(¯`·._)♣ ♤ ♥♠ villanueva-9 ♣ ♤ ♥♠(¯`·._) Bombillas heroicas, reinos festivos y el plataformas retro de la era Mega Drive definitivo Si buscas una aventura independiente en dos dimensiones que rinda un tributo directo a los grandes referentes de la era de los 16 bits, te sumerja en mundos gigantescos basados en las vacaciones humanas y te desafíe a salvar los recuerdos felices de la sociedad destruyendo a demonios oscuros, esta propuesta gratuita estrenada el 2 de enero de 2017 es una opción espectacular. Lleva la clásica y querida fórmula del plataformeo clásico al estilo de la consola Sega Genesis a su máximo exponente de exploración libre y variedad de equipamiento, cumpliendo con creces el propósito de ofrecer un pasatiempo directo, retador y sumamente divertido. • Premisa original y ambientación festiva insuperables: La historia nos traslada al Reino Jubilee, un lejano universo creado a partir de los recuerdos alegres de la humanidad. El guion destaca por encima de los shooters tradicionales al ponerte en los zapatos de Blink —una simpática bombilla viviente de Winter Land— que decide viajar a través de seis mundos temáticos de vacaciones (como pascuas o Halloween) para derrotar a los Holidaemon, seis bestias corruptas nacidas del rencor humano. • Ciclo de día y noche y jugabilidad fluida: El sistema de juego ofrece una propuesta mecánica comodísima y de ritmo muy ágil que se controla al milímetro con el teclado o mando. La gran originalidad radica en que las condiciones climáticas y temporales cambian entre fases; ver cómo el comportamiento de las criaturas muta por completo, aparecen minijefes sorpresa y los escenarios de neón se transforman en mitad de la noche se siente increíblemente responsivo y dinámico. • Arsenal cargado y treinta objetos interactivos: El título te permite romper con la monotonía del salto básico al poner a tu disposición un catálogo de armas y ventajas súper adictivo. Tu ataque base consiste en disparar chispas de luz que puedes cargar para infligir más daño, un arsenal que se expande de forma brutal al recolectar 20 objetos pasivos de protección (como barreras de espinas o invocaciones de zombis) y 10 habilidades activas que incluyen aceleraciones de estrella o velas de fuego. • Generación pseudo-aleatoria y rejugabilidad extrema: El planteamiento de sus inmensas estancias destaca por introducir algoritmos de creación procedimental para picar tu espíritu competitivo. Cruzar las salas recogiendo monedas brillantes para gastar en las tiendas internas y descubrir caminos secretos dota a cada intento de un componente de ritmo, lógica y misterio excelentes, ideal para asegurar horas de juego rápido sin aburrirte. • Puntos a mejorar: La curva de dificultad sufre picos bastante bruscos y un tanto toscos a partir de la segunda mitad de la campaña, introduciendo arenas con tal densidad de enemigos disparando de forma simultánea que la pantalla puede llegar a saturar tus reflejos. Además, debido a su humilde concepción técnica y a su bajo presupuesto original, la interfaz de los menús exteriores resulta un tanto simple y plana frente a los estándares modernos. • Contenido lineal de corta duración: Aunque el título goza de una rejugabilidad excelente gracias a la aparición aleatoria de sus cofres y modificadores, la campaña principal para derrotar al jefe definitivo se puede completar al 100% en aproximadamente 2 o 3 horas de juego. Asimismo, el juego se encuentra exclusivamente disponible con textos en inglés, careciendo de una traducción oficial a nuestro idioma en sus ventanas de información. Quizás exija una paciencia estándar para asimilar los patrones de ataque de sus guardianes y un pulso firme para no caerte por los precipicios, pero a nivel de ritmo, optimización de archivos (apenas pesa 120 MB en tu PC), excelente banda sonora festiva en chiptune y fidelidad al puro desafío mecánico es, por mucho, un juego de plataformas redondo y muy gratificante. ¡Varias horas de chispas de neón, mundos navideños esquivados, habilidades arácnidas y pura adrenalina retro totalmente gratuita aseguradas! _____________8__88_____8 ____________88_8__8_____8 ___________888_____88___88888 __________8888______88_8____88 _________8888_______88______8_8 _________8888_______88______8_8 _________8888_______8_______8 _________8888_____8_______8 __________88888____8______8 ___________8888888______8 __888_________88888_8 8888888________88_____ _8888888_______8_____ __888888_______88_____ ___88_____8_____8_____ ____8______8____8_____8_88 _______8888_8__88_8_88888 _____888888_8_88__8888888 ____8888888__88______88888 ____88888_____8_________888 ____88_________8__________8 _____8_________8_____ _______________8_____ ____________8_8_____ _____________88_8_____ ______________88_____ ______________8_____

Кривой ретро-платформер в стиле Sega Mega Drive. Пройдите игру, потом пройдите первые акты каждой зоны ночью (меняется в настройках).
