Using spatial relations to literally twist a simple puzzle game upside-down, Puzzle Dimension is the newest head-scratcher available for download on PSN. Playing as a golden ball, you are required to navigate floating platforms to collect flowers needed to open an exit portal. Limited to only rolling or jumping one square at a time, you learn quickly that a single misstep will mean a dive into the void, necessitating starting over from the beginning.
Doctor Entertainment has pushed out a sizable Puzzle Dimension update, available now automatically for owners of the casual puzzler. The latest patch comes with a long list of improvements, additions, optimizations, and changes to various areas of the game.
Original Gamer: "The puzzle genre in its history has generally catered to a more specific audience compared to the casual fan or gamer. Puzzle Dimension, available for both PSN and PC, is no exception to this general rule of thumb. Boasting 100 puzzles and lush graphics this $10 downloadable title cranks up the challenge with its simple mechanics on PSN. However, repeated puzzle offerings prevent the title from becoming an instant classic."
GameShark - It's got to be tough to be a puzzle game that's released while people are still playing the hell out of Portal 2. It's got to be especially tough when that game has more in common with Monkey Ball than anything that's come out in recent memory. That's the situation Puzzle Dimension finds itself in, now that it's arrived on the PlayStation Network, and it's all the more surprising that it turns out this little title is as good as it is.
