This physics based puzzle game is gorgeous to look at, with the Unreal Engine providing some spooky visuals that blur the line between the mechanical and organic matter. Unfortunately the experience is over too quickly for you to really enjoy the experience.
This is a charming puzzler with a unique setting and varied tasks. But is also rather short and a little too easy.
A title with some good aspects, especially like the scenario, the gameplay and the graphic appearance; a poor length and a low level of difficulty, though, don't allow Unmechanical to reach a higher rating.

El juego me estaba gustando, pero he llegado a un nivel que no puedo pasar pues necesito mas carbon y no lo puedo conseguir... Estaba equivocado, ya encontre la forma de seguir avanzando, y me ha gustado mucho el juego.

Oyun gorsel icerigiyle ve orta seviye tatlı bulmacalarıyla eglenceli. Kesinlikle bir bulmaca oyunu icin ust seviye gorsel icerik bulunduruyor. Oyun uzun değil ama cok kısa da deil oyunu elestirmek istemiyorum ama bi bitis videosu falan da yok "aa bitti mi" diyorsun ama baslangıcda var merak etmeyin nereden yada nasil geldim buraya diyebiliyorsun. En guzel tarafı ise 2 tane oyun olması. "new game" ve "new game extended dlc" seklinde tabiki ilk olarak "new game" yazandan baslayın. DLC daha cabuk biten kucuk bi oyun daha gibi dusunebilirsiniz. % 100 alınması konusunda gonul rahatlıgıyla tavside ederim. Hele indirimli yakalarsanız kesin kacırmayın. Simdi baktım bi ara 9 lira en dusuk ise 4.5 lira olmus. Simdiden iyi oyunlar. Ozetle (+) ve (-)'leri; + Grafik motoru ve gorselligi + Bulmacalar eglenceli + 2 tane oyunu bir arada bulundurması + İndirimde % 100 alınır - Birazcık kısa - Senaryo hafif garip - Bitisde bir cinematic yada ending videosu gibi bisi yok - İndirimsiz alınmaz gibi duruyor.

As attractive in motion as it is in design, Unmechanical is a majestic 2.5D puzzler.

Like Like so many indie games hitting the market these days, Unmechanical has found yet another way to break the platformer mold and offer up a hefty amount of puzzle solving gameplay for a small price. For the adventures in this title, you will take on the role of a small robot with a propeller and a limited range tractor beam.

This is a great game and with plenty of personality and storyline if one has the patience to look for it. The little hero is being taken advantage of by a lazy, mean janitor. The great mystery is: how important is the heart to the planet? Will our hero dedicate himself to the heart or escape the place that kidnapped him? The complaint is that it is short. That is a plus to me in this game because I love playing it over and over, and doing the different ending depending on my mood!

Set in a hauntingly beautiful steampunk universe with some neat puzzles and physics, I was totally immersed by this game. There is no text, and no voices. Only incredible visuals, simple sound effects and some atmospheric background music. Aside from movement controls you have only one action and there is no death. Simply put, this was a very pleasant and entertaining experience and I thoroughly enjoyed it. On the down side the game is a bit short, although they squeeze out a lot from the simple mechanics and is well worth the price tag. Also many of the puzzles are perhaps a bit too easy and is purely about moving stuff around, which can be a chore unless you enjoy playing with the physics engine.

It's charming, well planned and its atmosphere and gameplay won't let you go until you finish it up. Once you are done with it, you won't complain about its short length –you will be happy because you've enjoyed such a experience. It is not very original, but if you're a puzzle-based adventure games fan, it's a must-have.

Playing Unmechanical is a very pleasant experience. You get from one puzzle to another and try very hard to come up with a solution – what needs to be moved, pressed, stacked or opened to progress. Unfortunately, the end comes too quickly. The whole game will take up to 4 hours for a skilled player. There are a few ways to get to the finale, but still Unmechanical leaves you wanting more. Perhaps it is so, because a longer gameplay would become frustrating? It's hard to say.

Thanks to a generally well done puzzle design, the Swedish game Unmechanical offers good entertainment that manages to stick out in the crowd of indie games despite a few borrowed concepts.

Unmechanical is nice to look at, but overly simple and not that interesting.

I live in Sweden and went to Gamex a while back where they had a demo of this game. I remember liking it but I didn't have much time to play, and it was really loud around me and people were watching, so it kind of was difficult to think... I played the game all day and loved it! Playing it was different from other puzzle games I liked, because I was surprised at many puzzles and wasn't sure what the next problem would be... The world is also strange and you don't know what's in the next room. Both these things made it hard to put away...

The gameplay is solid, the puzzles are fun, but not very hard. The only bad thing about this game is that it is extremely short. I finished it in about 2 hours.

I enjoyed this game quite a bit, but it felt unresolved when it finished. I just played through and I think I experienced 2 of the endings (I replayed a different ending just after finishing the first) and both of them left me a little bit empty. The gameplay was very cool up to this point though. I especially enjoyed the atmosphere and atmospheric music that was very well done. The game is a puzzler that succeeded in what it did. I only had to seek a walkthrough once when I got stuck at the part with what to do with the big bucket of fire - and in hindsight if I'd have just stuck to it I might've figured it out anyway. Only once other I think I kindof lucked into a solution on one of the logical puzzles because I sortof think I knew how it was working, but not totally sure. Anyhow, I really liked the physics based nature of most of the puzzles - and the engaging way the game introduced you to the world without much explanation, but it still all seemed to make sense after a while - except for the ending. I just wanted a little closure so I understood what it all was about - the big picture of what I was doing - and I almost downgraded the score to a 6 for that - but this game deserves a 7 anyway. This is a solid game good for a couple days of play. Give it a play - one of the better puzzle type games I've played. Many puzzlers are arbitrary and annoying to me, but this one was not. Very well done in that sense.
