Where Cards Fall is an original logical game created by two independent developers, The Game Band and Snowman.

Where Cards Fall for iOS and PC is an unusual logical game created by two developers, The Game Band (a new American studio) and Snowman (creators of DISTANT and Alto’s Adventure).

Mechanics

It is rather hard to describe the game in a few words. Where Cards Fall is a kind of an experiment through which the developers want to show how the process of growing up and the memories from our youth influence our adult life. In practice it comes down to solving puzzles. However, we won’t be pulling levers or assembling blocks. Instead, we will be building houses of cards and, by doing so, shape the surrounding world. Card structures not only ease the movement of our character, but also push the plot forward.

COGconnected: 67 / 100 by Jaz Sagoo

Where Cards Fall is a lovely puzzler that fails to capitalize on its innovative premise. While The Game Band nails the design, the gameplay experience is hindered by fiddly controls that mar the experience. Puzzles are enjoyable offering a suitable level of challenge but fail to deliver any truly memorable moments. Although the developer’s desire to tell a sympathetic narrative is clear, its delivery lacks the nuances required to engage the audience. Even though there’s an ace somewhere in the hole, several issues leave the game in the lurch.

Digital Chumps: 9 / 10 by Nathaniel Stevens

The Game Band did a great job with Where Cards Fall as it is a perfect amount of puzzle, but without a lot of frustration attached. The main gameplay mechanic of moving and adjusting a stack (or several stacks) of cards is clever, and beautifully thought through, and well-executed. It is a puzzle game that I highly recommend.

Where Cards Fall is a creative and lovingly made romp through the memories of young adulthood. It approached puzzle-platforming in a brilliantly whimsical way with art and music to match. The controls were frustrating here and there, but overall, I enjoyed my time with it.
