An enjoyable shortish escape game in space, February 3, 2016

Stephen Granade is the author of Losing Your Grip, one of my favorite games. So I was excited to try this one.

This was entered in the Jay is Games casual gameplay competition, which produced another favorite game, Plotkin's Dual Transform. In Fragile Shells, you play an astronaut with a concussion in a piece of a space station that is heavily damaged. You have to figure out a way to get out.

The game was fun; there are 8 points to win, and each is a relatively simple task, but requires some lateral thinking. I was able to get about 5-6 points on my own. However, I had some trouble when I knew what I needed to do, but didn't know about certain capabilities of the equipment. (For instance, I didn't know with the panel that you could (Spoiler - click to show)connect two wires together<\spoiiler>).

Overall, a fun, fairly short game. Good for fans of science fiction.

I encourage you and any other user sick of these posts to 'plonk' me, which will remove my posts from your newsfeed. I wrote these several months ago, and they are scheduled to appear at least until the end of March.

This prescheduling also makes it so that my future reviews will not be able to incorporate your feedback.

Also, if you want to know what I find to be the pinnacle of fun and enjoyment, I encourage you to try the Sorcery! series by Inkle. The pinnacle may change by next week, but even the north star is changeable.
