Poorzzle (don’t even think about playing that trash)

I really like puzzle games that don’t explain anything.
Trying to figure out the mechanics and all their possible interactions in hard sokoban games, figuring out the rules in witness-like games, seeking for the twisted solutions of That Level Again… it’s fun.

But Poorzzle completely misses the point.
The game is about clicking and seeing what happens; then you try to find something logical you can do. Well, why not.

The problem is that you barely get anything to work with. I’ll take the example of That Level Again : in that game, you loop through the same room over and over and each instance has a unique (and sometimes crazy) solution, hinted by its title.
This is what Poorzzle lacks, a simple vague hint. Otherwise, there’s absolutely no fun and that’s the core thing any game must have.

I finished the 12 basic levels and half of the reversed-ones. Most of them are extremely easy even if you don’t fully understand why it works (you’ll randomly find the solution); some of them should just be deleted. Seriously, who had fun with the rotating circular puzzle?
Then I clicked on an arrow near the title and it wiped everything, so I stopped there.

Let’s recap. Poorzzle should be a thinky game that has rather hard and obscure solutions hinted by a simple sentence or even a few words.
But what we get is a bunch of extremely easy puzzles without hint that you can solve even if you don’t understand anything at all.

I could also talk about the nonsense the game throws at you, the absurd price, the fact that my save got wiped, the total absence of options, the useless life counter… but I think it’s already clear that nobody should buy Poorzzle.

I clearly can’t recommend a game that is completely flawed at its core. Probably the worst thing I’ve ever played.

Now that some time has passed and I come back to that game for my website, it happens that it was a miserable scam from the beginning. There has never been any intent to make a good game or improve, what a waste of my time.
