BUZZ

It's a neat decently sized platformer. The gimmick is fun, and the mechanics introduced throughout were fairly interesting and added more challenge and depth. I like the visuals, they have an interesting vibe to them and I think it's almost silly that the gimmick itself relates to the fact that you are playing as what appears to be a sentient saw. This is definitely a simple game on the surface, but for what it's worth it's solid. All the achievements are good as well. I managed to 100% it and I found nothing wrong or unfair with them. Though the game does have slight issues with difficulty as at least by the end it spikes up more than between the former levels. Maybe by the last like 6 levels or so, but I have also had moments where some levels prior to that would be a breeze while others would give me some trouble. It's possible that was because each level had a different thing to offer but I don't know. Sometimes you also might have to just haphazardly fling yourself across the map just to know what's ahead next time. Maybe a way to look around beforehand like in games such as Celeste would have been neat, but at least I didn't have to rely on this tactic often. Though I do think that the flames (collectibles) positions could have been somewhat better, especially by the very end with the last maybe 5 regular levels. Carmine 8 and Abyss 10 essentially doubled my playtime with just how frustratingly precise the flames were. The ways to obtain the flames sometimes are honestly so far fetched that it might take you a few attempts of seeking them out to even realize what you're meant to do. Sometimes, they were almost too precise. Additionally, I didn't mention it, but while the music is fine and the layered theming is refreshing, for the times when I'd stay on one level for a longer period of time, some of the tracks would get a little irritating. But overall it's a solid platformer. If you want to play as a saw and buzz through blocks of goop and void in style and want a nice challenge that doesn't overstay its welcome too much, you might like BUZZ. It is definitely worth its price for what it is.

Infuriatingly addictive. The void beckons.

It's like Super Meat Boy crossed with Bit.Trip Runner. Challenging, fun, addictive.

Since I was a wee-lad, I have dreamt that I may one day take the form of a vibrant buzz saw with an eye, bounce through different realms at break-neck speed while an ominous soundtrack plays in the distance. A feast for the eyes and a symphony for the ears, if you will. As I realise that I will never transcend to such an immaculate existence, I spiral down into the void like our beloved spinning protagonist. Unlike it though, there is no R button for me. 10/10

Breezed through the game in then got stuck on Scarlet_02 for 20 minutes. There's no clear way to finish it. Tried to find a guide or play through but there doesn't seem to be one. Showed the game to someone else without mentioning it, they got stuck in the same spot. Gave the game a year long break. Came back, stuck in the exact same spot. Feel like we're missing an essential mechanic to progress. There's no hints, guides, tutorials, or option to skip levels so we're stuck on level 4(?) and locked out of the majority of the game.

exactly as advertised

i suck butt at this. but its great,. kinda like sucking butt

A platform where the main challenge is learning how to control the character well Its very intuitive though, weirdly enough, feels like fighting against buoyancy and gravity I recommend it!
