Puzzle Dimension forces you to think outside the box as you are given what looks to be a simple task, collect all the flowers. The first part is fairly easy, slowly guiding you towards a warping of gravity often akin to the feeling of riding a roller coaster. The puzzles progress from simple path-finding to having multiple sides and levels, gravity always staying relative to the block you are currently on. Part of the challenge to this game is remembering which direction down is going to be next, falling becomes a tool and more than a danger on some puzzles.

The controls are easy to learn and that pays off as the difficulty increases. Trying to remember what keys to press will be the last thing you want to worry about. Arrow keys control which direction you roll and W,A,S,D moves your camera angles, pressing the space bar allows one block leaps. This game will twist, turn, rotate, and flip your game world upside down so the simple controls put the attention on the puzzle where it is needed. The camera view can be changed to some degree but is limited in range to angles on the sphere. Pressing the camera button [C] gives a broader view of the puzzle allowing you to rotate around and get different perspectives while pausing the multiplier timer.

In later levels this becomes very important for planning how to get around obstacles like gravity and fiery tiles. Some playing around with this feature reveals more advanced strategies while allowing you to enjoy the unlockable environments. These different skins for the game have no effect on game play, they just provide variety, preventing the backgrounds from becoming dull and boring too soon. Even with the ability to pan around the puzzle at leisure some trial and error will be required to advance.
