Awful Puzzle Game Due to Weak Physics

Publisher: Curve Digital

Developer: No Brakes Games

Also available on: PlayStation, PC, Nintendo Switch, Phones

Supposedly a physics puzzle game, but the main part of this, the physics, is so bad that it makes the game nearly unplayable. It's surprising to see so many people like this game when it has these problems. The graphics are really awful, with very plain backgrounds and no textures on nearly everything. The character itself is just plain, almost like a stickman.

The areas are so plain looking too, and the draw distance is very short. You're supposed to get to the end of each level with obstacles in your way, and you have to do tasks like stack objects to climb onto or put an object on a lever, etc. But the character wobbles non-stop, and the objects are difficult to place down because of that wobbling and the nearly non-existent physics. You can't walk in a straight line without the character flailing their arms around and acting as if he suffers from jelly man syndrome.

There aren't that many levels to complete either. I'm really not sure what the point is of the wobbling of the main character and the objects. This is supposed to be a kid-friendly game, but I doubt any kid would have the patience to try and make this mess work. Some parts had no sound effects at all, and some achievements didn't work either. They laughably claim on the box that it's like that for comedic value, but it's obviously not, and it isn't funny either. There is multiplayer which would probably make it easier to do the tasks..
