Decline's Drops

то самое чувство когда запускаешь игру с мыслью, что "эй это же игра с механикой файтинга как в супер смеш брос!!!!", но получаешь одну из лучших кирби подобных игр, которую создавали в инди среде. к тому же, игра даёт куда больше, чем простой кирби-лайк платформер: это и ниша для спидранинга, где ваше знание мувсета - ваша победа; весёлый битэмап, дающий много возможностей для расправы с болванчиками. в игре как будто нет ничего лишнего, при этом каждый найдёт для себя здесь то, что ему больше по душе я же очень ценю проработку уровней, их исследовательскую часть, из-за чего прохождение игры напоминает прогулку по парку развлечений, как это могло ощущаться во многих кирби играх. САУНДТРЕК!!!!!!!!!!! пожалуйста, купите эту игру............................

This game had my attention as soon as I found out about it; a 2D platformer that controls like Smash? This is right up my alley as someone who's been playing the Smash series somewhat competitively on and off for around a decade. I am happy to report that the controls of this thing feel spot on for what it's trying to emulate; Globule (the protagonist) controls very fluidly and responsively, and has a very easy to grasp moveset if you've played pretty much any platform fighter for more than a few hours. What really stands out more than anything in this game is the presentation; this game is gorgeous both visually and auditorily. The environments look like something you'd see in the original Yoshi's Island in terms of their colour and style, whilst the character sprites are really reminiscent of those internet Flash animations from the mid 2000s. The OST here really stands out; some of the tracks here are a treat, and the soundtrack ranges from beautiful slow jazz tracks to intense punchy techno beats. As mentioned this game plays a lot like a platform fighter; think Melee adventure mode or even Brawl's Subspace Emissary. The platforming feels good; I like that it gradually introduces more stuff to platform off as the game progresses, which leads to it rarely feeling repetitive or stale. I do like the combat here too as a bit of a Smash veteran, but the lack of enemy variety can start getting a little tired by the end. Luckily this game is fairly short, so it doesn't wear out its welcome much! Definitely worth a try especially if you have experience with Smash, Rivals or other plat fighters. If you come into this as someone less familiar with that specific genre I do think you will struggle to pick this up a bit, but I'd say the early game is pretty generous in terms of difficulty to help you get accustomed to how it all feels. Cool game! 7/10

プラットフォーマーとしてはしっかり凝った作りになっているし見た目や雰囲気も凄く魅力的だしBGMは物凄くオシャレでカッコいいけど、スマブラ風操作である要素があまり無くない？と思ってたら 後半スマブラ風操作なのでただでさえ技も暴発しやすいし、まともにキャンセルがほぼ出来ない作りなのに雑魚敵を狭い足場に配置しまくったり、足場の両端に被弾判定つけてダッシュ攻撃や横スマを事故らせるような作りにしたり、さらに緊急回避が原作(DX)的な高性能なのを露骨に潰すような前モーション皆無の攻撃連発と言った難易度の上げ方が大幅に増えて、この操作の不利な部分を狙い撃ちする方向ばかりの調整になっていてガン萎えしました。結局そうなるなら素直に操作出来る近接攻撃つきのプラットフォーマーとして操作したかったです。 序盤は非常に緩い作りで、それで楽しい方向に振っている方向性なのかと思っていましたが、難易度が高くなると被弾硬直が長く、ライフの回復頻度が高いせいで「進めるけどサンドバッグにされてる感じで楽しくない」感覚が亜空やフィールドスマッシュの楽しくなさとあまり変わらない印象を受けました。 スマブラ風操作は元々が対戦ありきの物なので、この手の本格的なプラットフォーマーでそのまま採用しても技の暴発やキャンセルが不自由な事によるテンポの悪さと、技が豊富でも敵をいちいち吹っ飛ばす意義が無いのと、隙の少ない技を暴発しないようひたすら使うだけになってしまう点で、動かすストレス要素の方が強く感じてあまりこの操作ならではの面白さは見出せませんでした。

