Happy Glass vs Superliminal
Happy Glass
Happy Glass is a simple yet addictive puzzle game where you'll need to draw a line to help direct the flow of the liquid in the game and fill up the sad glass (because the glass is empty). Like the best puzzle games, Happy Glass is not at all restrictive - you can draw the line whichever place and way you want, and that there are often several ways to complete a level. However, not all of these "ways" may get you that coveted 3-star rating though!The game is both relaxing, since you can take your time figuring out the best line-drawing strategy, and challenging because there are plenty of levels that may seem like a no-brainer on the surface but when you start solving the puzzles, you may find that things aren't as straightforward and easy as you initially thought!
Featuring a similar gameplay to Disney's Where's My Water, Happy Glass is a casual puzzle game that may not boast bombastic graphics and sophisticated gameplay mechanics, but it is still insanely fun to play. If you enjoy a good brain jog, this is a game you'll want to try!
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!
