Attractio is a puzzle-platform game by Mexican[1] developers GameCoder Studios, Renderfarm Studios and publisher Bandai Namco Entertainment.[2] Attractio takes place in the Entertainment Space Station (ESS), an artificial satellite orbiting Mars where players will solve deadly physics-based puzzles using gadgets that manipulate gravity. This futuristic puzzle platformer draws its gameplay inspiration from games like Portal, while also being inspired by futuristic stories like those similar to Running Man.[3] The game received mixed reviews.

Development

The game was first announced for Steam Greenlight in 2013,[4] and successfully "Greenlit" the following year.[5] Shortly after, before the developers announced the game was now being published (after improvements) by Bandai Namco Entertainment,[6] an early access of Attractio, supporting Windows and already with plans for the Oculus Rift, was available: "GameCoder Studios has announced that its indie first-person puzzle title, Attractio, will be launching via early access on Thursday, 20th March."[7]

The music was composed by Novelli Jurado. He mixed electronic music with classical and tribal textures gathering a variety range of emotions. With this work he is the first latinamerican composer whose work was distributed worldwide by Japanese renown company Bandai-Namco for PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, and Steam.[citation needed]

Reception

Attractio has received mixed reviews from critics.

Thomas Ella of Hardcore Gamer gave the game a 3.5 out of 5 saying, "There’s not a lot about Attractio to pull you in from a distance. It doesn’t look, sound or even feel that great. Its story is obvious and uninteresting. Everything about it screams “knockoff” like a “ROLAX” watch, but don't be fooled: if you're a fiend for devious puzzles, Attractio is the real deal."[8] Mitchell Saltzman from The Escapist rated the game a 3/5 saying, "Die-hard puzzle fans that are always on the lookout for ways to give their brain a workout may want to give Attractio a shot. Others may not be willing to look past the game's glaring surface flaws."[9]
