# Perspective-Warping Puzzle Games 'Perspectivo' is a Mind-Bending Puzzle App By Joey Haar | Published 2018-06-20 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perspectivo References: [producthunt](https://www.producthunt.com/posts/perspecto) & [play.google](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gamezaur.perspecto&hl=en_US) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 4% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/games) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Perspective-warping Games:** Opportunity for innovative game developers to create more games that challenge traditional perspectives and mechanics. - **Mind-bending Puzzle Apps:** Disruptive opportunity for app developers to create puzzle apps that encourage users to think differently and solve challenges from new perspectives. - **Minimalist Design in Puzzle Games:** Opportunity for game designers to create puzzle games with minimalist design elements to enhance focus and calmness for players. ### Who This Affects Most - **Gaming Industry:** Opportunity for game developers to explore and invest in perspective-warping puzzle games that offer a unique and captivating gameplay experience. - **App Development Industry:** Disruptive opportunity for app developers to create mind-bending puzzle apps that stand out in the market and provide users with engaging challenges. - **Design Industry:** Opportunity for designers to incorporate minimalist design elements into puzzle games, creating a visually pleasing and calming experience for players. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Mechanical Puzzle Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ocean-wood-screw.md) - [Logic Puzzle Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daily-logic-puzzle.md) - [Prehistoric Puzzle Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/block-puzzle-in-the-stone-age.md) - [Social Puzzle Metaverses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rubiks-run.md) - [Relaxation Puzzle Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/healing-puzzle.md) - [Satisfying Digital Puzzle Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/geometric-interactive.md) - [Color Puzzle Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colormix.md) - [Strategic Puzzle Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elephant-in-the-room1.md) - [Phone Puzzle Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/word-search-game.md)
