Perchang: A Portal Puzzler

App Store Editors’ Notes

Breathes new life into the genre

Perchang is a rather fun game. The concept of transferring objects from point A to point B has been around for a long time, but this app breathes new life into the genre. The controls are intuitive, the graphics are beautifully simplistic but high quality, and the physics are wonderfully consistent. Now its time to address some complains I've seen and experienced.. 1: "This game makes my phone become hot" I've personally haven't had any issues with this, though I'm running an iPhone 5S and most of these complaints are coming from 6 and 7 users. 2: "The game shouldn't be 3D" I really have to disagree with this; I find the balls' ability to roll off the side to be a good feature, it makes you actually have to refrain and take a slightly more patent approach to some levels. 3: "The game crashes" Perchang has only crashed on me once throughout all my time playing it, and that was because I had one too many applications open. To all who experience this, just close out of some apps. 4: "The game runs slowly" This is my only complaint about this game, though its out of the developers' control for the most part. As stated above, I'm running an iPhone 5S, and while it's decently powerful, it's completely outclassed by the likes of the more modern phones. Besides that, this is a very solid game, one I wholeheartedly recommend.

Good game, bad performance.

The other reviewers were not kidding when they said their phone got hot. I've been playing for 10 minutes and it is already burning pretty bad. I have the iPhone 7+ and I don't doubt it burns up lower gen phones a ton. As a matter of fact my screen got dimmer to avoid a heat stroke and it just recovered while typing this review. It's a good game, but not for more than 15 minutes. At the 10 minute mark your phone will already be reacting to the heat.

Updated - Level 34 Fixed!

After almost giving up hope of ever completing this game due to a bug that previously impacted L34 and made it impossible to complete, I contacted the developer, left a less than 5 star review, and moved on. The developer responded now and L34 is fixed! My son and I have played through to L70 now and I know they all work There is one gold run level that can't be completed due to a similar bug but it doesn't impede progress. Thanks for many hours of fun, Perchang! Highly recommend this one of a kind game and will be looking for more from this developer.

Fun, simple, yet challenging

Super simple concept, direct your marbles into the hole. That being said, the ways one has to think about the best way to get them in the hole in the fastest time possible while also keeping an eye on your controls for keeping the marbles headed where you want them is just fascinatingly and sublimely simple and beautiful. Great game for adults and kids alike, though younger children might become frustrated with the degree of difficulty as you get into the higher levels. And the graphics and physics are beautifully done too! 5/5

Fun to play

Ever since they fixed the crashing issue it's been fun to play and try to get the gold. Levels can be simple yet complex making some levels easy to get gold while others a lot more difficult. Sometimes the way things can move will really screw you up, as not only can balls move up, down, left, and right but they can also move forwards and backwards. Some levels, I've noticed, seem pretty straightforward until the whole z axis movement comes in. It really can mess up a level sometimes.

Perchang is the thang!

Perchang is one of the best challenging and innovative puzzle games to hit the App Store in awhile. As a more than satisfied customer, I don't understand some of the negative reviews of this creative masterpiece. At a minimal price, Perchang is more than with it and more than worth it. Thank you for the extra levels-well worth the purchase! The other IAPs are completely unnecessary unless you can't finish a level at all. Can only hope for more levels or a sequel👍

Level 70

I have completed level 70 as perfectly as I know how, getting a ball into both sides at the same time, 5 times. I cannot get Gold! I don’t know how to do it any faster as the balls come out fairly slowly, and there is nothing to push them up at all. I have gold in all other levels, including bonus gold levels, but can only get silver in this one. Does anyone know why or have a special trick? BTW... I love this game and I’ve never had heating issues :)

Fun but problematic

Its a fun game with a few challenges, but it has its problems. The battery saver setting does nothing obvious to the user, but does help keep your phone from melting and killing your battery. Without that on, the device will run HOT, almost too hot to hold. When resuming your game after pausing, the buttons briefly will not accept any input, wasting valuable time. There's also no rhyme or reason apparent for why the balls move the way they do, toppling off the edge of the stage instead of moving in the straight line they had been for so long, which makes some levels unnecessarily difficult.
