![]() ![]() The final boss in particular is a real headscratcher that forces you to use everything that you have learned (although it does have an unnecessarily scatological tone).Īs you might expected from a title that is so clearly immersed in video game culture, there are a huge number of Easter Eggs and references to find, although some of these are a little long in the tooth. The use of colour for puzzles is brilliantly conceived – sadly a lack of colourblind options could become an issue late in the game for those affected – and really makes you think about what you have to hand or lying around the immediate area. Many of these puzzles are difficult to sum up or describe, but as an example, you may need to find a way to change the colour of a key card to open up specific doors, then immediately have to use your multi-purpose gun to shoot a Supraball through a series of hoops, and then rush across some platforms whilst being attacked by hordes of skeletons. ![]() The lengthy period spent as a PC exclusive has allowed these puzzles to be fine tuned and appropriate hints to be added, as the developers have really listened to the players. Each one is a mechanic that a lesser game could build itself around, but here the end result is some fiendish combination puzzles where you will have to use everything in your arsenal to progress. At first this involves predictable skills like a double jump and a ranged weapon, but soon you’ll be zipping along with a triple jump, Portal-like cube and a grappling gun. Navigating the world of Supraland requires you to make full use of the unlockable abilities you’ll find along the way. When you add in the ridiculously catchy German language theme tune, Warum Warum, you have a game that is clearly designed to be fun. ![]() Despite sounding like a limited setting, the sandbox has a wide variety of areas that take in the traditional gaming zones of lava, ice, desert etc. The vistas and skybox are in sharp contrast with the childlike stick people, and everything has a vibrancy that just adds to the sense of joy and wonder. While the character models are deliberately basic, Supraland is a beautiful game. ![]()
