"The way the puzzles are dealt with is the real kicker, though. Rather than simply dump a load of key-fetching puzzles at you, Flower, Sun And Rain gives you what it calls 'pin jack' puzzles. They're far too strange to explain in detail, but you really have to use your brain to input the required numbers. Of course this relies on real smarts on the part of the developer to fi nd the correct balance, and sometimes the game demands too much convoluted, tangential brainwork. That's the only real complaint we have of Flower, Sun And Rain; for an unusual take on the adventure genre, there are few better titles out there."
During a panel at Momocon, Grasshopper Manufacture founder Goichi "Suda51" Suda talked about possible Switch ports of his games.
He should. Although I'd like to see something new from him. Or how about Shadows of the Damned 2?
. It features some of Suda51’s bravest experiments, and though not all of them may prove to be successful, it remains a thoughtful creation thanks to the sheer amount of detail in the world of Lospass Island.
Hardcore Gamer: Goichi Suda, better known as Suda51, has undoubtedly contributed some of the most imaginative video games in the history of the medium. Whether it’s the cerebral thrills of Killer7 or the over-the-top action of No More Heroes, Suda51 has brought the arthouse to games. Although he’s been working for nearly twenty-five years, Suda51 is showing no signs of slowing down and is remastering the classic The Silver Case for release this fall. In celebration of this release, we’ve decided to curate a limited run series dubbed “Summer of Suda,” which will take a look back of some of his most memorable games, evaluating what they contributed at the time of their release and how history looks back at them today. Keep an eye out for exclusive interviews with some of the auteur’s most famed collaborators like Takashi Miyamoto, Masashi Ooka and of course Suda51 himself as they reveal never-before-seen behind-the-scenes info as the series progresses this summer.
