11 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe gameplay features innovative puzzle mechanics with gradual difficulty progression and requires significant experimentation, offering a challenging experience for puzzle enthusiasts. However, some controls, like the oversensitive jumping, can lead to frustration and repeated failures. Overall, the game successfully delivers engaging puzzles and dynamic mechanics that keep players mentally invested.
“Between the main actions of extruding and retracting elements of the level, portal-esque cubes and balls that must be placed on switches, and more complex mechanics such as the electric wires (one of my favourite parts!), the later levels become increasingly challenging to solve and usually require a lot of experimentation.”
“Overall: if you're looking for a puzzle game with interesting mechanics and want to actually feel challenged (I'm looking at you, Portal 2!), then I'd recommend Duplexer.”
“Combined with the over-sensitive jumping mechanic (which only allows you to jump up one space but along about 5 spaces), this results in large amounts of unnecessary failure which means continually re-solving the level again and again until you finally don't overshoot the block you're trying to land on (this happened four times to me in the same level).”
“Before you claim that there's some mechanic later on that will make everything better, note that that doesn't change a thing about my complaints based on what I've seen so far.”
“It's clear from the screenshots and trailer that the developer's main focus was gameplay, and the mechanics reflect that: each one has an introductory level where the player gets to mess around with it, before steadily upping the difficulty of the puzzles to the point where it almost seems unfair.”
