    Cute art style with interesting puzzles and game mechanics that could span tons of levels. I congratulate the creativity of the developers and hope they keep this high quality up.

    Although the Blob in Semblance looks friendly and soft, the puzzles are sometimes tough.

    Semblance is a game full of excellent and satisfying puzzles, marred only by some odd jankiness and a final level that doesn’t focus on the strengths of what had come before. While short, the experience was overall enjoyable, and a fun take on the idea of a world that can be deformed on your way to finishing a puzzle. It could definitely use more levels, but it doesn’t overstay its welcome, and in the end, isn’t it good for a game to leave you wanting more?
