uh, there? As far as I could tell. Overall, a solid puzzle platformer with clever mechanics and fun puzzles. I got it on sale, but I think it's worth the price for the quality of the experience.

A delightful little platformer with a twist! Got it on sale and it was totally worth it!

Semblance is a unique puzzle-platformer that made for a fun experience. There is a story if you really look hard, but I think most players won't find much content to enjoy in that respect. Otherwise, the puzzles were fun, the mechanics unique, and the commitment small, so not a bad deal.

Its a nice puzzle platformer that sells itself with its deformable environment. As a platformer, the deformable platforms are indeed a unique mechanism in my opinion and it feels satisfying to move in the game. As a puzzle game, I don't think that this features made this game stand out. The puzzles themselves aren't too hard but they aren't trivial either, I bought this for a day-long train trip and it was a decent way to spend some time. For that, it's perfect, otherwise I don't think that I would play it to be honest. The game is only $1 until the 22nd of August, which is a reasonable price for this game imo. The 10 bucks they would charge originally is waaay too much.

May 2024

Semblance is a great game with deformable terrain. I found it a bit disappointing that platforms can only be influenced in one direction and you can't bend them in several ways. There was also the occasional bug where you could get stuck in a platform. But otherwise the game was a lot of fun, even if it was a bit short.
