Fragrance Point

Dig the aesthetic, but annoying gameplay and very backtracky. Also no real warning for the point of no return, or a way to return to before that point to get one final collectible. Also using the lightning and jumping around would sometimes break all of your attacks unless you reload. Last thing that bugged me about the game was that you can consistently blow one of the last enemies out of the map and softlock yourself if you use the thicc almond boys on it.

hi we have no idea how to make a proper review but. this game's got a super unique art style, probably visible just by looking at the store page. very diverse array of alien species, but we could still relate to their emotions and thought processes [being neurodivergent nonhumans this was appreciated]. also tying into this are the robots that kinda suck at what they do [potentially including the player character, i think]. in terms of gameplay, we did have a bit of difficulty navigating the spacecraft at first but that could just be us being a little slow in spatial reasoning. we appreciated how the game teaches you environmental cues for where to use your tools as you progress. adding on top of that the fact that characters change their locations and activities in response to various events, making the setting feel more alive. uhh running out of things we can think of. we really like the [spoiler] lil cartoon creatures that show up in one of the endings [/spoiler], i hope we get to see those more

Twist your panties because this is the real deal. I've been really hungry for that 90's digital art style where people weren't afraid to experiment, so it felt a bit like meeting destiny to finally play this <3. And that's why you need to get this game right now. And now to the fly in the soup: I felt I was unable to master the player controller. That started giving off this student project vibe, which sucks because I want to grab this game and tell it I love it. The player controller is just painful to use and whenever it does what I want it only manages to give me a sense of relief, rather than allowing me into a state of flow. The jump button is regularly ignored. The movement is sluggish due to a strong inertia and it uses a charge jump which makes it feel unresponsive. So ya, I am a fan of this developer, and I can't wait to see what's next.

I recently nominated this game for the Outstanding Visual Style award for the 2025 Steam Awards. I chose to review this game because not only do I want the badge for the Steam Awards, but I think it also stands as a great example of just how striking this game appears. The game itself is a pretty fun collectathon and it's unintentionally a supreme competitor to games like Toree 3D and Super Kiwi 64 due to it's $8.00 price tag. But unlike those games, this one is much longer and has a VERY original appearance. If you like those weird CGI posters from the 90s, you'll love this game.

As far as I can tell, no other game looks or sounds like it.

Good ending Fragrance Point is effortlessly stylish and interesting. Every level is a party, and all your little tools go off in rhythm. Beautiful rolling, curving, pulsating, glowing, reflective geometry.

Really fun exploration. I like when games throw me into their world and let me figure it out on my own. I also love the characters, they have great personalities. Great visuals too.
