The game was reviewed on PC using a “retail” Epic Games store code provided by Pillow Castle. Superliminal is now available on Windows PC. ![]() And as the game was so fond of reminding me, perception is reality. Perhaps there’s an angle from which Superliminal is a satisfying, Portal-style thriller, but unfortunately, I wasn’t able to find that angle. But at the same time, my husband had to check on me after he heard me shouting at my screen: “Come on, what the fuck” multiple times. It’s the product of a small studio working for over half a decade. The lack of feedback is maddening this is a finished, polished product with some very impressive scenes, but that makes the roadblocks even more frustrating. And often when I fail I can’t tell why, whether it’s because my idea is bad or the game just isn’t recognizing that I’m doing what I should be doing. I’m just doing the few tricks the game has shown me will work, only for those tricks to sometimes fail due to technical issues, not subversion in the design. I rarely feel accomplished, because I never feel like I am outsmarting the game. In one of the few environmental gags to actually land, I see a garbage can in a recycling bin. My cursor becomes an awkwardly drawn smiley face. A loading bar fills up, only for the frame to expand to the left and fill again. The few clever tricks that make me actually feel on edge play with the sense of how we’re used to interact with games in general, not with these puzzles in particular. That was true! But it wasn’t with the dream, it was with the game itself. Pillow CastleĪt one point, the character who is supposed to be testing me - there’s Portal, again - informs me that I’m “exhibiting signs consistent with an increase in fear, hopelessness, and frustration.” I can tell where the jokes are, but they don’t hit with the weight they should. ![]() Superliminal’s characters get stuck in the same patterns and emotional tone throughout the game, without enough variance for them to come across as characters with their own desires and stakes. The companions in Superliminal are too flat to make much of an impression, if you’ll pardon my pun. There just isn’t the sense of urgency that the design is clearly trying to inspire in me. Even as the game is trying to suggest a sense of isolation and escalation through environmental cues, like soda cases stacked to read DIE as I approach a door, or increasingly incoherent and desperate whiteboards covered in scribbled pleas for me to WAKE UP, I don’t really feel alarmed or concerned. Superliminal struggles as hard to connect on an emotional level as it does to work on a mechanical level. Glenn tries to soothe me but fails, and the female AI repeatedly chides me angrily for not dreaming correctly. I am accompanied by voices as I descend into a dream world, including the affable but unhelpful Dr. As I go deeper into the dream and the world becomes less logical, I paradoxically feel more constricted, not less. I’m moving from segmented level to level trying to figure out what the game wants me to do, instead of having fun with everything that I’ve been shown is possible. This often makes Superliminal feel like Portal. You can’t make everything bigger or smaller, and there are doors every so often that block you from bringing your useful soda cans, exit signs, or chess pieces into the next level. The problem is that Superliminal isn’t a sandbox it’s a puzzle game. It feels like a magic trick, but one that I control. I spend my first hour or so with the game making boxes bigger and then smaller again while chuckling to myself. The key mechanicĮverything comes down to the idea of tampering with reality through the use of perspective, which is legitimately very neat. It sounds soothing, right up until it becomes clear that something, somewhere, has gone wrong, and I’m stuck inside a dream that very quickly begins to feel like a nightmare. I don’t know who I am, but I’m clearly here to test a program and learn something in the process. You see, I’m in a therapy session conducted via dreams. It’s not about what’s real, it’s about what looks real. Portraits, seen in the right way, can become doorways to another environment. I can pick it up as if it were a physical object, and now it’s in my hands. If I stand just right, the block looks real. Later, I find an orange block painted on the walls. This is the key mechanic of Superliminal. However, when I turn and place the soda at the end of the hall, I’ve played a clever trick I can now walk towards the soda can to find its grown to a massive size. When I hold the soda in my hands, it’s quite small. I stand in the hallway of a quiet medical facility, and grab a can of soda from a vending machine. Superliminal is a puzzle game in which perception is reality. ![]()

I give the students X amount of time to remember the information on the screen. What the students have to remember varies. The disadvantage of video timers is that they will only play on one slide and not throughout the duration of the presentation. This is especially useful if you are displaying activity instructions. They can be inserted into any presentation software (as long as you can insert video files), they can be formatted and re-sized, and your presentation will still be visible. Video timers have a number of advantages. Example of a video timer inserted into the corner of a presentation – PowerPoint 2013 My previous post covered some of the basic principles, but I want to write a second installment that deals with longer timers. ![]() They vary from questions about how to add a countdown timer in PowerPoint, to setting a countdown timer for a specific time and how to make a timer in PowerPoint. Since then I have noticed that there have been several search terms that focus on PowerPoint timers. You would have to create your own timers for a presentation or install a flash image. Luckily, I have already produced some templates.Ī while back, ELT-cation asked me about PowerPoint timers for a presentation event, so I produced some 20 Second Timers and wrote a page about how to create PowerPoint timers. You could connect a smartphone timer to a projection screen by using a display adapter, but you couldn’t incorporate it into a presentation. However, if you are giving a presentation and you want to display a timer on a slide, what can you do? Screenshot of the timer available on the iPhone Timers are great and there are a lot of apps out there available for smartphones and tablets and most phones have timers built into them. ![]() 8/31/2023 0 Comments Spiral clicker 0.0.9 updates![]() ![]() As well, the funding campaign to get a start on Spiral Clicker 2 is going well.

Here's what's coming up in this new update: This upcoming update is a big one it not only adds the final minigame, but it also adds three new characters to collect. Many long-standing bugs are still present pretty much exactly because they will require deeper troubleshooting than I have time for in a rapid monthly dev cycle. There will still be updates to the game, as I will keep adding characters in the meantime, but I will be switching Spiral Clicker to a slower update cycle of roughly bi-monthly so as to give myself more time to work on bug fixes and optimization tweaks without the pressure of a looming deadline. I still need to go over the polishing, optimizing, and bug fixing, but I will no longer need to program any new original code for the game, so I won't be introducing anything new that can break to the game. I've been fairly excited for it as actually finishing something is a fairly significant milestone/goal for a creator, and feature-complete is sort of the "almost there!" point.įeature Complete more or less means that every feature that will be in the game, is now in the game. Featuring corresponding hand cursors, each different pointer will surely bring joy and smiles on one’s face and, why not, enhance the browsing experience altogether.It's been a very long time coming, but I've finally reached Feature Complete for Spiral Clicker, which is the first of my main projects to reach this state.
