Humanity: A Unique Puzzle Game
Humanity is a unique puzzle game that combines puzzle-solving and action-platforming elements. Players control a spectral dog that commands massive crowds of people to navigate through various levels and obstacles. The game is divided into different chapters, each introducing new mechanics and challenges. Developed by Yugo Nakamura, an experimental art firm owner, the game offers a fresh and unconventional approach to puzzle games.
The Surprising Shift in Gameplay
The middle stage of the game introduces more complex mechanics and challenges, such as conveyor belts and fans that move characters. The format also changes, with some levels requiring commands to be placed before the characters start moving. However, this middle part of the game starts to become frustrating due to the lack of a rewind feature and the need to restart entire levels for small mistakes. The later stages of the game introduce combat mechanics, where players must race and fight against opponents called the others. This unexpected twist adds a new level of excitement and enjoyment to the game.
