Amberial Dreams

Amberial Dreams was an unexpected find for me. December 28th, 2023 (I think). I found a note saved on my phone from 7 years ago (The notes were automatically transfered between each new phone i got over the years). It simply read "Amberial on sploder". Sploder was a game-making website, dead ever since flash went out. Apparently i had the idea to try to remake the original amberial game using sploder's physics game creator, and had left a note for myself. Sploder was long-dead, so no chance of that now. ... But this note made me want to replay the old amberial games. So i opened up the Flashpoint archive, found the games, and got playing. I had actually found all the games on the archive about 2 years back and played them for a bit, but had never really bothered to replay them until now. I noticed some of the metadata for the games was wrong (the listed creators, release dates, etc), and decided i had to make it right. In doing so, i looked up several things about the game to confirm information... And found Amberial Dreams on steam. I was shocked. A MODERN AMBERIAL GAME? RELEASED A MERE FEW WEEKS AGO? I had thought this series was long dead. But no, it's apparently still alive and well. Still niche and small, but alive nonetheless. So I bought it. And I played it. And I loved it. I don't even care about the plot at all. I just think the game is beautiful. Basically a 4 button game, and only 2 for actually controlling the ball. I haven't gotten to do all that much at the time of writing this as I've been busy with other things, but I can safely say this game really.... I dont have a way to finish this sentence. The game is good. That's pretty much it. I'll admit, it doesn't quite hold the charm of the old games. Something about the simplistic backgrounds and art and sounds of the original game. (I actually only ever played the very first game as a kid, all the other ones i played more recently.) Due to the scope of Amberial Dreams, that charm is lost. ... But it's replaced with something far greater than any of those games. A in-depth level editor, beautiful backgrounds, music, and overall visuals, a plethora of new mechanics, and even a true story mode. I'm not good at explaining why this is a good game. it just is. It's Amberial, but modern. It's Amberial, but new. It's Amberial, but complete. ... Maybe I'll try remaking the levels from the original game in the level editor. I won't really be able to upload them since that would require making an account on mod.io. ... That's my only complaint, really. That in order to upload them properly, i need a mod.io account. I understand why this is the case. It's far easier to host levels there than on a seperate server. But it still kinda sucks given that i like keeping my digital footprint to a minimum and hate making accounts i'm unlikely to ever directly interact with. Oh well, i can always just share the levels on the discord. ... ... I dunno how to end this review lol. It's a good game. What it has lost in charm it MORE than makes up for in the sheer amount of improvements and upgrades from the previous games. Though i'm not sure i could truly "recommend it". At the end of the day, this game is very niche. It's a very niche gameplay style, with niche appeal for a niche group of people. It's fantastic for what it is, but not something i'd really be able to promote to my friends with a "hey you should get this game it's so good", due simply to how niche it all is. I still have to select "would recommend" on this review as there's no "neutral" option on steam for some reason... Still though, great game, very much love it, happy to have discovered it by chance.

Цаца хороша!!!

Amberial Dreams is a surprisingly deep physics-based platformer that completely won me over despite my initial skepticism about the no-jump mechanic — once it clicks, navigating levels by building momentum and using the environment feels incredibly satisfying and unique. The controls and physics are polished to a fine shine, and the three-medal system (Sun, Moon, Wing) gives each level real replay value whether you're a casual player or a speedrunner chasing tight par times. It's a genuine love letter to the old Flash games, and having the original Amberial titles included as bonus content is a fantastic touch for longtime fans. The level editor is a cherry on top, with an active community already creating clever stages worth exploring. For the asking price, the amount of content here is generous and the core gameplay loop is just plain fun — easy recommendation.

