Metrico+
Jan 20, 2017 10 years ago
Metrico+ is an input-driven game in a world of infographics. All the bar charts, line diagrams and pie charts react to what the player is doing. The player has to rethink all he knows in order to solve all the puzzles and explore every part of the world that is Metrico. Metrico+ features 6 unique worlds to explore with distinct challenges, mechanics, looks and sounds.
What it’s like
Metrico+ transforms the abstract language of data visualization into a tactile, side-scrolling platformer where bar charts serve as platforms and pie charts dictate movement logic. The experience is defined by its clever premise: players must reinterpret standard infographic rules to navigate six distinct worlds, each with unique visual styles and soundscapes. It offers a pure puzzle-platforming loop that relies heavily on spatial awareness and timing rather than narrative context. While it lacks the depth of story-driven peers, it delivers a refreshing, minimalist aesthetic where audio and visuals are perfectly synchronized to guide the player through increasingly complex mechanical challenges. The game feels like an interactive art piece, prioritizing the 'aha!' moment of understanding a new rule over emotional investment.

Keep in mind The game is entirely devoid of narrative or character development, which may leave players seeking story depth feeling empty. Some reviewers note that while the core concept is innovative, the execution can feel timid or repetitive in its later stages, potentially leading to frustration for those who dislike steep learning curves without adequate guidance.
