"What I’ve figured out is that I like my puzzle games to have a sense of progression in them. Crossword puzzles do this, so does Sudoku – you can see the grid filling up and know you’re getting there. For some reason most puzzle videogames don’t do this – very often each stage (or puzzle) has an all-or-nothing answer which you’re either stuck trying to find or solving quickly.
Puzzle Dimension contains consistently new and clever ideas, good puzzle design, pleasing graphics, smooth chip-tunes-style music and a solid amount of content for a R100 game, and as such it’s an above average puzzle game, but it does suffer from a frustration/completion (or effort/reward) cycle that is just a bit longer than is ideal."
Doctor Entertainment has pushed out a sizable Puzzle Dimension update, available now automatically for owners of the casual puzzler. The latest patch comes with a long list of improvements, additions, optimizations, and changes to various areas of the game.
Using spatial relations to literally twist a simple puzzle game upside-down, Puzzle Dimension is the newest head-scratcher available for download on PSN. Playing as a golden ball, you are required to navigate floating platforms to collect flowers needed to open an exit portal. Limited to only rolling or jumping one square at a time, you learn quickly that a single misstep will mean a dive into the void, necessitating starting over from the beginning.
Original Gamer: "The puzzle genre in its history has generally catered to a more specific audience compared to the casual fan or gamer. Puzzle Dimension, available for both PSN and PC, is no exception to this general rule of thumb. Boasting 100 puzzles and lush graphics this $10 downloadable title cranks up the challenge with its simple mechanics on PSN. However, repeated puzzle offerings prevent the title from becoming an instant classic."
