Quick Look: Music of the Spheres

Britney Spheres?

Tears for Spheres?

Spheres, where, the story ends.

Wired game. I like the music, sound effects and backgrounds. Why do these angels need to be hit with musical balls?

Sphere is the mind-killer.

Sphere, far, wherever you are

OMG LEFT THEN RIGHT!

Isn't it a bassoon?

Impressive

Don't worry man, they solved it 30 seconds after the QL ended.

@twolines: lol

incredibly pretentious name for a game

No, it's pretty much right on. A bit too on the nose if anything.

This looks great!

I would say clarinet is more likely than oboe.

I love the Patrick and Ryan team-ups in puzzle type games

Sounds like a clarinet to me

That instrument is definitely a clarinet

It's that little souvenir of angelical spheres...

Yo! Dev here. Just wanted to say thanks for this, glad you appreciated the game :D In fact, those two very similar puzzles that start at 5:43? You guys "got" EXACTLY what I was trying to do there. I've really been worrying about that part recently, but this made me feel great.

Also the prize goes to the people who said "clarinet" :)

And lo, the year of the 'Boe has ended. What will E3 bring this time?

You keep using that word...

I can't help but feel like there's going to be something sinister about the game's world. When the screen turned black and that grid showed up I was expecting some kind of grim/creepy message.

Okay, so I'll be watching this instead of the stream. Sadly, it won't work for me.

Oh well, I'll just wait for the archived video.

Clarinet.

same here

Bayonetta 3: Puzzle Fighters

I don't like how the bouncing off of edges works, makes no sense.

For a game about music, it's not a good sign that the background clarinet was driving me nuts.

Had fun watching them way over-complicate the puzzle at 15:00.

@flacracker: Fuck yes Symphony X. One of my favorite bands! Didn't make the connection until you posted it though.

the entrance to the angel's area being a closed point looks wrong to me. it looks like the balls shouldn't be able to pass through those.

wut

haha

I had to quote, too funny

@silvertorch1: If you want the site to die just leave. One less person.

Well that's pretty weird.. and also pretty interesting.

Alright I'll just say it. I worry that this is the kind of Quick Look we'll stop seeing when Patrick returns to Chicago.

Now that is hilarious

They're trying to get as much Patrick as they can before he moves away. Then when he's gone he will be doing even more stuff to make up for his office absence. You should just stop coming here now.

This Quick Look makes me miss Patrick already.

I wish the staff could reassure us that Quick Looks of games like this might still happen when he is in Chicago.

Finally, some cool Islamic tile art as background stuff in a game. Those Arabic rugs are so cool on my carpet.

Is this the last Patrick QL?

It's actually quite sad because I loved him highlighting cool indie games :(

Painfully hard to watch lol. Maybe my mind just works differently. Seemed tremendously simple.

Don't Sphere the reaper.

@protonguy: Really it did.

Calling it: Hang '13

Yea throw those billiard balls at those angels! that will teach them!

This makes me think of that Dark Castle game for the old monochrome Macintosh computers.

I just don't know how I'll cope once Patrick isn't sphere.

This game looks dumb as hell
