About This Game "Tiny Brains" is a cooperative action puzzler that follows four super-powered lab animals in their attempt to escape a mad scientist's experiments. In this joyously chaotic multiplayer game, the four "Tiny Brains" must combine their unique physics-based powers to navigate through a trick-ridden maze. All of the puzzles in "Tiny Brains" can be solved multiple ways depending on how groups combine their powers. The game has competitive and challenging fast paced communicative play along with simple controls so players of any level can jump right in. KEY GAMEPLAY FEATURES •Cooperative Gaming: Tiny Brains requires players to collaborate and put their heads together to overcome physics-based obstacles. With each player controlling a different superpower – Create, Force, Vortex and Teleport – the Tiny Brains must work as a team to move forward and escape the scientist’s deadly labyrinth of mazes. •Play It Your Way: All of the puzzles in Tiny Brains can be solved multiple ways depending on how groups combine their powers. The co-op level design creates dynamic, emergent gameplay, whether advancing through the campaign mode, beating time-based challenges, or competing in endless levels. •Whimsical World: To escape the mad scientist’s lair, players explore a colorful world of Popsicle stick-like ice pops, duct tape, tiny cages and Rube Goldberg machines. The zany art style gives rise to a slew of slightly mutated, yet oddly cute, playable characters. •Hardcore to Casual: Tiny Brains eggs on hardcore gamers with competitive leaderboards and fast-paced communicative play, challenging them to combine their powers as efficiently as possible. At the same time, the game has simple controls and physics-based mechanics that make it easy for casual and less-experienced gamers to jump right in. 1075eedd30 Title: Tiny BrainsGenre: Action, Adventure, Casual, IndieDeveloper:Spearhead GamesPublisher:Spearhead GamesRelease Date: 11 Dec, 2013 Tiny Brains Download Utorrent Windows 10 Only played for a little over an hour, but holy jesus, this game is the ultimate party puzzle game!

Only played for a little over an hour, but holy jesus, this game is the ultimate party puzzle game! You really need 4 players and 4 controllers. It's totally worth the price, The four of us can't wait to hang out and continue the adventure!. Great game for a one-time local-coop play through. Mechanics do get old and repetitive, but main story is only ~2 hours. The bottom line is you should get this game if:-You have access to "friends" for local coop-Are okay with about 2.5 hours of gameplay-And most importantly, it's on sale. Tiny Brains is a game that it would seem I should enjoy it. It\u2019s a physics-based platformer with four characters, each given a special power. The game has four lab animals of different types, but rather than heavily name-checking them, the game spends the entire game calling them \u201cTiny Brains.\u201d At the beginning of the game, you choose one of the four. If you\u2019re playing solo, it\u2019s rather academic because the player is required to swap between the four characters to complete the game. So why make it a choice?Each of the four characters has an ability, and they are given names early on, but because the names are only said once, and, as mentioned, the game constantly just calls them by \u201cTiny Brains\u201d I refer to them as \u201cSuck\u201d \u201cPush\u201d \u201cSwap\u201d and \u201cIce\u201d. \u201cSuck\u201d and \u201cPush\u201d is quite literal. One sucks any objects in it\u2019s range towards him, push repels them forcibly. \u201cSwap\u201d can change places with any object which just teleports both objects to the other\u2019s position. \u201cIce\u201d creates Ice blocks and can explode them to propel him or other objects (usually upwards). I will say this, all of the power are pretty good. Not great, as \u201cTeleport\u201d seems to have odd range restrictions, though I think that\u2019s to help gamify the systems. \u201cPush\u201d on the other hand should have been really frustrating, but is actually a joy to play with. \u201cIce\u201d feels a bit overused especially to make jumps, and \u201cSuck\u201d is underused.Of course, it wouldn\u2019t really be a puzzler if you couldn\u2019t combine powers. For the most part, you\u2019ll combine \u201cIce\u201d and \u201cPush\u201d, sometimes with \u201cTeleport\u201d after it. Almost always in that order. This is the weakness of the game. There is a good synergy but there\u2019s really only a handful of ways the game uses it, and I think part of the problem is the powers are limited. Requiring the game to be completable by a single player becomes a weakness of the system. At the same time, I wonder if multiplayer would be more repetition (requiring more teleports) or more of a delight. I can\u2019t tell you as I didn\u2019t have the opportunity.I can, however, tell you most of the puzzles are relatively interesting though there were quite a few \u201caction sequences\u201d which involved using \u201cPush\u201d and \u201cSuck\u201d to move objects around or \u201cIce\u201d and \u201cPush\u201d to fight enemies. By the end of the first level, you have seen most of the synergies and learned the one technique the game feels like it needs to specifically call out. The rest of the game continues using the same techniques. There are small bits of complexity added in later, such as using an ice brick, pushing it, and then exploding it to propel yourself up to use teleport, but you can do that in the original level. Of course, any game in the modern era has to have a story, and this is where Tiny Brains starts to have trouble. It\u2019s not that there is not a story, there is. It is just nothing that great. When you finish the game you see the whole story, and it\u2019s not awful, but there\u2019s never a moment in the story where I felt really entranced by it. There is a crazy scientist saying silly things, usually about trying to trap our heroes, but it feels a bit expected in gaming to have a quirky narrator. That would be fine, but it\u2019s not that interesting. A lot of the dialogue feels random, with four animals the only one talking is the scientist for the entire game, and it\u2019s trying to be clever, but never