Aureole - Wings of Hope

Officially 102% completed this game so here are my thoughts: Holy peak Definitely one of the most unique 2D Platformers i have ever played, and god is it so fun. - The controls are super simple but feel a little unorthodox to begin with, however once you get the flow of movement it's super satisfying and the levels open up in ways akin to a game like Celeste. - The soundtrack is straight fire, each time i entered a new world I thought "there's no way this song can be better than the last one," and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. EVERY SINGLE WORLD. mad props to the composers - The secrets featured in the worlds can be pretty hidden, but in a way which rewards player exploration and movement which is super neat Tiny negatives: - Few bugs here and there with clipping OOB and camera issues but nothing major that ruins the positives - Story was a little exposition-y at times but overall fine. The game is more about the platforming and level design than the story, but I like the dynamics between the two lead characters Absolutely worth picking this game up if you enjoy games like Celeste or 2D Sonic or other momentum based platformers, cause this game is a hidden gem tl;dr game good

Early in-game review (barely into world 3): This game is a lot of fun. Especially if you're like me and love those games that allow you to go fast and express your skill in various ways, all while being pretty simple and intuitive. It's almost like air strafing in source games or utilizing spin in a marble game, it's something that's so simple or (for marble spin) easy to understand and so satisfying to use properly! If you enjoy honing your skills over and over on something to be able to "master" a level or time in a game, this is also perfect for you. Marble games, speedrunning, movement games, hard platformers, etc. If any of these peek your interest, you'll enjoy trying to go for 100% in this game. Not to your taste? It's still pretty easy to just beat without allat. Some mechanics aren't explained TOO well, up until now the one that's kinda hard for me to understand + isn't explained is the spinning ring halo thing, you can get a rainbow boost from it, if you exit it correct? Could use some guides or notes in game for stuff like that Another ""bad"" thing I have to say about this game is there really aren't that many guides or videos on it. If you want help or reference with something in the game or just "am I doing this right", you kind of have to figure it out for yourself, or look at a speedrun. But I don't really fault this game for having some slightly intricate mechanics and a community not big enough to share them. I LOVE the music, some of it even has these hints of "oh yeah this could totally be in a sonic game". Artstyle is lovely too, love the 2d ring is animated in a very believable way and reacts accordingly also. Will try to update this after I beat it / 100% it.

Un jueguito divertido, dinámico y visualmente precioso. Una vez se entienden los controles, el gameplay es fluido y divertido Los niveles extra y las mejores marcas suponen un reto adicional que complementa muy bien el juego "base", y están bastante bien equilibrados La única pega es que a veces es frustrante la pérdida de inercia al usar el salto, pero es parte de la gracia del juego

Real fun game! Can be a bit janky at times but it's an otherwise well-rounded and challenging experience. I always felt motivated to grind for gold times in each stage. I think it's missing some crucial [OPTIONS] however - not being able to turn off screenshake, hide speed burst effects and hide debris particles often makes it hard to see where you are on the screen and made the time trials a much more frustrating experience at times than they otherwise would have been. It's also a bit dialogue-heavy for my taste but that says more about me, really. Still - if you enjoy time trials and route optimisation it's worth checking out.

A bit hard to get into the controls but when it clicks is super satisfying! A must buy if you are into precision platforming, fast level design and mastering a level to get better time.

only in the first area but I really love how this game feels, extremely addicting :> art is super cute too halo go weeeeeeeeeeeee

El control se siente increíblemente preciso y agradable, y que los niveles tengan secretos escondidos te hace estar atento a ellos. La única pega que le puedo poner es que hay demasiados pinchos a veces

Juego muy top comprenlo YA

Just finished 100% for this game and I had a blast. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to enjoy a great speed platformer.

good disable dubbing if you wish to retain your sanity
