reky is a stylish puzzler about moving cubes around. it's not a cube-roller though, more like sokoban(ish) with unlimited undo, but you're making a path with the cubes for a black dot to reach the exit. 96 levels altogether in 8 packs, both unlocked one by one. though after the first you won't need to complete every level to get to the next, so there's some 'if I get stuck here, I can try that'. a short and blinding …

reky is an excellent puzzle game. It's well polished and gameplay is clever and unique, where you have to 'jump' a dot around a 3D space to reach the exit. The route to the exit needs to be created though by moving the coloured blocks around. You can use your little dot to change which block is painted to help forge your path to the exit. Having solved each puzzle I enjoy optimising the solution to use the minimum …

A nice and actuall challanging game. But be aware, that the challange is in number of moves and not in so much in puzzle-solving, which may be a deterrent for some. Also, many levels have better-than-expected solutions. Overall, a good game for minimalist puzzle-lover.

Good minimalist style, good puzzles, nice challenge, but bad progression, and a horrible interface with almost no settings. While a good game for its price range, it falls short compared to others of the same weight class. One of the goals is to finish the levels under a certain number of moves, but the move counter is disabled by default and so well hidden that finding it is a puzzle itself. Usually, puzzle games …

neutral · AI labelView post →Simple puzzle game in which you fill up cubes with color in order to move them. Suck color from different blocks. You can move colored cubes only when not standing on them. Pretty much logic. Controls are simple point & click. Minimalistic visuals. Ambient music. Rather soothing experience.

neutral · AI labelView post →The most difficult part of any of the puzzles is figuring out where each portal goes and memorizing that. Same for remembering what state each colored block is in so I know which direction it's going to go when I click on it. Since there is no penalty for getting the wrong portal or forgetting if you already clicked on a block or not beyond hitting the "undo" button I could say that the game should just mark the portals to indicate which one sends you where and indicate on the moving block…

neutral · AI labelView post →Weak puzzle game. For a puzzler to be good, it should have clear and understandable rules - or if the rules are changing, this should be a part of the core mechanic of the game, as it is in the excellent Baba is You. This is definitely not the case with reky. Unfortunately the controls are too janky, the gameplay too simplistic, and the puzzles require too much guessing to know where the cubes will move and what will happen. In a world with thousands of excellent games around, there's no point…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Another awesome minimalist puzzle game to calm you down during those last 15 minutes before going to bed late at night. Its straight-forward concept is applied in a million ways, becoming more and more challenging in the higher levels. On top of that you get clean-cut graphics, great ambient music, and simplistic spot-on sound effects. Great value for a low price!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very challenging, but fun! Minimal in its conception with use of color to contribute interest. Unique use of cubes in ways to motivate one to seek the solution, but forgiving in its offerings of undo the previous move or restart the puzzle. Refreshingly creative!!

neutral · AI labelView post →I went in expecting this game to be good since its clean art style makes it look pretty professional, but within a few minutes I realised it's just another one of those ♥♥♥♥ tier puzzle games that just feels like random clicking. There's no way of telling which direction blocks move in, which is only made worse when they sometimes decide to change where they move after you take the colour off and put it back on. Portals aren't visually linked, and the end goal looks the same as regular portals.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A good-looking logic puzzle game about creating a path to the end portal by shifting blocks. Blocks can only be moved when they are coloured, and each colour in a level represents a fixed move that you can apply and reapply to any accessible blank block. There are no Escher-style impossible perspectives and normal gravity applies but there can be many identical portals that you need to try out to find where they end up. Not all the geometric elements you see in the pictures are used in the…

Just remember to do something small for yourself as a pick-me-up; a snack, or a favourite game, perhaps a soundtrack or a comedy skit, etc.. Cheers, Reky! 💙

Yes Is it better to wait for a sale? No, fair price When people say they play puzzle games, this is the kind of game I think of, not just a game with puzzle-like features. This is genuinely a puzzle game, and it is pretty good. It gives you a simple but satisfying experience where you can sit back, think through the levels, and enjoy the…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Puzzles are either cleverly designed or very infuriatingly annoying (especially the levels with verticality). It's like they keep hammering the same mechanic/solution 10 times within a single level. Overall it's fun, I think the threshold for 3 star could be more lenient, sometimes one misclick or extra move will make you redo the level. In the end I finished the game 100% in about 4 hours.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A lot of puzzles in this game are pretty straightforward, but some are still somewhat complicated and not terrible. Overall this game is pretty simple, but it can still be challenging and it is a decent experience. If you see this game on sale for a few dollars, (or even for full price if you're that interested in it), might as well pick it up.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Reky, your passwords truly are their own art-form. Honestly, this looks more like a Game Genie cheat code than a password, though. Or some chanted spell for summoning a bucket of cold water.
neutral · AI labelView post →looks great, but was very disappointing to me. It got boring so quickly
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Oh yes. A very nice minimalist concept but giving real brain work to complete some challenges. And if you're aiming at 3 stars on each levels, some can take some real time to figure out. Really great simple game for all puzzle lovers.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Review for people with visual impairment. - No accessibility options - No colorblind mode I get that this is the minimalistic puzzler but a few tweaks would help. FE: Adding an option to zoom in using mouse scroll. colorblind mode is a must of course. The game is ok from what I played, nothing new. You can change the background color and that is the only option really.I could play this using Windows Magnifier but I refuse to. Lazy mobile port so a big no if you are visually impaired.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A surprisingly innovative puzzle game. If puzzles are your thing, I'd definitely recommend this. It's simple, yet so complex. I won the game as a gift from a streamer. And I'm reasonably impressed with it. It is a little hard on the eyes after a few minutes though, you can change the background in the level but it reverts back each time. I didn't really dig into settings but that's my only complaint.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If 2 monument valley games weren't enough and you want to see its mechanics as a pure puzzler, that's what this is.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Difficulty: High. Don't let the relaxing music fool you; the later worlds are a "masterclass in logical challenges." Playtime: Roughly 3–6 hours depending on how fast your brain clicks with isometric logic. Best for: People who enjoy Path of Giants or Monument Valley but want more complex, pure-logic gameplay.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A nice little puzzle game. There are about 100 levels (increasingly difficult as you progress), and on each one you must guide a ball to an exit, pushing around some cubes. Not really exceptional or innovative, and some levels are very similar to others (giving you an eerie deja vu feeling), but it's good fun.
