Arranger: A Role-Puzzling Adventure review - ingenious challenges with the lightest of touches
Our review of Arranger, a brilliant puzzle game with a tile-shifting conceit.
Each puzzle tends to be fairly compact: levels can be much larger than a single screen, but the puzzley bits almost always hinge on things that lie well within view. I worked out how to close the gap between me and another object in the row or column I was in, for example, by moving in circles in a way that always felt like I was gathering yarn. All of this is helped along by a charming, playful script and gorgeous cartoon art by David Hellman, who created the art from Braid and here manages to invoke a world that feels chunky and yet detailed, lined with thick Fantagraphics brush strokes and in love with a form of picture-in-picture effect, which means that as you move through a room or meet a new character, the background may fill with panels offering other views of the action.
