Logi-Gun

I thought I was pretty much over grappling platform games, but once again, screenshots have deceived me. The grappling gun is only one of six guns in Logi-Gun, a pretty darn awesome puzzle platformer from Darklink570. Each of your six weapons is introduced via a training mission (I like how you’re cockteased by getting to see the weapons in the level before you can use them), and they’re quite varied in their usage.

I have to say, some of the puzzles are really, really devious, but I never found myself too frustrated, which is testament to the designer’s prowess. Okay, well a couple of the puzzles with the bow and arrow made me punch myself in the face in anger, but that’s about it! Otherwise, it’s a downright splendid game.

Note: I ran into a serious bug in level 1-5: “Polarity for Dummies,” that kept me from progressing. I exited the level on the second screen by pressing ESC, and when I reloaded it, I started on right side of the first screen without my polarity gun. I haven’t heard about this bug anywhere else, but be careful anyway! You may want to back up your save game before that point. I’ve already messaged Darklink570 about it. (This bug has been fixed by Darklink570 and the download at the above link now includes the patch.)
