    Can you explain to me why early 20th century Dutch graphic artist M.C. Escher became a fad for everyone’s t-shirt in the early 90’s? Maybe because the illustration are just mind bending awesome. This is probably the same thinking behind Bedtime Digital Games decision to build a game around the style of M.C. Escher with some additional flavors of Salvador Dalí.

    Not to be confused with    Can you explain to me why early 20th century Dutch graphic artist M.C. Escher became a fad for everyone’s t-shirt in the early 90’s?

Escher with some additional flavors of Salvador Dalí.

    Not to be confused with the other recent M.C. Escher influenced puzzle game The Bridge, this is the more colorful game and in my opinion better looking. The visuals are great and really make this game worth playing even if the gameplay is using a tired well worn concept used by puzzle games for decades. Basically a character is continuously moving in one direction that requires redirection using obstacles to reach the exit. The puzzles here are not hard and often can be solved with some simple trial and error. The game comes with 30 puzzles and an additional 30 levels the reuse the same levels but are slightly harder. It won’t take you long to get through this game and even the developer challenges you with a trophy to complete the game entirely in 45 minutes. There are few cutscenes of static images but no real story. Music and sound is sparse but sets the mood of the game quite well.

    I played the entire game on Vita and it performed excellently. Includes cross save to PS4/PS3 just in case you need it to get through the couple of hours of gameplay.

    Overall, I quite enjoyed the game and I feel it is worth $15 for light puzzle fun especially as someone who always wondered what it would be like to be in a M.C. Escher illustration.    … Expand

    Sure, its art is pretty cool, but certainly not cool enough to make up for its annoying challenges.

    Back to Bed on the PlayStation Network is a competent albeit unremarkable puzzler that's over before it can get satisfying. Great art and a decent bonus mode at least help to make the experience somewhat enjoyable, though the hefty $20 price is hardly worth paying when you can get it for much less elsewhere.

    It's not a bad game by any stretch of the imagination, but its short duration and uneven difficulty doesn't match up with its unique world.
