Beard Blade

《Beard Blade》的關卡難度與長度都適中，玩法偏向簡化的Wario Land 3，完成度稍微不足，不過遊玩體驗還算愉快。（YT上可以看到Demo版跟正式版有很大的差別，開發者大概是把靈魂榨乾了） 仍有改善空間的部分： 遊戲選單方面 ．無論是鍵盤或控制器都無法自定義鍵位 ．有時重開遊戲得重新設定視窗尺寸 ．有做BGM選單卻無法聆聽 ．存檔不會標明遊戲完成度 遊戲性方面 ．角色在跳躍與緩降這兩者之間的動作判定有點難掌握 ．有些收集品必須在強化能力後才能獲得，但在設計上不太會聯想到 ．全收集似乎無額外要素

Geniales Jump´n`Run, erinnert an die Hits der 90er (Rayman, SMB sowieso etc.) Gut ausbalancierte Schwierigkeit Collectibles, aber davon nicht zu viele Upgrades, aber nicht zu viele und nicht zu unbezahlbar Movement ist ziemlich perfekt Selbst Unterwasserlevel steuern sich, entgegen jeder Gewohnheit, sehr gut Absolute Empfehlung, wenn man mal wieder ein unterhaltsames, gut gestaltetes und im richtigen Maß anspruchsvolles J´n`R spielen will

Fun and a classic

Now, this review is coming from someone who has pretty much only played platformers ever since I was 5 years old, and I'm still seeking, finding, and playing platformers of any kind of this day. Beard Blade is no exception, and it definitely shows in every aspect. GWAPHICS ----------------------------------------------------------------- The graphics are really the strong suit here. Everything just feels so alive and shows excruciating detail and heart and soul at that. In some aspects, like some of the nighttime levels, show remarkable attention to detail. MUSIC ------------------------------------------------------------------ The music is literally one of my newfound favorite soundtracks. After hearing that the composer of this game, Steven Melin, was responsible for numerous types of SNES-inspired music, he really hooked me in for some foot-stompin' music. From the way it's all playful jazz music, to anything that comes from a cute 2D platformer, it's all harkening back to the good ol' days. CONTWOLS ------------------------------------------------------------------ The controls, while they're nice to have, can feel a bit slippery at times, and the hovering mechanic, in my personal opinion, I think is really only there for the sake of it, other than save for a few tricky jumps. With the hovering mechanic, the gravity starts to slowdown, but then about 1.5 seconds in, and I'm back to my normal gravity. I also like the addition of numerous other abilities Branson can unlock, such as the ground pound and claw ability. OTHER STUFF ------------------------------------------------------------------ For the overall polish, while the visuals are probably the stand-out point for everybody, I could see a few cracks in the polishing department. For one, in one of the first few levels, if I swim all the way to the left or to the right, I could see that the water was not all the way inside the tiles. In the first Shallot Shipyard level, if I try to jump over after I get hit by the Urchin-like enemy, not only can I not jump, but also, the jump sound plays more than once, which is pretty annoying and grating to hear. Also, for the collectibles, I don't see any real point in getting them other than for the sake of it, and for the end-of-level bosses with the green thief guy, not only is it pretty easy to beat considering that you have to mash the X key 3 times in order to defeat him, but also, I don't see any point in having to beat this guy all the time. OVERALL ------------------------------------------------------- Overall, while the graphics and music are the standout points for this game, the controls could use a tiny-bit of fine-tuning, and the polish could really be addressed. I would also recommend adding real value to the collectibles and the thief mini-bosses, rather than the sake of nostalgia. Now then, would I recommend this game in 2026? Yes, considering that it's now $4.99. (To which I literally don't know why, but hey, it's $5.) It used to be $13.99, and if it still kept that price, I would consider waiting for a discount, since I got this game for $2.79 on sale. Overall Rating: 7.5/10.

Imagine if Super Mario didn't attempt to do anything like introducing new mechanics. The movement isnt fun or fluid, its slow and clunky but theres no platforming challenge in the first place.

[h1]ドット絵は美麗だが[/h1] [h1]全体的に不親切[/h1] SFC～GBA 辺りの名作（例：ワリオランド3、スパドン）の影響を色濃く感じる、2Dプラットフォーマーゲーム。 SFC後期辺りの[u][b]高密度で美麗なドット絵[/b][/u]と[u][b]良質なレベルデザイン[/b][/u]のおかげで全クリまで結構楽しく遊べましたが、全体的にやや低い QoL（※）のせいでプレイ体験が微妙になる場面がそこそこありました。 5段階評価で言うと [b]☆3.3[/b] ぐらい。 [strike]セール時の購入をオススメします[/strike]。 [u]定価が下がったので常にオススメ[/u]。 ※ QoL を下げている主な要因 ●一部アクションの操作性 －ホバリング（ポニテスピン） －棒つかみ（グラップル） ●操作コマンドの説明不足 －取説があれば問題ないけど…… －本作にはそういうの無い ヒゲショット：R2/RT ヒゲドロップ：滞空中に□/X ヒゲローリング解除：↑ ●リスタート時のテンポが悪い ●Steam のSS機能（F12）が使えない ●音量設定が起動時に初期化される ●一部BGMの音割れ

A very good platformer with great feeling mecanics. Good level design and ideas thoughout although some design related to other things such as collectable is flawed. For example, it's easy to understand what some collectable such as the soundtrack discs do, but I've finished the game and don't know what the goblin coins do. There also is no tracking feature of what you've collected while inside a level, so unless you go from memory, you won't know if you've collected everything before finishing a level. Also, for some reason, the final world is way easier that the one that comes just before where they like to throw new mecanics and limitations in there (one of my favorite parts honestly though). It was a fun experience and do recommend it even with those small flaws in the game!

This is a fun game, the kind you can play over and over, with fun hidden things to find.

Solo he jugado unos minutos, pero me ha bastado ese breve tiempo para quedarme completamente sorprendido. Este juego es una auténtica joya oculta dentro del catálogo de Steam. Desde el primer momento, transmite una energía especial: una mezcla de nostalgia, creatividad y mimo por los detalles que no se ve todos los días. La variedad de situaciones que propone es impresionante. Escalas árboles, saltas entre plataformas, buceas en escenarios subacuáticos, montas en vagonetas, golpeas enemigos con precisión… Cada mecánica está bien integrada y aporta dinamismo al conjunto. No se siente repetitivo en ningún momento, y eso es algo que valoro muchísimo en un juego de plataformas. Los gráficos en pixel art son una delicia. Cada escenario está cuidadosamente diseñado, con una paleta de colores que evoca los clásicos de los 90 pero con un toque moderno que lo hace destacar. Se nota que hay cariño detrás de cada sprite, cada animación, cada fondo. Es arte retro en movimiento. La banda sonora acompaña de forma excelente. No solo ambienta, sino que refuerza la emoción de cada momento. Hay temas que te relajan, otros que te ponen en tensión, y todos están bien sincronizados con la acción. Es uno de esos juegos donde te sorprendes tarareando la música incluso después de cerrar la partida. Lo acabo de probar y, sinceramente, me he quedado totalmente impresionado. Me alegro muchísimo de haber invertido mi dinero en este título. Es una compra que no solo satisface, sino que deja con ganas de seguir explorando cada rincón del juego. Se nota que está hecho con pasión y respeto por el género. Quiero felicitar sinceramente a los desarrolladores. Les deseo todo el éxito del mundo con este proyecto, porque se lo merecen. Han creado algo especial, algo que conecta con quienes amamos los videojuegos retro, pero también con quienes buscan experiencias frescas y bien ejecutadas.
