Description


No one knew who built the ancient tower that loomed beside the coast. The young girl figured water must have once flowed down its giant aqueducts into her village, but even her grandfather couldn't remember seeing the mill's old water wheel turn. These days it is the job of her and the other children to journey to-and-from the tower to collect what little water bubbles up in the caves beneath it. But everything is about to change when she awakens a mysterious glowing orb buried beneath the puddles. Images long hidden on the cavern walls now glow with hints of a new hope for her drought-stricken village, and the sealed door of the tower sits ajar for the first time in centuries. With her curious companion in tow, the young girl bravely enters the crumbling ruins of the ancient machine to discover if its long-held secrets hold the key to her future.

Golem is a heart-warming adventure about a young girl and a shape-shifting golem who must navigate the ruins of an ancient tower to solve its challenging puzzles and re-activate its long-dormant machines.



Features:

  • Explore 10 expansive levels, from the caverns deep below the tower to the windswept turrets perched above the surrounding desert.
  • Using the different skills of the girl and the golem, solve the tower's puzzles to navigate the broken ruins and re-activate its long dormant machines.
  • Help the golem evolve through five unique forms that each bring new abilities to aid the two companions on their journey.
  • Decipher the tower's cryptic pictographs to find clues to its ancient builders and the origins of the mysterious golem.

Doesn't stand up to industry standards

As far as game enjoyment goes, I wanted to give the game 5 stars. But the game doesn't provide the standard in regard to the the game playability. So far I had to restart current level *twice*, because the game became unplayable - one time during level 4 I got stuck somehow on the rope while the game thinks I finished climing to the platform, meaning no movement is possible, and the second time on level 7 both the Golem and the girl got stuck behind some stupid rock, and all I could do is mount/dismount, with no movement possibilities. This is clearly an engine glitch no gamer should experience in this age of game development. Sad!

Just too slow

It looks good, the puzzles are adequate but it's just too slow. As you progress the puzzles get some more layers, like a tower you can approach from 4 different sides which is well done. The biggest problem here is the movement. You click where you want to go and the protagonist will find a path there or you'll get an error sound. She will not automatically climb things so you'll have to click there first before you click on the final destination. Most annoying for me was: she'll walk down a staircase, then set another 3-4 steps in the same direction she was going before she'll spin around and slide and walk in the direction she was supposed to go. Artsy-fartsy nonsense. You need to carry the golem around for the first few levels. Then, when it becomes mobile, it's slower than you are! You'll be holding the space bar to fast forward time more than you'll be doing anything else. I quit after the second transformation of the golem. After the first transformation at least it was able to follow you around but now, when it's actually more mobile that's not a thing anymore... Also, the levels get bigger as you progress so you want to zoom out to keep a good overview but as soon as you issue a command to the golem the game will TRY to zoom in on it for dramatic effect. I ended up watching the bottom of the level go by a few times as the camera got lost. This is an example of form over function. The other reviews speak of bugs later on as well. If you've got the patience of a saint, this is a good way to test it but I'm done.