目前能找到这款游戏说明你应该是玩过Amberial了，这里我不推荐给你 如果没玩过可以一试，Amberial的玩法很有趣 琥珀球之梦还是第一部的梦更美好，第一部的每一关都有它优秀的创新点和玩法，然而后面几部越来越同质化，到了这部加了点创新，也仅仅是之前各个版本的东西的扩展，不足以像第一部那样印象深刻。同时加了剧情，非常无聊 (PEGI 3) 可有可无的剧情。风格杂乱无章，半年前玩完的到现在对这游戏的印象还非常模糊 现在我们看看第一部的创新点，几乎每关都非常有趣 在Amberial的每一关开始都有几秒钟的音乐，每一关的音乐和画风特色非常鲜明 第一关 Movement 101 直白简单介绍了玩法，按住左就能通关，而左偏上的收集品也说明无法跳跃，需要依靠弹跳获取 此时可以选两个分支，二四关一分支，三五关一分支 第二关 First Springs 的悬浮平台软软的像果冻，不同颜色大小以及玩家的高度会有不同的弹力 第三关 Here and There 在有悬浮平台的基础上加了触碰按钮和那经典的黑心红边八角 第四关 Crystal Heights 和第五关 Pushers 都是弹簧平台玩法，但第五关的弹簧平台是空中竖着放的 而后分支合并到第六关 R G B，将上面的技能结合，也在此基础上添加了平台移动 继续分支，七九关一分支，八 十关一分支，这里就简单讲讲各关的创新点 第七关 Pink Hike 是第五关竖着的弹簧平台的扩展玩法，爬墙 第八关 Hold Tight 是黑心红边旋转球和悬浮线 第九关 Above You! 是向上能量场 第十关 Crystal Fortress 是透明水晶，碰一下过几秒就消失。非常有趣的是触碰的音效是人发出的类似咳嗽时喘气的合成音 分支合并，第十一关 The Hideout 将上面所有内容结合，添加一个类似棉签的红边怪物 最终关第十二关 Ending Tick ，添加一个位于所有地图中心横跨地图的顺时针旋转激光，以及一个重力反转平台 三个额外关：Force Fields，圆形扩散力场，Bubbles，弹力十足的泡泡，Tower of Glory对比其他关卡有些粗糙，是向上能量场和黑心红边八角的堆砌 短而精，玩法和内容相辅相成，每个关卡都有新东西，加上不同的音乐和风格，在当时2007年算是非常优秀的flash游戏了 现在说说这一部 玩完后优点只有一个，音乐不错 游戏画风非常杂乱。在Amberial里关与关之间不同，但关内都是统一风格。而Amberial Dreams我的第一印象甚至说不上来，草原？马戏团？还是一些关卡的光污染？有些关的风格也是一样，越来越模板化 故事...抱歉，看不下去，完全是给游戏加料也加不明白，对比之前的那几部非常切割，就不应该有故事 关卡内容杂乱无章，物品到处摆放图片拉伸，风格也乱作一团，Tree of Life那关你看看是啥？这还是初见部分的关卡，后面很多资源复用而且乱用，毫不用心。有些关卡胡乱设计，墙与墙之间出现显眼材质，空的地方很空，质量参差不齐，优秀的关在整个关卡系列里是割裂的。难度不合理，关卡随意寻找解锁，乱的不行，感觉在玩社区制作的关卡（很多关还的确是社区关） 如果说第一部Amberial是佳作 Amberial: Nebulosa Realms是佳作内容的延申 Amberial: Axis是单调画风的社区依赖蓝图 Amberialites: The Tower of Endurance是系列外传小作品 这部则是将上面的内容结合使用但用力过猛，什么料都添加，猛完之后就摆烂的类型 只能说第一部的优秀把我对系列的标准拉高了，如果曾经不存在Amberial，这款游戏也是一个平庸的作品，即使玩法有点东西，但随意的内容也还是会被人们遗忘在商店游戏堆里 flash游戏百花齐放的年代里优质小品数不胜数，如今这样的招牌标上价格很正常，但为了彰显价格配得上内容让内容产出工业化同质化甚至摆烂似乎忘掉本意。在马里奥出来前，顶问号砖块冒出物品是个脑洞大开的想法，Amberial同样，去除跳跃键的平台跳跃也可以这么有趣，小的时候玩完Amberial，拿出纸笔开始想着自己的关卡和创意，什么粘黏墙，炸弹分裂弹跳水晶，扩散悬浮线旋转离心悬浮线...在这里我没看到那些让我眼前一亮的豪放的创新，很多东西都能在之前的几部中看到影子，就像是顶砖块出来的不是蘑菇而是山药的那种“创新”，在我眼里它仅仅是个Amberial的独立外传产品而不是续作 如果你没玩过Amberial，那么这款游戏是有趣的，如果玩过Amberial，那么这款游戏是情怀，但也仅此而已 玩完之后也不想再碰

