One of the best ways to work through a puzzle after getting stuck is to simply put it down for a little while and come back to it with a new perspective, and 'Perspectivo' is a mobile game that aims to bake that strategy directly into its mechanics. As the name suggests, Perspectivo forces players to constantly reconsider the puzzle they're working to solve through a different perspective, flipping between two and three dimensions.
Perspectivo's puzzles are a cross between virtual Rubik's Cubes and the classic game 'Rush Hour'. Players are shown a 2D image, and they then have to manipulate a 3D object to match that. As with any puzzle game, the challenges can get frustrating, but Perspectivo works to keep players calm and collected through minimalist design and soothing music.
