This game is art. It doesn't take much of your time completing it but the hour you put in playing this game is worth more than a ton of other kind of investments in your life. Clear your calendar and sit in front your computer and click this game open. Sit back and enjoy the purity and creativity the developer has made for your soul. Edited/Added on: Perhaps to address the technical aspects more: The puzzle mechanics in this game are unique. That, in my opinion, makes up a lot to its rather short playhour. If you don't tend to judge a game's quality solely based on its duration, then this game is worth your time and money.Show moreShow less
Is the game good? Yes. The game is carefully crafted and you can see that the developers put in effort to make things interconnect. However, the game is incredibly short. I've finished it in 64 minutes. Obviously the time to end might vary from person to person, given the "puzzle" nature of the game, but this really IS short. On top of that, the same game is being sold for less on other platforms - you can get it on iTunes for $4.99. If you have an iDevice, get it there. Otherwise, I'd suggest waiting for a better deal on Steam. I'd be happy with a $5/5 EUR price (at the time of writing the game is double that even after the discount). There's also a strange price disparity in different countries when purchasing through Steam (where, for example, Russian players get it for ~$5, while Polish players - despite being right next door - pay ~$12). Admittedly, I don't know who's responsible for the price differences on Steam - it might very well be an issue with Steam itself. But the price differences between platforms are definitely on the developer. This is where the negative recommendation comes from. The game is excellent, but I recommend waiting for a sale of some kind (or go get it on iTunes).Show moreShow less
Gorogoa is a surreal experience in a world filled with optical illusions and Escher-esque constructions Synopsis Seven years in the making, Gorogoa is a lavishly illustrated puzzle game that plays with logic and perception, encourages lateral thinking and tests the boundaries of its own self-imposed interactions. +Pros Lavishly illustrated with excellent animations Minimalist playstyle that pushes the boundaries of the form Seamlessly blends its symbolism into the mechanics -Cons Linearity of progression with little replayability Puzzles have only a single set solution Lack of options to set graphics Gameplay Gorogoa has a simple premise. Four panels, and a single starting image. This image may be manipulated to split it into multiple panels that slowly unfolds an incredibly complex world. At first glance Gorogoa is 2-dimensional. Images fit together along the sides and searching for similarities to create connections is often done on the peripheral edges of the playing area. Yet it also manages to overcome this limitation by creating an illusion of depth. Some panels form borders through which one can peer into distant spaces, zooming in and through panels to find new layers of the world to interact with. Light sources in one world shine through into the others illuminating new spaces… and new possibilities. In Gorogoa everything is interconnected. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1507998278 And this is at the heart of Gorogoa’s design philosophy. Searching to see how things fit, finding clues and similarities in its own internal symbolism to assist you in solving the puzzles that confront you. And then applying it all to the games mechanics, whether it lies in the slow inevitability of gravity or the intricate connections of disparate pages. Everything is logical… but it requires you to “think-outside-the-box” and there’s a deep investment into lateral thinking required to successfully solve Gorogoa’s mysteries. The game is somewhat cyclical in nature, and some motifs do become repetitive, such as the ability to discover sources of light. The game does reflect on this repetition of puzzles in some points… such as when the young boy struggles up a mountain staircase in a Sisyphean task until you finally resolve the puzzle. It’s these moments of reflection in the game itself where it shows a partial self awareness, that makes it deeply representative of the human condition. And Gorogoa does have an anthropocentric viewpoint. The laws of Gorogoa’s world do not determine your ability to interact, but rather its your mastery of their mechanics that allows you to progress. This makes the laws of the world subservient to the players agency. When this sense of control is combined with the manipulation of the universal symbols and the eureka moments of successfully solving a puzzle it creates an intense feeling of power and mastery that is self-gratifying, and encourages the further pursuit of enigmas to solve. It is light on playtime which may be a concern for some, but the careful integration of Steam achievements do offer some replayability and larger scale problem solving. Especially achievements that offer economical tile movement (a puzzle in itself) as well as speed runs and solving certain puzzles on the first trial. The game does also provide hints, by pinging interactive areas of the tiles, so you should never be stuck for too long. Graphics The art draws from various styles and influences, neoclassicism is an obvious one in the statuesque figures that portray frozen moments. Art Deco surfaces in the detailed furniture designs that draw ones’ gaze across their textured surfaces as well as in aspects of cultural art: from mandalas to runic shapes that pepper the portraits at various intervals. It’s in its art that Gorogoa crafts its rich metaphorical world. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1507948276 Each panel further assists these meanings: ranging from a tranquil city balcony, to Himalayan vistas, and shattered city scapes, the remnants of some unknown disaster. Gorogoa’s art is universal both in thematic choices and in what it actually depicts, creating a world that is believable and exotic at the same time. The game does offer automatic widescreen support, but doesn’t allow you to set the resolution yourself, and the only option you will be able to adjust is whether the game is windowed or not. Narrative Gorogoa doesn’t have a narrative in the traditional sense, but that is not to say it has no story. Rather the ambiguity of the world renders it capable of allowing players to inform their own stories, each unique and relevant to the individual. It does this through the symbolism of the game, partially creating internal meaning (to assist in puzzles solutions) but also by drawing on larger cultural meanings. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1507947818 The world is populated by dreamers, contemplating their desks hunched over books, searching for their own meanings… their thoughts and dreams assisting you in your own search for meaning. A partially visible dragon emerges from the city, perhaps an agent of prosperity or a deeply seated echo of a Jungian subconscious. Interactions between individuals are disconnected yet when viewed from the abstract position of the player harmonise in unexpected ways. The unpersonified boy, representative of the everyman and projection to show the players progression searches throughout the environment and is ultimately rewarded by five objects… though what their purpose is, their value, or even what they are, is up to your own interpretation. Conclusion Gorogoa presents itself with elegance and depth. It’s welcoming to both those who want a satisfying puzzle game and those who like some philosophy thrown into the dynamics of play without being too erudite. It's lightweight on playtime but thoroughly worth experiencing. If you want something truly unique and different to play Gorogoa should be highest on your list.