Bit of a mixed bag. The game has a novel no-jump physics platforming mechanic that is interesting most of the time. The physics are a big wonky and unrefined. Some of the bounces don't make sense or aren't as big as they should be and the angle of bounces don't always make sense. Also the ball control is ok but it takes too long to build up inertia and once you have it it isn't easy to stop or change directions, so its too momentum based. This and the fact that many levels are instant death spots are areas where you fall and can't get up, leads to a ton of trial and error. Too many levels don't have checkpoints and the ones that do don't have enough at times. This becomes worse in later levels asking you to pixel perfect bounce with the finncky system while timing everything perfect and dodging objects 10x in a row without checkpoints. It is nice they include the old flash games but holy crap they feel slippery and unrefined. Gave up on those. Also its helpful they add things like slowdown if you want it but the button has to be "up" and it won't let you change on controller. This may be the dumbest decision in a game every especially because you don't have any abilities, combat or jump, meaning every other button is open. Forcing it on directional character control movements leads to unwanted deaths from switching back and forth without wanting to. No clue why there was a story as that was unnecessary, and it was annoying that theres 3 types of collectibles and the most important one doesn't unlock all the levels. But its fun at times and if you like marbels or puzzle platformers based on physics you may enjoy it a bit. It's no Nightsky though. 7.5/10

This game is fun 8/10

[h1][b]Amberial Dreams[/b][/h1] [h3][b]Time Played:[/b][/h3] 30-ish minutes before giving up to idle for cards. [h3][b]Last Played:[/b][/h3] 13th of December, 2025 [hr][/hr] While I remember disliking the demo to this, I then needed to get it for a Fanatical Bundle to give a discount, something that got me a bit excited on seeing it has Christmassy levels in the community contributions. Unfortunately, on just playing the tutorial, I was reminded of why I de-wishlisted it at first... [h3][b]Yay:[/b][/h3] + Very favoured art. + Atmospheric + Colourful + A level editor is included. [h3][b]Meh:[/b][/h3] ~ Nothing to report. [h3][b]Nay:[/b][/h3] - Character art did not fit the rest of the aesthetic, I feel. - The character handling is some of the absolute least-favourable I've ever encountered. You bounce at the slightest incline, yet are way too heavy, sideways momentum is way too large, and lastly, no jump button is present.. Merely playing the tutorial is enough to signal how completely unwieldy your avatar is, and the fact something this “alpha build” feeling was kept in the final game outright baffles me. - No brake exists, either, and you need to be dead-on-the-centre to use the ascending pillars, and other things. - In the one Christmas level I tried to play (The Last Gift), I could not even consistently make it atop the first section past a slanted platform. - With this completely-unrefined movement system, they then ask you to beat levels in under a certain amount of time, demanding precision that is not even slightly given/seemingly possible. - While you thankfully only need a number of the total 100 Moons (Found out-of-the-way in levels), Suns (awarded for clearing a level), and Wings (Beating a level under par time.) in a stage, level 2 already saw me needing to play it over 10 times, while feeling like I was fighting to control as much as I was the timer, to get the par. This was “Gentle” difficulty one too. - Playing up to the end of the “Save the Princess” level, getting literally every Moon, Sun, and Wing has only showed more issues, as one of the levels saw multiple instances of the crystal-sounding-yet-bouncier-than-rubber orb you play as bouncing clean over a portal key on more than one occasion, as well as the moon on “Crepuscular Connection” being beyond fiddly to try and grab. - “Save the Princess", the last level I tried to play/get all 3 items in, also had one of the lasers that boost you upward out-of-alignment on the first set, which only added to the “thrown together haphazardly” feel of everything but the art. [hr][/hr] [h3][b]Verdict:[/b][/h3] The fact something this perceptibly-broken, this soon into trying to play it, got to this stage without any fixes being applied is absolutely astonishing in the worst way to me, This is only compounded by the fact they then ask you to control this derailed-train-on-bouncy-ice sphere to beat a level under par a total of 80 times is something I'm wondering is even possible by non-computers. Thus, when coupled with the lack of a much-needed jump ability, this strikes me as something done as a result of the fact nobody had in the past, without stopping once to question why this was the case. If you've not gathered by now, I absolutely do not recommend anyone short of the most masochistic even attempt to try this one as a casual player, much less compeletionists.
