  • The gravity manipulation mechanic is innovative and well-executed, providing a unique puzzle-solving experience.
  • The game features beautiful graphics, a great soundtrack, and a well-presented sci-fi story that adds depth to the gameplay.
  • The level design offers a good difficulty curve, with a mix of simple and challenging puzzles that keep players engaged.
  • The platforming mechanics can feel imprecise, making some sections frustratingly difficult due to the character's momentum.
  • The game may not appeal to everyone, as some players find the physics engine chaotic and the puzzles can lead to frequent deaths.
  • The writing and plot may lack depth, with some players feeling that the story elements are not fully developed or engaging.
  • gameplay10 mentions

    The gameplay of the puzzle game is centered around two innovative mechanics: gravity switching and time dilation, which are well-integrated into the level design, providing a rich and engaging experience. While the mechanics may initially be challenging to master, they are presented with clarity, allowing players to navigate the complexities effectively. Overall, the game is praised for its polish and creativity, making it a standout in the puzzle genre.

    • “Constant C is a puzzle game but with two extremely compelling and well-rounded mechanics: gravity switching and time dilation.”
    • “Gravity switching is a fairly obvious one, but the time switching mechanic is easily one of the most impressive puzzle mechanics I've seen.”
    • “It's innovative and well-used mechanics are on par with some of the industry's best, and the degree of polish and love put into this game make it a very enjoyable experience.”
    • “The developer is completely unknown; the screenshots look fine, the trailer is a tad bombastic and shows off the main mechanic of the game fairly well, but it's still a very standard puzzle game.”
    • “Poor rescue robot must have died 100 times because I shifted gravity left when I should have gone right. The jumping physics of the gameplay also takes some getting used to. The robot seems to 'moon jump,' which is appropriate considering the game takes place in a space station, with lots of sliding when landing and momentum to account for when timing the jump.”
    • “Unlike some puzzle games where the main mechanic is used sparingly because the level designer couldn't come up with puzzles good enough to use it well, this game is almost entirely around these mechanics with a couple of small and really well-rounded twists to the time dilation mechanic.”
  • music7 mentions

    The music in the game is generally praised for being atmospheric and enjoyable, effectively complementing the gameplay without being overpowering.

    • “The music is quite good and muted for the most part, making for a good background while you conjure up solutions to these conundrums.”
    • “The art/animation is adorable, the soundtrack fits the game well and is very atmospheric/enjoyable.”
    • “The physics are nice and smooth, the art is neat, and the soundtrack is great.”
    • “At the time of writing, the 'kickass soundtrack' hasn't kicked in yet.”
    • “So far the music has been very soothing, minimalist, or so atmospheric as to be barely present.”
  • story4 mentions

    • “The sci-fi story is interesting and well presented; the music is great, the graphics are impressive for the type of game and its age, and the humorous touches land well.”
    • “The writing comprising the plot is an interesting dichotomy, as it features many child-like elements interspersed with mature ideas.”
    • “There has been a little foreshadowing of the only other active character in the main storyline.”
    • “However, I'm not sure I have the patience to complete constant C levels at a rate that would keep me interested in the story.”
