Gumstein is a platformer (think the original Mario bros on gameboy). Itu2019s that kind of thing. Youu2019re running around jumping over things; avoiding obstacles, navigating through mazes and avoiding things that are inevitably trying to kill you. This is not a simple point and click game. Itu2019s not an easy, switch your brain off, zone out type of game. It actually makes you work a bit. Which is awesome!This a game you really need to give a chance. I love the slick graphics. Something I really like about this game is the way itu2019s staggered. Each time Iu2019m just getting comfortable and I think: u201cIs that all there is?u201d The game throws you a curveball. The first few levels get you used to the controls. Then you get to the first few puzzles which makes it more interesting, but those could get old really quickly. Just when I think Iu2019ve got it figured out, thereu2019s a new challenge. The puzzles become increasingly complex and the as the abilities are unlocked thereu2019s a whole new dimension thatu2019s added. Iu2019m playing on easy. I imagine that the timed games and increasingly difficult hazards will really test your skills. Iu2019ve got to say it took until level 13 for me to really get hooked. At this point you start unlocking abilities. It really does take that long to really understand the game and get into it, all which Iu2019m really glad for. From level 13 it gets really fun and interesting u2013 so give the game a chance. The early levels really help prepare you for whatu2019s to come. After level 13. Youu2019ll know. Itu2019s at this point the game play really comes into its own and becomes really fun.But honestly, itu2019s a really good game. Itu2019s definitely directed at a particular type of gamer. If youu2019re not up for the task or donu2019t enjoy problem-solving, youu2019re going to get pretty frustrated. But if you want a good challenge, this is definitely it.When I first started the game I honestly didnu2019t like it very much u2013 and thatu2019s pretty much been the commentary from a lot of the testers. I think not knowing what to expect and not being familiar with platformers added to that. But it gets a LOT more fun as the game progresses. It took me a few weeks to get through it (just because I couldnu2019t find the time), but I found myself itching to play again u2013 I couldnu2019t wait to see the next level. So, if you can muscle your way through the first few levels, it is well worth it. If youu2019re an experienced gamer, normal difficulty will test you sufficiently. I found playing on easy was plenty hard enough. This game is really well thought out!So. It is a platformer. This really isnu2019t the type of game I would usually choose to play myself. But, after hearing such mixed comments from the other testers, I had to give it a shot and see what itu2019s all about. By the way, the other testers that Iu2019ve spoken to said things like u201cItu2019s too hardu201d Or u201cI absolutely love it! I played for two days, one morning till three ou2019clock, until I couldnu2019t anymore. My brain was mush. But I LOVE it!u201dThe menu (which btw is a level on its own u2013 where you can earn an achievement by dying o0) is actually pretty cool u2013 here you can test out all the abilities youu2019ll activate throughout the game). I love the look and feel. Itu2019s really slick and feels pretty polished and the controls work well. Youu2019ve got to be pretty precise with your movements to get through the obstacles unscathed.You spend the first five levels just getting used to the controls. It does actually take a bit of dexterity, co-ordination and accuracy with the keys to control Gumstein and get him to go where you want him to go when youu2019re jumping from platform to platform trying to avoid the spinning blades that splatter you to bits, homicidal bats, radioactive waste and faulty wiring ready to electrocute you. So once I got used to all that and got my head around what was expected of me, I actually started to enjoy it. But then Iu2019m thinking, where are the puzzles. Isnu2019t this supposed to be a puzzle game? Enter level five. The first puzzle. Ok, so that adds a new dimension I really like, but itu2019s pretty easy. Now I know whatu2019s happening, I can really get into this.But really in the end I loved it and Iu2019m looking forward to slowly working my way through the normal and hard difficult levels. Not to mention that there are still a bunch of new levels still to come and new abilities. The full release is set for December.. Gumstein is a platformer (think the original Mario bros on gameboy).
