Flip the Gun vs Superliminal
Flip the Gun
Flip the Gun is a fun arcade-like action game where you shoot a gun and use its recoil to push the gun upwards into the sky for as long as you can. Utilizing realistic gun physics, the gun may tumble and turn depending on the angle you fire it at. Not to mention, you cannot simply fire the gun as you wish - you only have so many bullets. Although you can still collect more ammo along the way, this can prove to be quite tricky since a recoil-charged gun can be hard to control. There are also power-ups as well. There's, for instance, a blue arrow power-up which will give your gun that extra boost so it can go a little bit higher.The game gives you a score depending on how far you manage to go as well as how well you do (how many coins you collected, for example). Your highest score will then be ranked on the leaderboard alongside other players'.
Overall, Flip the Gun is a surprisingly simple yet intricately complex game that is just so addictive to play. It may not be the next "Flappy Bird" but it comes quite close. The game is free on both Android and iOS.
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!
