DIVO

Step 1 when making an indie platformer is to have the controls actually work worth a darn. I could complain about blind jumps or the generally lousy level design, but no, this one just fails at step 1. Don't buy Bad Hamsters. (I didn't complete this game - I beat about 8 levels and then I got sick of dying to bad controls and bad level design. There's 25 levels, so if you want to point and go "GAME NOT BEATEN!!!", well, nuts to you.)

Divo is not a bad game but a mediocre game. It feels like a game released years ago before downloadable games were popular. It has poor controls that force you to jump forward regardless of momentum and the hamster always go fast which is annoying when trying to platform. The level design is boring and has lots of things that give points even though it lacks leaderboards. It does have some redeeming qualities like being in 2.5D and having a magnet mode that can be fun. Overall it’s just a lazy indie game with little content, bad controls and boring level design.

Terrible... terrible. Probably untested level design. My son played it for a half hour and couldn't make it past the 3rd or 4th jump. As a comparison he is able to beat most levels on "New Super Mario Bros Wii" if given a reasonable amount of time. The gamepad support was terrible! To jump required moving the left joystick down. Down? It's weird enough that you have to use the joystick to jump instead of a button.... but how is pressing down an intuitive way to jump? The ability to switch to magnet mode wasn't even bound to a gamepad button at all. Last but not least, the annoying music and sound effects are louder than your average game, so you'll have to adjust the sound in order to feel comfortable with the volume. So... don't buy this... I'd almost say it's ok to get if it's free (because some people love anthropomorphized animals), but no guarantees.

This games controls can be a little stickey at times and the game-play just isn't fun, I only got it through a bundle and would NEVER pay the full $5.00. For 5 bucks you can get a lot better, this game is a pass.

ok

In DIVO, you controll a hamster in some sort of futuristic wheel. In order to complete a level you need to go left or right and jump on all kinds of platforms. To make it a little more interesting, the wheel also has the ability to magnetise itself on the platforms. During all the jumping there are all sorts of enemies/robots and other contraptions you need to avoid. The gameplay is pretty frustrating and the graphics are not great. The game is pretty original but personally I did not think it was fun enough to keep playing.

This is a weak ripoff of Nebulus on the Commodore 64. A skill based 2D platformer with a simple twist, the platforms are on the outside of a tower that revolves as you move left or right. Collect gems, jump between platforms and climb higher to reach the end of the level. When your game compares poorly to something released 25 years earlier, you shouldn't put it on Steam. I will commend the developer for putting in sufficient effort to make the game work smoothly in 4K on modern PCs. This is completely commendable and should be acknowledged. However, that doesn't justify releasing ancient and deprecated game concepts as if they were new.

Ein "Jump & Run" Spiel, würde ich jetzt einfach mal sagen. Es gibt weitaus bessere Jump & Runs und dieses hier kommt mit langweiligem Level Design leider nicht gerade mit frischen Ideen daher, auch wenn der Hamster und sein Rad etwas anderes darstellen wollen. Mehr als ein paar andere Hintergründe die sich auch sehr schnell abnutzen gibt es in diesem Spiel nicht viel zu sehen. DONT.

Could have been a decent game to kill 5-10 minutes with... But with these controls? Hell no!
