Ikea vibe in a puzzle game
Reky is a puzzle game with a minimalistic 3D design. You can “move a ball,” “push/pull colored blocks,” and “infuse/remove color from blocks” and there’s portal traveling as well. All of this happens with pleasant, relaxing ambient music in the background.
Here’s the tutorial to give you a quick sense of the mechanics.
There are about 60 levels overall through 7 different tiers of levels. I got into the third tier myself, which gave me a good sense of the game.
Frustrating perspective
The view is 3d isometric. I got frustrated when the perspectives got a bit messy, and there were no grid lines to help see what blocks lined up with vertical spaces in the game. This wasn’t that big of a deal at first, but when I got into the more complex levels, I spent a lot of time just figuring out how things lined up instead of trying to solve the puzzle. Ultimately, that’s the reason I put the game down.
