Okay, I am honestly a little confused (not trying to be rude), I paid $6.29(on sale) for a metroidvania with a 45-minute story mode and a 45-minute worth of bonus logic puzzles, I mean, there is no game here, an average game in this genre is 5 to 7 hours, I expect at least 3 hours for a smaller project, not 45 minutes for a story mode. There is another mode listed under "coming soon", but the game is not in Early Access, so I am not sure why you have upcoming features. I can tolerate almost any game, almost of any design quality, but you need to at least give me some content for that price, and try to do one thing well instead of accomplishing 2 things 25% of the way. I guess I'll separate the review into 2 parts since you have 2 different experiences here, starting with feedback for metroidvania. As already mentioned, the game only has 45 minutes of exploration in the story mode (that is 100% collection by the way), with only 1 theme for the entire game and mostly recycled enemies, you need to at least triple that, even if you have to color-swap tiles, or just do more harder sections, you can't have a 45-minute metroidvania. You really should not be using generic heart icons for a game with cyborg settings, it just kinda ruins immersion, why can you not have a proper health bar or something thematic? It also feels very strange that a game like this starts with 1-hit death, even though you can increase your health with the upgrades, I mean just have a health meter like you have with the energy, start with 2 hits at least. The melee attack feels pretty bad, it's slow and has poor range, give him some energy blade or something. Most of the recycled enemies don't help with the atmosphere, I am okay with the humanoid robots, but those trash cans that you recycled for bosses don't look very scary. The only positive I can say is that I liked the choice of music, just because I have a soft spot for ambient/industrial themes. Platforming gameplay with the upgrades is kinda serviceable, although when you jump on platforms sometimes they get sticky. As for the logic mode, I guess it's okay, I even enjoyed the last 4 levels or so, it's just that those weird explosion hitboxes and the mechanics around them don't make the puzzles very intuitive. Sometimes the game gives you 2 boxes to use in the puzzle, but I didn't even need them to progress. Even if you wanted to go that route, the puzzle mode would need more visual and mechanical changes for variety. [h1] Pros: [/h1] (+) The only thing I liked about the game is the choice of music, but then again, there is not enough of a game, hence you don't have much music in the game too. (+) The puzzle mode is kinda okay, it has some mechanical issues and the puzzles don't always work as you expect. Again, too short, not enough levels, and no visual progression. [h1] Feedback: [/h1] [u] Content [/u] - even for a very small indie game, you really want at least 3 hours for a story mode in this genre, not 45 minutes. You need at least 2 different theme changes, like actual different areas with unique enemies, not just recycled content. Even if you just used the existing tiles for more harder content, at least I would have something to play, just make more rooms you know, and color swap if you must, but you can't have it at 45 minutes. [u] Immersion [/u] - using heart icons instead of a health meter, recycled enemies, and lack of world-building makes it very forgettable. [u] Gameplay [/u] - I would try to improve the melee attack animation or give him a better attack, maybe a weapon. Moving platforms feel junky, like sometimes they pull you around. You need to design more platforming sections in general, you barely have any content to flex your skills. [b] Overall Thoughts: 3/10 [/b] Sorry but there is no game here. If you do all those things that I mentioned, that is the minimum, that is just the starting line, you have to do even more than that. On the short end, games in this genre are 3 hours, you just can't give me a 45-minute story mode + some puzzles, you need 3 times as much content with more unique areas that look different, with significant gameplay improvements. I can forgive you for making a bad game, but you didn't even make a game for me to experience.

Metroid clone with clunky movement. The game is not the worst and I know that some people might enjoy it, but I did not. You can't shoot whilst in the air for example, so silly... Level design is rather basic, but playable, there's no variety in enemies at all though. It feels like a cheap metroid rip off, it plays like a cheap metroid rip off, it is a cheap metroid rip off. After trying this game out I gave Super Metroid a shoot, it was smoother and better. With so many good metroidvanias nowadays it's not worth wasting your time on unpolished products like this one.

Game is a little too short, however created with a great love for metroidvania style of games. Even if the art-style and the variety of enemies seems to be a quite monotonous, the pace of presenting the game mechanics to the player is just there as well as puzzle-like boss fights. I would definately like the Story Mode to be longer and have more of "Lab" mode puzzles to be implemented into the regular game. I am curious about "Coming Soon" content as I do see potential in ".fig". If you are open minded for a smaller works, like puzzles and you are up for a pixel-art platformer like '92 "Assassin" you will enojoy this game!

For the price it isn't bad and if they can smooth out the overall feel of the game i think its passable. The shooting was weird on controller as it was joystick based. The jump feels to heavy as one of the bosses requires you to jump over them repeatably but i keep getting hit by them. Everything feels to weighty in my op. as for the issues others have stated i didnt really have any. Game-play https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCyQhh7N6pc&ab_channel=BirdieTheWise

Jogo é interessante, de início me lembrou muito Metroid Fusion mas é extremamente curto. Zerei ele em 50 minutos ou menos. Infelizmente o controle não funcionou e no teclado eram muitos botões. Existem alguns outros modos de desafios mas este game pode ter uma sequência aproveitando bem seus recursos.

Movement is clunky and level design is ok.

Było ok.

I don't want to criticize this mini-Metroidvania too harshly since it's evident that it's an early attempt, but there are too many bugs to enjoy it. The game isn't unplayable, but there are instances where you're unexpectedly pushed off or fall through a platform, the jump height is reduced by half, or you break through the floor and walk on the bottom (inside) of the floor. The latter occurred to me when I was in the Flyer (2nd boss) room. Typically, you can fix these minor issues by leaving the room and re-entering, but since you cannot leave the boss fight, I was done. Obviously, I cannot recommend it.

I enjoyed it. The main story isn't very long and pretty fun to complete. However, there are parts in the lab and warehouse that require Japanese levels of skill. Like holy $h!^

[h2] 그냥 스토리모드로 어떤 게임인지만 맛 봤습니다.
