Glyph vs Unravel
Glyph
Glyph is a marble-based platformer designed to specifically delight speedrunners. The game puts you into the little legs of a scarab as it rolls across various increasingly challenging obstacle courses, collecting keys, coins, and artifacts along the way. As you unlock new sections of the ancient temple and complete more levels, you’ll eventually reveal the story behind the desert world you find yourself in, and why the sand is like lava (will kill you when touched) here.Glyph is one of those indie games that will definitely surprise you. The controls feel smooth and responsive, a crucial factor in platformers that sometimes require precision jumping, and the level designs are flat-out fantastic. Personally, I’ve had some absolute joy, and frustration, playing this game so far, and similar to Distance, I’m sure that the sense of accomplishment at the very end, once I’ve managed to complete every level, will be truly unbeatable.
Unravel
Unravel is a very unique puzzle-platformer that features an adorable yarn-made character that’s aptly called Yarny. With a heart-warming story that has no words to drive the game, you’ll get to set off on a beautiful adventure with Yarny as he tries to reconnect the long-lost memories of his family.The gameplay in Unravel is simply amazing. Being a physics-based puzzle game, players will need to use Yarny’s single thread to interact with the gorgeous game environment, which was inspired by the beautiful forests of Northern Scandinavia by the way, to swing across a wide gap or hitch a ride on a flying kite. Although the puzzles may seem difficult or maybe impossible at first, the tools that you/Yarny has is more than enough to solve them.
Unravel is not only a fun and challenging puzzle game but it also provides players with an emotional, heartfelt journey and a charming character to play as. It’s an excellent game and is one you should definitely play especially if you’re into games from this sort of genre.
