Semblance is a innovative platformer with deformable terrain, set in a beautiful minimalist world. It's a game that asks, what if you could deform and reshape the world itself? Semblance takes the idea of a 'platform' in a platformer and turns it on it’s head. What if platforms were actually part of the gameplay, part of the way you solved problems?

"Nyamakop has successfully completed the requirements for a good puzzle-platformer: a charming art direction, with part of the world made of playdough, and a creative gameplay experience that allows the player to shape the environment. A little too short, Semblance is definitely a worthwhile game for the Nintendo Switch." ... Read full review

"Semblance lets you deform your platforms to solve puzzles how you want, but it limits your tools so severely that the promise of that idea is wasted on mediocre puzzles. It has a neat look, but like its core mechanic, it wears thin even before you get to the end of your two hour trip through the game." ... Read full review

Beat this short platformer/puzzler with the interesting mechanic of altering the environment to complete puzzles on the Switch.

Pros: -
Beat this short platformer/puzzler with the interesting mechanic of altering the environment to complete puzzles on the Switch.

Pros:
- Cool concept with the altering the environment
- In general the controls felt good

Cons:
- I had a tough time after not playing for a week figuring out if I "beat" an area or not - the color coding isn't obvious
- In general I wasn't a fan of the art style
- Even for 9.99 felt short
