Concrete Genie

If you like emotional indie games this one is perfect.

I have played it multiple times just to chill out with the genies and enjoy the art and atmosphere.

The game has a powerful message and story. I wish I was able to play this game when I was young as comfort and inspiration. Even now in my late 20s it does inspire me and shows how important the impact of art is. It feels magical.

The controls are a bit difficult to navigate at times but you get used to it.

If you want to have action or something fast paced this isn't the game for you neither if you are looking for long hours of gameplay, but if you want a relaxed mindful and emotional game this is a game for you.

The genies are awesome. So well animated and unique. Against the grungy, depressed town of Denska, they are a colourful neon blessing.

The gameplay is satisfying. The puzzles aren't groundbreaking but you progress with a smile on your face nonetheless. The game stays fresh by introducing new mechanics during its short 5 hour campaign.

If you're feeling anxious, stressed or down, play Concrete Genie. It's calming, relaxing and a genuine pleasure to play.

The graffiti is pathetic and a stupid pointless game

Beautiful game that lets you express your inner artist , Amazing gameplay with different puzzles . Pixel Opus has made a fantastic job .

I could only play this for an hour or so because the controls are too frustrating for me.

In short, if you like playing with default Y-axis settings (where pushing forward on the controls moves up, and pushing backward moves down), give it a go. But if you like inverted Y-axis settings (like the real world, where you lean forward to look down, and back to look up), give it a pass.

It actually has an Invert Y-Axis option, but it only impacts on half the controls for the game. And what's the point of having that as an option if it doesn't affect everything? Mixed controls are the worst possible. When it works one way for some aspects, and the other way for other aspects, you can't get used to either!!!

It's a real shame, because it looks like such a unique game. A dark, haunting,yet somehow aesthetically pleasing visual design and setting that looks. A perhaps slightly cheesy/overdone, yet meaningful , 'bully' storyline. And gameplay that felt like it was going to be really enjoyable, yet nothing like anything else I've played.

If only they had coded in one more line: if (invert = True) { -Y }
