Incredipede is a physics-based puzzle game released in 2012 by independent game developer Colin Northway. The game received critical acclaim for its innovative gameplay, charming graphics, and challenging puzzles.
The Story
The game follows the journey of Quozzle, an adorable creature who must navigate through various landscapes to find her missing sisters. The objective of each level is to reach the goal while overcoming obstacles and enemies along the way.
Gameplay
The unique aspect of Incredipede’s gameplay is the ability to create and control Quozzle’s limbs. The player can use these limbs to climb, swing, jump, and even fly through each level. As the game progresses, new abilities and challenges are introduced, making each level more intricate and satisfying to solve.
To create a new limb, the player clicks and drags on Quozzle’s body, choosing the length and direction of the limb. This allows for endless possibilities in terms of strategy and puzzle solving. However, the player must also consider the weight and balance of Quozzle’s body, as too many limbs in one direction can cause her to topple over.
Graphics and Sound
The hand-drawn graphics of Incredipede add to the game’s charm, with vibrant colors and playful animations. The backgrounds and landscapes are also beautifully designed, providing a visually pleasing experience. The soundtrack, composed by game developer Sarah Northway, complements the gameplay perfectly, creating a whimsical atmosphere.
Review
Incredipede serves as a refreshing take on puzzle games, challenging players to think outside the box and experiment with different limb configurations. The difficulty level gradually increases, keeping the game engaging and preventing it from becoming too repetitive. The inclusion of various creatures with unique abilities adds to the overall experience, making each level feel new and exciting.
One criticism of the game is the lack of a tutorial, making it difficult for new players to understand the controls and gameplay mechanics. However, this also adds to the sense of discovery and accomplishment when solving a challenging puzzle.
Conclusion
Incredipede is a must-play for fans of puzzle and physics-based games. Its charming visuals, innovative gameplay, and challenging puzzles make it stand out in a saturated market. With its simple yet addictive concept, Incredipede has secured its place as an indie game classic.