really made me pay attention, I just tried to beat the next puzzle to see more of the game. The game itself just isn\u2019t a big delight. Tiny Brains only has about five enemies if I am counting correctly. There are a few interesting moments, but nothing that really shined over other games. The locations are relatively sane, being laboratory test cages for the most part. There are a few interesting items in the world but nothing I would call out as especially unique. The puzzles in the game are mostly easy. The only real trick is to remember you can ride an ice block and push it at the same time. That was the only thing that challenged me, and it was about forgetting something. Other than that, I would often walk into a room, see a task, and have to play with the objects in the room for less than five minutes to get a solution, even the hardest rooms are quickly dispatched due to the number of objects to interact with.The action scenes I mentioned earlier, such as rolling a ball up a curved incline are the only parts I had a minor struggle with. Most of the struggles were because it was more action based than puzzling, and the character\u2019s abilities don\u2019t really give a good way to beat them in single player. I beat the game in under 3 hours. That\u2019s fast, though about the same speed as Portal, but Portal came with bonus stages that I wanted to play, and I absolutely adored the story. Tiny Brains takes a shorter time and just isn\u2019t as compelling. There are bonus stages here, but I played most of them once and didn\u2019t feel like trying again to top my score. Sure it meant I didn\u2019t get to play all the bonus stages, but part of me knew I didn\u2019t want to in the first place. I finished the story and the bonus stages are just harder versions of levels that can be done to award stars for distance or time. There is one factor that I\u2019m forced to admit might change someone\u2019s opinion of the game. I didn\u2019t play this in multiplayer. And perhaps that\u2019s the secret to the game. Maybe the game is really fun in multiplayer. But I have some thoughts on it. First two player would seem like it\u2019s chaos. One player could do everything with the other player only assisting some of the time, or the players would keep switching characters and it\u2019s almost a fight for the right character. If you somehow got four players for the game, maybe it\u2019s really great, but I can\u2019t imagine having \u201cSuck\u201d as a power is going to be great. \u201cSuck\u201d and possibly \u201cTeleport\u201d seem like utilitarian powers, whereas \u201cIce\u201d and \u201cPush\u201d are core powers. But like I said, I don\u2019t know, maybe this game is awesome in multiplayer, but I think I\u2019d have more fun playing something more like Overcooked, Cuphead, or Cook, Serve, Delicious! With someone. Before I finish there\u2019s one more issue I have with this game. When I switched the game to windowed mode and tried to leave the game, the game froze on me, twice. When I played Tiny Soccer, after the match the game froze on me. I also got stuck in the floor on chapter 2. These were the only bugs, but I only played for about 3 hours. Still, it\u2019s a 5-year-old game, I\u2019m surprised there are still bugs, but I won\u2019t let that affect the review too much, it\u2019s still an odd problem. So truthfully, I had some enjoyment with this game. I got it in a Humble Bundle for this game and played it based on the Completionist\u2019s recommendation on Youtube. But to me, it didn\u2019t live up to the hype. While I enjoyed my time with the game, I paid for it so long ago and so little (6 bucks for 6 games) that my enjoyment was mostly because I was playing a random game in my library. Having to spend ten bucks on this game, definitely would change my opinion. But in addition, I was able to play it quickly, write this review and move on in a handful of hours. Not a great bar, but at least a positive one for a reviewer. I don\u2019t think this game is worth the money, and I think the length of the game is a huge problem. This could be changed of course if you are looking for a couch co-op game, or really just have to have every physics puzzler, but I think Tiny Brains isn\u2019t the top of the barrel. I don\u2019t hate the game but I don\u2019t recommend it. If however, you want to find a different game to spend your money on or just want to see what I think of other games, check out my curator page at http:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/curator\/31803828-Kinglink-Reviews\/ and give me a follow. I always appreciate it.. Played through with my wife and she was skeptical as to whether it would be worth it. We wre both surprised at how good this little gem is. Haven't broken into the other modes of the game, but Co-op is top notch. This is better than what I thought I was getting for what I paid. Great attention to detail from artists. Each of the levels are wrought with little things which are amuzing when you notice them but never detract from the experience or your focus on the challenge at hand. The puzzles are not overly challenging but they still invoke real problem solving skills. Anyone who enjoys playing games with their friends will find Tiny Brains to fit the bill.. This is a case where I wish Steam reviews weren't binary "recommended" or "not recommended" decisions. This game falls somewhere in the middle for me but I'm gonna round down. It's not a bad game in any sense that it's buggy or has real "issues" (although I read online coop is broken, haven't tried it). But it's really short and the puzzles just aren't really challenging at all. I played local coop with 3 others of varying "gaming" skills and we still breezed through it without scratching our heads but maybe once. And the script is annoyingly un-funny as well. If it's less than $5 then maybe give it a shot but otherwise don't waste your money.. Pretty good puzzle game\/chaos simulator. Bought 4 copies to play with friends, the on-line multi-player is broken. Forums filled with same problems of not everything being able to join like we were experencing. Last developer post was in April 2014 promising an update which never appeared. I recommend never buying from this developer again.
