Ethan: Meteor Hunter

A lot better than I expected! 4/5 [b][u]Pros[/u]:[/b] - Very challenging puzzles and platforming. - Good variety of challenges. - About 3 leaderboards per stage. Clear time, fragments collected, and pauses used. - 3 worlds with many stages. The game is hard enough to make you spend a lot of time trying to beat it, but it doesn't feel very unfair. [i](I spent an hour on a late stage once...)[/i] - Lots of replayability for every stage due to built-in challenges for low clear time, fragments collected, minimal pauses used and leaderboards. - Physics are well done. Momentum needs to be manipulated as well. Many possibilities. - Multiple ways to complete stages. - In-game art/graphics are decent, animations are smooth. - Quick restarts, instant respawns. - Controller support [i](though I prefer KB/M on this game)[/i] - Sound effects and music are decent 3/5. I never felt like I had to turn off the music. - Steam Card drops. - Has achievements [i](better than none, and they give you something to go for)[/i] - No RNG. This is good news for speedrunners. [i](This would be an entertaining game to see speedruns of, though it'd be insanely difficult)[/i] - No significant bugs from what I've seen so far. [i](Aside from a tiny one with the restart dialogue popping up continuously if you spam the confirm button on keyboard or controller)[/i] - Some stages have cheese hidden in hard to reach places if you want to go for some optional additional challenges. [b][u]Cons[/u]:[/b] - Story is lacking, but is not absent. - The opening cutscene to a new game is not very good. - The game can't be minimized in windowed mode. - Configuration settings are limited to resolution, VSync, fullscreen/windowed, and FXAA on/off. But you would likely not benefit from many more options than these on this game anyway. Give it a shot. *Overall reviews are rated lower than it deserves, honestly. I mostly see a lot of casuals complaining about the game being difficult, which should not warrant a negative review, especially when the difficulty does not feel very unfair.

5/10 Never (before how) have I quit and unistalled a game only 90 minutes into playing it. This game has charm and excitement, and each level is interesting and challenging. Unfortunately, its good points are horribly overshadowed by the difficulty and requirement for split-second timing. To say that this game suffers from being too finicky, is an understatement. Do not play this game unless you have either the reaction time of a fighter jet pilot, or more patience than Ghandi.

So i got this game from a friend for free, and decided to write a review about this game. First off, this is a platform / speedrunner game. Im not really into speedrunners due to my disabilities in my hand, but i will try to make this review biased-free. So here is my pro/con list: PROS: `You play as a rat `Some puzzle aspects `Platformer with speedrunning `Collecting things on every level! `Secret Levels! `Cheese! `Time powers! CONS: `Some of the level goals are exteremly hard to obtain, including cheese and items. `The game has a very difficult learning curve compared to other games. `Sometimes when you do a puzzle correctly, it does not work, even if done several times right! I would rate this as neutral, but since steam does not have neutral...i will recommend it due to how it is. Even if i don't like speedrunners and will never able to get all these achievements.. WARNING: This game is not for new platformer players. Experienced players only due to difficulty! Difficulty Levels: MODERATE TO VERY HARD!

Ethan: Meteor Hunter is a deep and extremely challenging game. At times it gets too challenging, though, and it lacks the personality needed to emerge in a crowded genre. Game : 8.5/10 Graphic : 8.5/10

эххх стим гринлайт.Как же мало ноунэйм игр осталось с тех времен.Они не умирают но жить им никто не даёт=(

Difficulty spikes quite a bit and the pogo levels have no checkpoints, which for me turns the game into a frustration machine.

Всем доброго вечера леди и джентельмены, с вами Берникс и эт обзор на игру, под названием: "Итан- Охотник на метеорит." Довольно незамысловатый платформер, который напичкан старыми, добрыми ностальгическими нотками и загадками, прямиком из Gish и других подобных на то время игр. Ну и ещё, эта игра немного пропитана таким Французским колоритом(поймёте почему, пройдя игру). В игре есть сюжет, где вы играете за мышонка, который решил расследовать дело об упавшем метеорите. Ну и покусочно его собрать. Вот в принципе и всё, что вам в игре надо сделать. Вообще, я непомню как эта игра оказалась в моей библиотеке. Судя по всему, мне кто то кидал от неё купон, так как на почте не высвечивалась от кого эта игра была, поэтому делаю выводы, что я сам покупал её по скидке). А ещё я незнаю, почему у этой игры смешанные обзоры, если учесть тот фактор, что она в принципе в плане графики весьма интересна и сюжет очень увлекает. Типо есть мотивация чего делать. В игре есть музыка и она не надоедает.Ах да, игру я не прошёл потому что оказалься в довольно сложном месте, а если учитывать что ГГ умеет только бегать, прыгать (коротко и высоко) и + там ещё какая то есть система загадок, так называемая "сила замедления ",дающая вам возможность перетаскивать какие то ящики, при этом вертя их направо и налево, то простая игра, превращаеться по щелчку пальцев в никому не нужную дрочь из цикла: "думай целых 40 минут". Багов и прочих приколов не наблюдалось. Подитожу и скажу, что игра очень мне понравилась. Несмотря на то, что я её несмог осилить. Поэтому я поставлю ей 7 из 10 зелёных кусков метеорита. И рекомендую её тем, кто любит платформинг и головоломки.

Since the recommendation compares Ethan: Meteor Hunter to Braid, I bought it hoping for challenging and well-designed puzzles, but the challange and the difficulty of this game comes solely from jumping on and over things at the right time. As far as puzzles go, you can freeze time and rearrange some parts of the area you are in, but it is not too hard to figure out what you need to do and when you need to do it. The platformer part, on the other hand, is frustratingly hard, and you can't make it easier by being smart with the puzzles. After the first couple of levels, I can't even get from checkpoint to checkpoint without dying a million times, which simply prevents me from enjoying this game at all. On the whole, I don't recommend the game for it's original price, especially if you'd buy it for the puzzles. If you like difficult platformers, you might like it though.

This is a platformer with puzzle elements, consisting of pausing the fast-paced jump-and-avoid-action to very methodically place wooden blocks to form stairs, bridges and whatnots. The idea is cool enough, but the pause-and-action-system really screws up the immersion. It's a few hours of pretty solid gameplay, but most of the time it isn't very fun, just annoying. The puzzles aren't that hard; they require more luck than anything. 4/10, I'd say.
