Apoapsis

Two years ago — H-content will be there later. @ One year — Still thinking about new features. @ Somewhere later — "Jiggle animations; Suggestive artwork". No this is not an excuse to act like content is here, or it's coming soon. Yeah, it's cheap af, but as the game itself it generally not even close to be decent, whole sell-point was H-content promised to be later, and two years after it's still not here, dev is probably dead when it comes to any kind of communication. So no, it's not coming, don't buy this.

Note: Paying 4.99, full price for this on itch.io before the Steam release, and then waiting only to find the price is knocked down to 2.99, just angers me because there is no reason to knock down the price, unless the developer knew this game was not worth 4.99 at all! - Although on the itch.io page, there were mentions of extra down-the-road content, that still doesn't justify the current price at 2.99 as of launch. (Link To itch.io page): chrome-cloak-games.itch.io/apoapsis - This game as of launch (Feb. 26, 2019) isn't worthwhile content-wise. It has as much content as many free side-scrolling online flash games you can find on Newgrounds. Yet as stated in the description, it will take a person ONLY about 15 minutes just to get through it. However, there is basically ZERO replayability, and ALMOST nothing was changed from the itch.io release, which was made for the Ludum Dare 43 game jam about 1 month ago. - Considering that there are other games out there, even on Steam that are 2.99 or less that contain more than 15 minutes of content, this game doesn't hold up well comparatively, e.g. Downwell for about 1.00 USD. It's probably in your best interest to spend 2.99 elsewhere until more content for this game comes out. Also, I noticed that the Steam release is somehow more buggy than the itch.io release. The following I noted during my playthrough: -Pressing z while mid-air (in the Steam release, not itch.io) causes the ending screen to show up. I have no idea why this occurs, (maybe some debugging the developer was doing that they forgot to remove?) -Buttons for cheats and other stuff are not locked until the player beats the game. For example, you can get 6 units of HP and 12 units of stamina from pressing a certain key on your keyboard. - The AI in this game is broken, it's not engaging when you easily find how the AI seem to not react or do anything when off-screen or very close to the edge of the screen. - (*Spoilers) [spoiler] Entering the last boss room is basically the point of no-return, either you have at least 7 to 8 units of stamina to properly do the last part of platforming after the boss fight itself, otherwise you're stuck as you don't have enough stamina to perform 2 boosts, and hover for about 2 - 3 seconds. If you manage to find yourself in this situation, it's best to not waste time and just restart at the save point before the boss fight and do some more exploration, or just use the cheats given to the player. [/spoiler] - Even if this game isn't worthwhile, there is undoubtedly a solid foundation for a much larger and expanded action-packed 2D side-scrolling adventure here, if the developer wants to create a worthwhile experience, he could start off with creating a story, not too complicated, simple yet interesting to move the player through a large variety of environments, along with more power-ups, though these power-ups should have an uniqueness to them to separate the experience from other side-scrolling games.

A short, challenging but fun Metroidvania style shooter! This really tests your skills and doesn't pull any punches, starting you off with very limited resources. However if you're a veteran at these types of games it's not hard to find all the secret power ups to make your sexy space adventurer stronger and more equipped to face this hostile planet filled with strange creatures! Try to expand your HP as soon as possible, otherwise you're going to see the game over screen a lot! If you have 20 minutes to kill this is a great buy for a short burst of fun!

For 0'79 it's a pretty cool minivania, though it definitely lacks a lot of polish. I faced a lot of bugs and an achievement won't pop up, and I would be pretty mad if I paid 5 bucks, as it seems this game did a while ago, but for its price I can't say I wasn't entertained. A pity it seems like it won't receive more support, because if this was polished, refined and expanded we could have a pretty cool metroid-like in our hands.

垃圾玩意也敢妄称「Metroidvania」，千万别上当！ 主界面只有new game可用，不能设置不能改键位，默认键位反人类还没提示，按Z就变一幅画然后定住了然后就报错。
