Cookie Jam vs Superliminal
Cookie Jam
Cookie Jam is one of the few but popular match-3 puzzle game that has a following that rivals that of any games from King. Developed by Jam City, Cookie Jam provides the fun match-3 gameplay you'd expect from a... well, match-3 game but interestingly, you'll actually be matching sweet desserts that match the orders you receive from your customers. The game also offers varying challenges, which mostly include obstacles set up by the delinquent gingerbread man with some rather special level goals to achieve too.Cookie Jam's shot to fame can be mainly credited to its unique level goals and challenges but the game has put in some serious effort in making each level as engaging as the one before. If you're looking for something other than a Saga game to play, we would strongly recommend Cookie Jam.
Superliminal
Superliminal is designed to challenge even the most avid of puzzle solvers, providing them with mind-boggling puzzles, the unique ability to change the size of objects based on depth in perception, and a story filled with heart.The game starts off with you dozing off at the couch in front of a TV showing a weird commercial about some dream therapy program that promptly landed you in a weird dream-like state in which you find yourself the subject of an odd scientific experiment. Thankfully, unlike the more surgical kind of experimentation which would definitely turn the game into a horror show, the scientist behind this experiment is more concerned about testing your mind and its ability to perceive, pushing it to its very limits.
Superliminal offers a nice variety of perspective-based puzzles for you to solve as you move from room to room in what seems to be a vast yet empty scientific complex. The puzzles here start off easy enough since the game does have to do its job of introducing the mechanics to you. The mechanics here mostly involve finding objects that you can manipulate (a.k.a. resize and reposition) and then use in the puzzle’s solution in order to move on to the next “level” or room.
Once you got a hold of the basics, the difficulty of the puzzles starts to ramp up and at times, you might find yourself completely at loss as to what you should do, as I did… and I’m ashamed to say pretty early on in the game. When the game says that “what you see isn’t always what you get”, it’s not kidding.
Superliminal is one of those rare, trippy puzzle games that either you get it or you don’t. Puzzle enthusiasts might find the game more than intriguing to take a crack at due to its unique perspective-based puzzles. The game may be short but the experience it leaves you is unforgettable!
