Ratings and reviews

I only have good things to say about this game. For starters, the music is wonderful. It was the first thing I noticed. And the game itself. It's simple but effective. Nothing more than a puzzle game, and it needn't be anything more. Its puzzles are logic based. It doesn't do explaining, it lets you learn for yourself, guiding you discretely but not to demean you, as if to assume you're a bit of a moron, like I've found that some games do. The levels make you think, but are not insanely difficult or nonsensical. I believe there were only one or two puzzle I solved, where I was unsure exactly what the pattern was to what I did was that resulted in my solving it. I never got stressed, I never felt mocked. It doesn't feel like a game that's trying to outsmart you, it feels like a game that wants to give you a moment to think, and a moment to relax. There were a few that I spent a considerable amount of time on, but I was determined to not look at hints, and to figure each puzzle out without growing desperate or taking an irrational approach, and that is what I did. I felt refreshed when I finished the game. I appreciate it very much, and recommend indeed.

Full disclosure, I received a code for this game from the developer. That being said, I loved this game. It's another great addition to the escape the room or mysterious puzzle genres. And the sound design is wonderful, I especially love the music. Excited to see what else this developer does... If I ever finish this delightfully frustrating game...

I was given a code for this game by the developer. Turn It On is a technically sound game held back by frustrating puzzle design. I enjoyed the aesthetics, especially how it managed to blend sleek modern puzzle boxes and antique boxes with a similar visual style. The levels relied too often on execution rather than puzzle solving. Some levels even re-use solutions. Knowing how the level is solved but slightly messing up the execution gets very frustrating very fast.
