Semblance
Description (IGDB)
Semblance is an 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 its head.

Description Steam (Français)
Semblance est un jeu de plateforme innovant, qui se déroule dans un magnifique monde minimaliste et malléable. Un jeu qui évoque la possibilité de modifier la forme du monde. Un jeu de plate-forme qui renverse le concept des plates-formes. Et si les plateformes faisaient partie intégrante du gameplay et de la façon de résoudre les énigmes ?
Explorez un monde dans lequel tout est souple, où les consistances 'dures' n'existent pas. Chacun des trois mondes du jeu explore les façons dont une planète pourrait évoluer, changer et se déformer et quelles en seraient les conséquences. Combattez l'étrange infection cristalline qui affecte les matériaux durs en libérant les essences de vie du monde et découvrez les obscures raisons de son apparence.
- Un gameplay original et innovant de plateformes déformables: Vous n'arrivez pas à atteindre un objet ? Élevez votre point de départ en modifiant la forme du terrain. Des piquants acérés vous barrent la route ? Modelez le sol pour l'abaisser et vous permettre de passer. Affinez, rebondissez, aplatissez et déformez le monde et votre personnage afin de résoudre les énigmes qui se présentent à vous.
- Des graphismes séduisants et minimalistes: Explorez trois mondes minimalistes pleins de charme et de couleurs, de créatures insolites et de paysages apaisants. Laissez-vous envoûter par la musique dynamique de chacun des mondes et ses rythmes subtilement africains.
- Une aventure non linéaire: Le jeu vous permet d'aller d'une énigme à un autre à votre guise, sans vous obliger à en résoudre une pour progresser et en vous laissant libre de revenir plus tard. De la même ffaçon, l'histoire du jeu est présentée de façon expansive et vous pouvez l'explorer et la recomposer au gré de vos envies, tandis que vous évoluez dans le jeu.

On incarne un blob qui peut changer de forme et "dasher" sur les murs, plafond, sol pour en modifier sa forme. Tout ca donne lieu un puzzle-game bien foutu, agréable visuellement et musicalement somptueux. Donc je le recommande pour les personnes ai...
[h3] En bref [/h3] Petite expérience de plateformer/puzzle très intéressante. La mécanique centrale du jeu est diversifiée par une "nouvelle règle" par monde. Le jeu est court mais cache quelques secrets pour les plus observateurs [h3] Points for...
Le concept est bon MAIS... Le jeu est bourré de bug. Les plateformes vous éjecte alors que sa devrais pas ou ne le font pas quand elles le devraient. On passe régulièrement a travers le décor ou alors on se retrouve bloqué dedans. On doit refaire 150...
Excellent petit jeu de puzzle ! Un peu court, mais le gameplay change de l'ordinaire. Je recommande chaudement !
L'ambiance et les graphismes de Semblance sont vraiment très cools. Le game play est vraiment original et les mécanismes de résolution des puzzles n'ont jamais eu d'égal dans l'histoire du jeu video à ma connaissance. La maniabilité laisse parfois un...

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« Puzzle games can run into the issue of reusing an idea one too many times, ultimately losing its luster, but with Semblance that was never the case. Seemingly around every corner was another new and interesting idea, keeping this wonderfully paced journey fresh beginning to end. »
« Semblance is an astoundingly enjoyable puzzle game that never outstays its welcome. »
« I bless the games down in Africa! [Issue #36 – November/December 2018, p. 21] »
« A fun puzzler platformer that may be too easy to become a real milestone for the genre. »
« Semblance offers an intriguingly fresh take on the age-old 2D platformer. Its story may be all visual and very much open to interpretation, but what it lacks in narrative density it more than makes up for with a generous helping of levels to explore where the platforming itself is a vital part of the puzzle to be solved. While it's lacking in long-term replay value, it’s a definitely worth your time if you’re looking for a new 2D challenge. »
« Semblance is a fresh and interesting take on puzzle platformers. Players who like testing their mental fortitude will want to jump right in. Those who struggle and are easily frustrated might have more reason to be cautious though »
« Between that design creativity and the sheer stylistic beauty of it, Semblance is a game that'll stick in my mind for a long time. »
« Semblance is a breath of fresh air to the platforming genre and one that is entirely welcome. Puzzle lovers will enjoy the idea of working around a problem, casual players can find enjoyment in every aspect and speedrunners are going to have a blast working out movement tech to beat the game swiftly. No matter what category you fit into, Semblance is a must own game on the Switch, for no other reason than it breaks the mould. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« 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. »
« 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 »
