After 40+ hours on Deus Ex: Human Revolution, I was looking for something a little shorter. I hoped The Adventures of Shuggy would fit the bill. It did for the most part. This is a puzzle-platform game with over 100 levels spread across five areas (The Dungeon, The Boiler Room, The Gallery, The Graveyard and The Clocktower). The premise involves collecting gems to obtain a key. Each level has some special aspect to it: level rotation, time travel, partners for team-based problem solving, etc. I finished The Dungeon and some of The Boiler Room for a total of 30 levels. Although I enjoyed the game, As the difficulty ramped up, I wasn't tearing through the levels as quickly as in the beginning. I particularly dreaded the levels with a timer and the time-travel mechanic. I can't see sticking with it for another 70 levels. 30 levels was enough for me.
