Description
Semblance is an innovative platformer with deformable terrain, set in a beautiful minimalist world. It’s a game that asks, what if you could deform and reshape the world itself? Semblance takes the idea of a ‘platform’ in a platformer and turns it on its head. What if platforms were actually part of the gameplay, part of the way you solved problems?

Explore a world where the default is soft, where the property of 'hardness' doesn't exist. Each of the game's three worlds explore a new consequence of a planet that can shift, change and deform. Beat back the strange, crystalline infection of hard material by freeing the world's life essences and uncover the dark cause for its appearance.

  • Unique and innovative deforming platform gameplay:
    Can’t reach a collectible? Just deform and elevate a piece of the ground so that the point you jump from is higher. Nasty spikes in the way? Just deform and push-down the ground lower so that you can pass by. Squish, bounce, squash and transform the world- and yourself to solve problems.
  • Beautiful Minimalist Aesthetic Design:
    Explore 3 worlds bursting with colorful minimalist charm, quirky critters, and calming vistas. Become hypnotized by each world's dynamically layered score, each with a hint of African aural distinction.
  • Explore non-linearly:
    The game allows you to move between puzzles as you wish, never forcing you to find a solution in order to progress and enabling you to come back later. Similarly, the game's narrative is presented expansively, allowing you to explore- and piece together the story for yourself as you roam the game.

Great Concept

This game immediately caught my attention due to the artwork and gameplay, but it's not without it's flaws. While I do appreciate the style of the game, I was rather disappointed by the controls. I found myself getting frustrated with the controls (particularly the UP dash) on more than a few occasions, and this problem even seemed to carry over into some of the puzzles throughout the game. It certainly didn't make the game unplayable, but it caused a lot of unnecessary frustration. It's actually a really fun game overall, so if you're up for a few hours of enjoyment (same length as Inside or Limbo), then this game might be worth a try!

True puzzle platformer

First of all, I like this game. It's puzzle platformer where you need to solve platforming puzzles to reach certain object of interest. It's also quite challenging and sometimes obscure, but nothing worth rage quitting. Beware, you can't rebind the controls, default moving on k+m is just keyboard and you move using arrow keys. You jump and mold using space + move and reset the terrain using alt key. so you basically use two keys most of the time.

Short, relatively easy but fun

I think a lot of things about this game have already been said. What I can add is that I for one finished the game in not even 4 hours and to unlock the proper ending, you have to do a certain thing. Unfortunately, once you finished the game, everything resets, so you have do the certain thing AND redo all the puzzles.

Cool platformer wit a missing function

# Pro - The concept of manipulating the enviroment to solve problems is very cool. - Setting is nice and minimal. - Controls are fine. # Contra - I miss a button to zoom out the camera manually, cause when you are near a puzzle, the camera will focus it and zoom in or out , so that you can always see the whole puzzle and that's cool. The problem here is, when theres a region next to that puzzle, that you want to reach, you can't see it (where to jump, where to dig into the wall etc.) Maybe a little patch could add such key? This game is really fun to play, it's relaxing but not always easy, the character is cute and funny.

A Solid Puzzle/Platformer

Being an aficionado of puzzle games, having finished dozens of them, this is a solid puzzle game. People saying they finished it in ~3-4 hours must mean they are really good at puzzle games, content was added since they reviewed, or they used walkthroughs; I played it over 3 sessions/days, and it must have taken me at least 6 hours to complete the game (no walkthrough - that's against my puzzle game policy). At 75% off, I definitely got my money's worth.
