Completely desrving of the front page!
A great mind bender, I could play this for days on end if I didn't have school. If not Front Page, at least 1st or 2nd place. Great job!
Reviews for "Interlocked"
This is what we have been waiting for!
After YEARS of mindless shooters, crappy 2D racing games, mouse-mazes, tower defence and 2D puzzles we have FINALLY taken it to a next level.
This is actually very challenging at later stages, it requires good understanding of the relations between each piece instead of just plonking a puzzle that seems to fit in the right place to make us feel proud.
I'm currently stuck half-way through but I will do it. Its like one of those mind-bending bamboo bafflers - where you have to think outside the box to solve them :)
Absolutely amazing and I am still wondering why this isnt YET all time best game :) Gets a 15/10 from me :)
Congratulations!
For this fantastic game!
It has many great details i'd like to mention.
-The music was indeed very relaxing, setting a nice mood to the game, helping you chill and concentrate on the puzzle. Also did not seem repetitive at all, which is hard to manage.
-The design. It wasn't anything fancy, with tons of details. It was nice and simple. Easy colors to distinguish each piece. And everything perfectly clear. The interface, the menu, the "selection gizmo"... =) Having the axis show always the same color and rotate with the puzzle was also very nice. Making it quite player friendly, to put it one way.
-The controls. Just perfect! Completely intuitive. Giving the option of toggling between rotate or pull, or holding spacebar down for a quick movement/sight.
Also loved how it first let you easily choose what axis you were going to move the piece on, instead of just guessing and moving straight away.
-The programming. Very nice job here. Movement was smooth, menu worked perfectly. No jerks at all. A nice acceleration and deceleration when moving a piece. Pieces interacted perfectly, and as a bonus, we even got a little noise whenever the piece hit something. Seriously, kudos on this!
-And last but not least, the puzzles. Very entertaining. Very easy at first, but with a nice build up of complication. (Although in my opinion numbers 11,12,13 were harder than #14, but this is just a side note.) As other people have said, instead of making you frustrated, you felt determined to finish the puzzle, with the final objective of finishing the puzzle, and to feel 10 times as smart. ;)
All in all, this game deserves no less than 10/10, and 5/5. =)
Good luck and thanks for the game! Keep it up!
Cheers! ^^
PS: Sorry about the long review. =P
BRAVO
Though it does not fit the genre of Newgrounds, I am not complaining one bit. This is one of the finest games I've seen on this site. It's well put together in both animation, programing, controls, and just about everything else! Keep up the good work!
very good game is very good to spend some time
