Speer is a puzzle platformer indie game that’ll remind you of I Wanna Be The Guy.
It features retro pixelated graphics and tons of puzzles that involve levers, platforms, and switches. You’re just a running avatar armed with a “Speer” which you use to propel yourself up walls, destroy barrels, and turn on switches.
The game features a 2D plane with single-screen puzzle you need to solve. You can throw your Sspeer at switches and at walls and barrels in order to progress through the level. Wall climbing is pretty awesome and gives you a sense of satisfaction as you leap heaps up the edges.
Speer is a difficult game. At first, it’s very easy but then the difficulty ramps up like crazy. The puzzles, platforming, and everything else pretty much get more difficult. Things like switches are only basic puzzle elements. You also have to deal with keys, lanch pads, spikes, and a lot more. Each of these objects requires a different approach and sometimes combined approaches.
It’s easy to get into the game and easy to understand. But it’s difficult and interesting to solve. If you’re into puzzle platformers, this is definitely worth a play through. With its retro graphics and complex puzzles that are satisfyingly quenching to solve, it’s an awesome gem worth checking out.