Neat little platformer, simple and easy.
[h1] Like Mario mix in Mega-man [/h1] is the combination of Mega-man and Mario serials mix into together. I can't found the button to return and save the progress, since all level got stuck at a point, can't save became a huge amount problem, well since there already five maps open for player so I can't really say this game are that bad or something. most of the ability you could got in game are not clear, even read thought the description in-game still confused as hell , double jump feature and the ability to turn your way in sky, the running won't stop direct on push, instead you slide though a range that crush into enemy or obstacle. maybe for the player who love Mario game.
O jogo lembra Sonic em termos de level designer, mas ao invés de derrotar os inimigos pulando neles, em Blink the Bulb usamos eletricidade como arma. Pode-se disparar rajadas de eletricidades ou descarregar eletricidade ao iniciar um pulo-duplo, mas perde-se HP caso esbarre no inimigo durante o pulo. O jogo possui 5 fases, divididas em 2 estágios cada (todas com chefes diferentes), e ao completa-las a fase final será desbloqueada. Blink ainda possui referências visuais aos jogos clássicos do Sonic como a tela inicial dos estágios e os inimigos transformam-se em coisinhas fofas quando derrotados. Veredito É decente dentro da proposta, talvez um pouco fácil demais, mas mesmo assim compensa investir algumas horas caso você curta o gênero, portanto eu o recomendo.
Es como un Sonic, pero este, en vez de ser Sonic the Hedgehog, es Chotic the HeadChot. El bicho protagonista tiene muchisima menos onda que el erizo de SEGA, pero ojalá sólo fuera eso... El juego este es aburrido y todo lo que copia del Sonic, lo copia de forma muuuy mala.
Blink the Bulb, devasa tatil temalı diyarlardan oluşan 16 bitlik bir platform oyunudur. Eski oyunlara geri dönüş yapan bu oyunda altı eşsiz dünyayı keşfedin, çeşitli güçlendirmeleri karıştırıp eşleştirin ve hain Holidaemon'u savuşturun.
"Blink the Bulb" is a 2D retro pixel platformer that's been slapped together by filling out templates in the godawful GameMaker Studio video game construction kit from Yoyogames. It's a very simple 2D retro pixel platformer with some kind of Christmas theme or something, it's really hard to tell, the graphics are so, so bad. They chose to use obsolete retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result. The developer wasn't even able to make widescreen work properly in the game so it displays as just 4:3 pillarboxed. Perhaps the game was made with an old CRT monitor from 1997 that the developer found in a dumpster? In line with the lack of widescreen support, [strike]resolution and controls are locked[/strike] resolution is locked but controls can be altered through a somewhat convoluted and unpleasant to use customisation schema. These flaws push this game far below minimum acceptable standards for PC. GameMaker Studio is a very poor quality game construction kit, and unsurprisingly results in products that have little to no value as games, especially when compared to the work of professional developers who create genuine products for gamers. Using a video game construction kit requires little to no talent or skill as a game developer. Very often, GameMaker Studio is used to make shovelware and lazy cash grabs, although in this case the game is completely free. Nothing speaks more to a developers belief in themselves and their product than making their game available for everyone without remuneration. This is certainly a gesture that shows dedication to the gaming industry. It's a shame in this case that the implementation is below the minimum standards a dedicated PC game should offer to enthusiasts. There's no "maybe" option in Steam, unfortunately, but I hope to see more work from this developer, perhaps as part of a professional game development company that can make full use of their talents without needing to make budget/quality compromises like pixel art and using off the shelf game templates and construction kits. [quote][url=https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/reviews]Developer Response![/url][/quote] The developer has weighed in to inform everyone they didn't read the [url=https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/reviews]Developer Usage Rules[/url] for Steam "partners", or they deliberately ignored the part where Valve says: [quote]Though it may be tempting, not every review needs to be responded to. A developer response will frequently draw more attention than the original statement, potentially turning a small issue into a much larger community discussion. It's also not a good idea to use this feature to refute customer opinions. Your direct attention can be seen as validation or a defensive attempt to silence your customers.[/quote] The developer advises the complex method required to rebind the controls in the game, so I've corrected my review to reflect this information. Otherwise, the developers response does nothing to explain the poor quality of this GameMaker Studio template/asset flip and does nothing to change or improve it, so my review stands.
Weird and wacky platformer that incorporates active and passive items through the means of chests opened in a way that gives off Risk of Rain vibes. Not only this but it also makes use of a day and night cycle, depending on what time it is, determines how the enemies act and which boss you will face. Join the titular character, Blink as he tries to save the day from evil. A highly underrated must-play for all platformer lovers!
