Radium

"Radium" is a Casual skill puzzle game with Time Limit. The Principle is simple: We have to bugger a green Ball through a Maze to the End Point. Problem with this: We do not control the Ball directly. The Only thing we have at Our disposal are two fixed Influencers who exert some Kind Of magnetic Effect on your Ball. We can activate one or both. Since the Ball also responds physically to Gravity and is also able to bounce slightly rubbery, we can lead it quite elegantly to its Destination with this System. In the Course of the 130 Levels, there are several Difficulties. A restricted Field Of view, for example, or a Reversal of Gravity, Tips that destroy our Sphere, or Areas that need to be activated first before you can activate the End Area. The Whole thing is like a good casual game: A simple Game principle implemented in creative Tasks. And it's Fun, a Lot even, were it not for the rapidly increasing Level of Difficulty. If even it would not be such a big Problem, it should be challenging, but: The Time Limit that each Level has quickly becomes annoying. In itself, you can allow yourself as much Time as you want to solve a single Level to unlock further Level, but you have to create a certain Number of previous Levels within the very tight Time limit. This leads to Frustration, especially with Players like me, who like good Puzzles but is reluctant to be rattled in solving them. If you don't mind this, or if you even like the Pressure, you will find a mechanically clean and really well thought-out game here. Graphically and soundtechnically, the Game is extremely reduced, but this fits perfectly with the Genre and looks aesthetically appropriate.
