Portal 2 is a puzzle game presented from the first-person perspective. Normally, the player, as either Chell in the single-player campaign or as one of two robots, Atlas or P-body, in the co-operative campaign, can move, look, and carry and drop objects. The goal is to maneuver the characters through a number of test chambers in the Aperture Science facility, traversing the chamber from the start to the exit.
A puzzle game in FPS perspective. Your weapon: an artefact that can attract and shoot a humongous ball. Your goal: to reach the exit of each map by activating contraptions. Faithful ol' Ball will help you break walls and push buttons, and maybe smash some baddies here and there. The game features a story-driven campaign and a survival mode.
The goal of the game is to paint various objects. In each level the player is given an object along with a rope which varies in length depending on the level. Using a mouse or touch screen and tilt controls, players attempt to cover the object with the rope. Each time the rope is laid down on the object the area gets covered by bits of paint. The challenge comes in getting the required percentage of objects painted with only a finite length of rope. There are three targets in each level - minimum, medium and maximum coverage.
The rules for gravity and movement are easy to grasp. The objective "Pick all the sunflowers and exit through the portal" is simple - within minutes you will move in 3D structures and solve puzzles never seen before.
Find solutions to the puzzles and experience the satisfaction of "Aha" moments. With 100 unique puzzles there will always be many to choose from and hours of gameplay to look forward to.
