Astroslugs is a colorful and soothing puzzle game for PC and Mac that is extremely easy to pick up. It features interesting puzzles which require you to fit a number of different shapes upon a board. You fill all available spaces with all the available shapes to solve each one. We have focused on simplifying the role of placing pieces – there is no moving pieces into place and clicking buttons to rotate and flip. Instead, you use your mouse to draw them into place, while drawing over an already present shape will remove it. It’s a very simple mechanic which anyone can easily understand. The story of the game revolves around the evil but slightly incompetent Astroslugs who strive to leave their home planet and conquer the universe. Their only problem: They have no source of energy to jumpstart their space craft. Now they turn to you to fix this problem and get them on their way to the stars.
Nice little puzzle game. Astroslugs is reminiscent of the classic pentomino puzzle in that it tasks you with fitting a set of shapes into a defined space. Each level has multiple solutions, and you can solve every level at your own pace.
The art is excellent; colourful and friendly, and with lots of humour in the critter designs. The music is also pretty nice, there's some goofy brass tunes and some more relaxed listening for when you're solving a puzzle.
I don't really have any complaints, aside from the strangely long (but not really) loading times. It could also probably do with a few more stages.
Overall a very well made game, and recommended.
The game actually is not bad, but most of your time you spend staring at the loading screens! Which is astonishing, given it's an iOS game...
very tricky games!
