In-between Games

Through January, in addition to Mass Effect, I had been playing Mr. Robot and Osmos. I got both of these games in a huge pile of even more games during the Steam sale, but these both came better recommended than some of the others. I haven't finished them for different reasons.

Osmos: This game is great! The atmospheric music works so well with the gameplay, but it gets pretty hard near the end. As best as I can tell I am actually on my last unfinished stage but I've played it dozens of times and have had no luck. I'm on F3C (epicycles 3), if somebody has some advice. YouTube videos didn't help.

Mr. Robot: This is very neat RPG/platforming hybrid. The interface was a little tough to get used to, and the isometric view makes me struggle in certain rooms. The viewpoint is actually part of the reason I haven't been playing it, I got to a room with rising water and boxes to move around, and I can't seem to get a good angle on things to know that I'm going to land where I want to. Still plan on finishing this though.

  1. Hi Pablo,

    Dave Burke from Hemisphere Games here (the developers of Osmos). Just came across your blog post and wanted to point out that you can find advice for Epicycles on the Hemisphere Games blog (http://www.hemispheregames.com/)

    Thanks for the post; glad to hear you've enjoyed the game!

  2. Dave,

    Thanks for the advice! I will definitely put some more time into Osmos to finish it up nice and neat. Thanks for making a really fun game.
