The levels in this game would make Wile E. Coyote proud.
not because it's strictly wrong, but because it's underselling the game. Developer Atomic Breath calls it"a sparkling theme park full of platform and environmental puzzles." And fair enough, there are doors to unlock and boxes to put on pressure plates—things which would normally indicate a puzzle game—but I don't consider its levels to be puzzles.
Meanders is one of the most videogame-y videogames I've ever played. It's bite-sized and bare-bones, but it works because it's centrally about the simple, satisfying thrill of motion. There's a wonderful sense of speed and freedom to it, and as levels escalate into increasingly ridiculous and oversized sets, they deliver authentic adrenaline-pumping heights. Thank god there's no virtual reality version; it would probably kill you.
My favorite thing is how little the game tells you . It might tell you how to throw a ball or use a cannon, but you'll never know what the big red button does until you press it. Will that laser kill me if I touch it? Will that platform disappear? What happens if I break this ball? Can this cannon reach the exit? There's only one way to find out, so pull your socks up and press the button.
Every level is a new box of questions and experiments, and failing never gets frustrating because Meanders has absolutely no loading times. None. Once you start the game, nothing stands between you and trying your stupid ideas. You cannot overestimate the value of being able to restart instantly in a game where your principle method of transportation is cannon fire.
Meanders only costs a few bucks on Steam, and it certainly looks like it. Every level takes place in the same minimalistic waterscape, and altogether the art takes the idea of low-poly to new extremes. But that just serves to highlight the elements that matter. Some may find the sterile aesthetic repetitive, but its pearlescent textures and detailed reflections are genuinely pretty. Besides, I value clarity over anything in a game like this.
