Aether is a fun little physics based puzzle game where you are a boy that has somehow teamed up with a monster and is going to different planets to solve puzzles and go on adventures. While the game may seem confusing at first, once you get used to it, it is a delight to play. You start off on Earth, where is where you need to return after you complete the puzzles on other planets. You can get to other planets by swinging there with the help of the monster’s tongue Aim and click the mouse to shoot the tongue. The movement keys are a,w,s,d.

The swinging mechanic was probably the hardest thing I had to learn for the entire game as the puzzles weren’t all that tough to figure out. Once you get used to the swinging mechanism though, this game rolls smoothly from there on out. This game has a unique feel to it almost as if it is imaginary. It takes place in a dreamy mind-scape. Its like the places you and I dreamed about when we were kids. This kind of setting just gives the game a familiar feel and makes you want to play the game until its finished. This game is a great casual puzzle game to keep you occupied for a while as you are getting used to the mechanics or solving puzzles. It is certainly worth the play of at least one gaming session. Below is a guide(that can be found at a lot of places online now), if you want a way to solve the puzzles on the different worlds.

1. Pink Planet(Gravida) - he planet is in a similar shape to the beast. Enter the ‘mouth’ to get to the ‘core’. Then lick the floating crystals without falling and landing on the ‘core’.

2. Dark blue planet(Malaisus) - Eat only the 9-worm like fish. Don’t eat the giant one or the ones in the background

3. Yellow Planet(Bibulon) - Stand on the four lower moons to make their orbits crash into the planet.

4. Green planet(Debrasa) - Spin around the little moons that emit the green glow onto the planet. Only 1 moon thing will appear at a time.

5. Blue planet(Earth) - Return to earth after you’ve completed the other planets.

Enjoy

This is both a video and a text walkthrough for the game Lab escape. The text walkthrough is listed first but if you want just the video walkthrough, you can go ahead and scroll to the bottom of this post as it is located there. This is a basic find the items and find the escape route game. The items inventory is managed a little better than most escape games though. You wake up in a certain room in a lab and you don’t know how you got there, your job is to find some items and get out of the room.

1. Click on the wall corner between the door and what looks like a socket. Click on the very corner. The floor will lift and you can grab a key from there.

2. Click on the stool and click until you see the bottom of the stool. Grab the gas mask. Note that it is hard to see because it is located at the bottom of the round piece of the stool.(see video if not sure where)

3. Explore the room until you see some broken glass on the table. There is a pin in the socket just above the table, grab it.

4. Go over to the fountain and turn the switch on the water.

5. Go over to what looks to be a safe(but actually its a centrifuge) and use the pin to open it. Grab the green fluid that is in there.

6. There is a round bin next to the centrifuge, zoom in on it. On the right side, you’ll see a bit of grey sticking out. Click on it and get a key.

7. On the left, there is a tall, closed shelf. Click on it to zoom in. At the bottom near the green light, there is a bit of white sticking out. It is the access card. Grab it.

8. Now you have both keys to the cabinet on the other side(not the one you got the access card from). Use the green key in the bottom hole and the yellow key in the other hole. The cabinet will open and a container of some sort will appear. Use the access card on it and grab the dangerous chemical.

9. Now go to the table with the test-tube rack on it. Put the green chemical in the big left hole and then add the dangerous chemical to it. It will turn yellow and you have an empty beaker to play with.

10. Go back to the sink and flip the switch again. Then go to the vent above the table with the broken glass. There should be water dripping out. Use your beaker to collect water.

11. Go back to the rack with test tubes and put on the gas mask(you need to do this).

12. Add water to the stuff already in the tube. Then go and click the handle to the door and you win.