I'd been waiting to write my review until I beat the game, but with who i am as a person, who knows when/if that'll be. So I'm writing it now. This game is phenomenal, it feels so smooth, its breathtakingly gorgeous and the soundtrack is unreal. The animations in particular are so smooth and energetic and playful. I've found myself stopping and just listening to almost every new track, it's crazy how great the music is here. This games soundtrack is up there in my list of all-time game OSTs now. It gives me the same feeling of playing various Kirby games but with the combat of Smash Brawl story-mode and the visuals taking cue from Yoshi's Island. The levels are surprisingly big and there are new level gimmicks thrown in constantly to keep things fresh, and they really utilize them too. It makes getting the time trials down more engaging throughout. The way you get alt outfits is very fun too. After getting a key and beating a level (i think) it starts a little racing mini-game. If you win, you get a new costume. The game is just a joy to look at, control and listen to at every moment. Truly just a phenomenal effort, UNBELIEVABLE that this is the dev's first game. Maddening that this doesnt have 10k reviews. If this came out back in the DS or 3DS days, it would've gone triple platinum and be a classic that everyone bemoans current games not being able to hold a candle to. Buy the game. I need this developer to keep making games until i die.

A lovely videogame with an AMAZING art style that I enjoyed GREATLY. Gameplay was FANTASTIC and very reminiscent of Smash Brothers, but reasonably balanced around single player. My only complaints are that enemies and bosses feel kind of easy to fight, and I wish the had more health as to compliment the game's combat system. I also wish the bonus character's unlock requirements were a bit more clear. That all said, I still recommend it. I truly had a WONDERFUL time playing this game.

Jogo maravilhoso! Uma pena não ter PTBR mas o dev disse que se vender bem podem considerar! Se voce curte plataforma e a movimentação de smash vai gostar!

This game is very polished and pretty fun. The controls are very easy to understand because they felt like smash controls!. I really love the character designs Espcially Que sera, gotta love them leggy flexable girl espically if they now that and Que sera DEFIANTLY knows her gift. The only flaw is the first couple of levels have worse music than the later levels and feel pretty long. But I'm very statisfied with it and beat all every stage. I've been following this game for a long time when I saw it a few years ago on twitter.

It kinda reminds me of Rayman Origins in a lot of really nice ways. Really fun, Smash Bros.-styled controls in a "Hop-n-Bop" Beatemup Platformer with really pretty art and beautiful, silent worldbuilding and lots of little optional challenges to test your prowess. and considering Rayman Origins is my favorite game ever, y'know. that's pretty cool. you should get this game And also there's a Game & Watch sidemode and like that's incredibly peak are you kidding me, we love the Game & Watch. wahoo

Recommended if: You find smooth movement in games inherently enjoyable and would look past uninspired level design. Speedrunning levels might be fun as hell too. I wish steam's review system offered more than a binary, because this is a very worthwhile but flawed piece. The art design is rather charming and the movement and core mechanics are engaging. Wavedashing all over the place is quite fun. The game wears its platfighter inspiration on its sleeve. Nevertheless, I do not think the level design highlights the richness of its mechanics. This is both because the levels are rather easy, and because of a clash between the game's aspirations to be a fighter/collect-a-thon and its mechanics' invitation to speed up. I think there is a ton of potential in the game's core, and a different direction in level design could have turned it into a brilliant piece.

Decline's drop is a really fun game that is unique. Unique in the sense it single player focused platformer fighter. Which is really cool as there is not many games like it. The combat has a lot of varrity in terms of moves and combos you can pull off. But also making it easy to get into and hard to master in the controls and excusion. It helps that the art and music is also pretty neat. The varrity of levels in terms of themes and stage elements helps make each level fresh and unique. Don't have much else to say about it to be honset other then the fact that I would reccomend this game for a good time. It's fun, and doing your own combos is super cool.