You've got to give props where props are due, and this game is undeniably original. The art is fantastic and the transitions between pieces only amplifies it. My personal issue with Gorogoa is that it feels more like an interactive art piece than an actual puzzle game. 20% of the time you're solving jigsaw and logic based puzzles, and the other 80% is just clicking around the screen trying to get to that point. The "puzzles" start to feel like road blocks interfering with the interactive art, which wouldn't be a problem if I actually felt clever solving them. Instead, you just go through the motions of trial an error until something finally fits, a cool animation happens, and you repeat. I respect Gorogoa for being different. Plenty of games try to be more accessible, but leaning into one particular abstract concept can make a game shine so much brighter. No, it's not for everyone (myself included), but titles that embrace an original vision is what progress in this medium looks like. I would personally like to feel clever when progressing, but this game doesn't care about that, and is totally fine with leaving you in the dust in the name of creativity. If you're looking for an actual puzzler, I can't recommend this in good conscience, but I'm sure someone else would. Respect/10, my personal disappointment is probably someone else's top fiveShow moreShow less
“If you realize that all things change, there is nothing you will try to hold on to.” ― Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching In one word, Gorogoa is “iridescent”. Foreword Gorogoa is the first and only game I’ve bought on release day. General Impressions I still recall my awe back in 2012, playing the Gorogoa demo utterly mesmerized by the sagacity of moving bits and pieces of a painting into a brand new whole of an even prettier composition. The awe of playing the finished piece expressed itself tenfold on my face as I clicked, dragged, combined and sometimes simply stopped to admire the smooth animated scene that unfolded itself before my eyes. Sadly, I lack the words and the eloquence to cover the feeling of finally playing a long-awaited game and the joy of it surpassing sky-high expectations -- so I'll refrain from attempting. Conclusion Gorogoa is a puzzle game of wonderment and out-of-the-box thinking that expresses itself in the most delightful way. Jason Roberts brings forth a labor of love that deserves its very own category due to its signature presentation and quirky level designs. Like an opal, its iridescence stuns even when still, but as you swiftly twist and turn it under the shimmering sunlight, it glows with colors and undertones you never would have thought were there. This is a game to be appreciated in one sitting, by those willing to succumb to contemplation and to the pleasure of unfolding each scene with the curiosity and unexpectedness of a child’s mind.Show moreShow less
I do not usually vote negative on games.. In fact, this is my first negative review ever! The game is about solving little puzzles.. It is like browsing a comic book with beautifully drawn pages. The only thing that seriously bothers me with this game is the fact solving the puzzles is more about experimenting around for few minutes rather than following a logical thinking. You just have to click and drag things around till you get a revelation of some sort which is not puzzle-solving for me at all. It is just a waste of time to watch a part of an animated story each time till it completes. If you are considering this game because of the overwhelming positive review and that it is a puzzle game, reconsider that for your own sake.Show moreShow less
The core design idea of Gorogoa is so incredibly strong and well-executed that the rest doesn't really matter all that much. You get a square screen broken into four sections, each of which features an image that you often can zoom in to, out of, move, or break into layers. Your goal is to guide the main character across multiple scenes (lives?) by changing perspective and fitting different images together. That's it. And it's absolutely brilliant. The game is elevated above being a simple clever puzzle by wrapping its beautiful mechanics into a Buddhist (Induist?) narrative, showing the character across multiple lives and emphasizing that the world itself is structured like a fractal, with something as insignificant and mundane as a lamp or an apple hiding a whole new universe inside. The idea, while nothing new, sings perfectly in tune with the gameplay. Gorogoa is indeed short, which I think is a plus, since the puzzles never get overly complex so as to become frustrating. The art style and music could have, perhaps, been more unique, but even as it is, Gorogoa is definitely a must play for any puzzle lover and anyone who enjoys tight experiences dedicated to doing one thing right.Show moreShow less
Gorgeous little game, which was over sooner than I thought. The 90 minutes I had with the game were great, but I expected more for the price. So what's the problem? At the time of writing, this game costs 14,99 € for me on Steam. After buying and finishing the game on PC, I found out that the exact same game is also available from App Store for 5,49 € (which honestly feels like the more appropriate price). I can't come up with any reasonable reason for this discrepancy. I'm not going to ask for a refund, but I can't help but feel sour. Price is a signaling mechanism. If the publisher feels like this work of art is worth 14,99 €, why not proudly sell it at that price point everywhere?Show moreShow less
This game has only one problem. It ends.Show moreShow less
It's an interesting concept. The art is nice, it's different. It also took me less than 2 hours to finish it. While I like to support innovation and new ideas, if I'd known it was so short, I don't think I'd have paid the $9 on sale. Just be forewarned, it's an incredibly short, yet well done game. If that's worth it to you, you are at least armed with the information to make such a decision.Show moreShow less
