Un juego que, en mi opinión, sabe explotar los tiempos y ritmos que la Playdate establece. No me extrañaría que, en el futuro, desarrolladores utilicen la plantilla ofrecida por esta obra para construir experiencias similares.
Su principal punto a favor es su plasticidad: Omaze es un juego de retos físicos y cognitivos que usa todas las funciones posibles de Playdate hasta la fecha. No se trata de que invente algo nuevo de la palanca, sino que emplea su circularidad con mucha efectividad. Para cuando llevas la mitad de los niveles disponibles, sientes que te has hecho una idea bastante clara de lo que la consola puede hacer.
El otro punto a favor, y uno que espero que imiten futuros juegos, es lo corto que es. Cuatro mundos a resolver en una tarde larga me parece justo lo que algo tan pequeño e incómodo como la Playdate debería tener. Como digo, espero que esto se convierta en un estándar para el futuro.

Omaze is a game that, in my opinion, exploits the times and rhythms of the Playdate marvelously. I wouldn't be surprised if, in the future, developers begin to use it as a template when building similar experiences.
The things it holds in its favor are twofold. One is its plasticity: Omaze is a series of physical and cognitive challenges that uses most functions of the Playdate to date. It's not that the game makes something new with the lever, but that it interprets its circularity quite effecitively. By the time you're halfway through it, you feel like you've got a pretty good idea of what the console can do.
The other point in its favor is one that I think future games should emulate, its shortness. Four worlds to beat through in an afternoon seems to me the right length that a console like this should have. As I say, I hope this becomes the main standard for the future.
