Dwarf Complete is an adorable puzzle adventure by Eyezmaze,
creator behind all of those cute little Grow games. Dwarf Complete, however, is an entirely
different concept than the usual Eyezmaze fare.
In Dwarf Complete, you play a pink-haired armor-clad girl
running around a cave, looking for various objects. Some of the objects are necessary to solve
puzzles, and others simply open doors as you collect them.
The main goal is in escaping the cave. To do so you must solve a bunch of puzzles to
collect the objects you need. Some are
Rube Goldberg-style puzzles, others require a little bit of logical thinking,
pattern recognition, careful visual scrutiny, careful timing, and quick
footwork.
A lot of the puzzles are very inventive, and wouldn't be out
of place in a Zelda game.
Although the whole game takes places in one cave, each area
feels unique because of the layout and isolated items found throughout. There are cannons, portals, pedestals,
torches, treasure chests, holes, and plenty of other obstacles to provide
variety.
While you cannot die, there are two puzzles that require
timing, and if you fail, the room is reset and you move back to the beginning
to try again. This may be frustrating to
gamers who aren't so quick, and want to spend time figuring things out. For those players, my advice is to figure out
what you need to do before giving it a try.
All in all, Dwarf Complete is both a great throwback to old
puzzle-adventures, while coming up with plenty of new puzzles to challenge your
brain.
