Gem Venture

Absolute horrible keyboard controls. Even when you rebind it, it feels really wrong. (can't wall jump with the normal jump button..?) It looks and sounds like a really fun game, too bad they didn't focus on controls and make it playable for people withhout a controller. No achievements? Even if you send people to harass me, i'm not changing the review. lol Also looks like Vibrant Venture. Play that game instead.

At the moment, unfortunately, the game. Has a bug with saves. If you don’t save and leave the game then your save will be broken and play from the beginning. The game is good but it has bugs that need to be fixed

the game crashes when I'm trying to sleep. then the save file corrupts.

I just finished World 1, and my impressions are very good. It’s a really cute platformer with a surprising number of movement mechanics; imagine “Super Mario World,” but you can also sprint, wall-jump, and dive-jump. It's quite an ambitious undertaking for a 2D platformer, but it works really well. The pixel art is also really cute and has a very “crisp” look; I’d eat this game up just for the art style alone. A really cool game.

I feel like I got my money's worth. :)

This isn't the most indepth review because I haven't finished the game. But I do want to say one thing. As a massive fan of Super Paper Mario, this game gives the same vibe in a way no other game has before. Sure, it doesn't have the same story and 2D-3D gameplay, but the vibe feels the same. It's not to explain, but it just feels the same. All I hope now is that the rest of the game lives up.

Great pixel platformer and a cool story!

A pretty fun little 2d platformer. It looks very nice and the music is great. The level design is fantastic! Moving through the levels and finding all the secrets and cards was so fun. It took me a bit to get the timing down on the midair tricks (it seems you have to press Jump like [i]right after[/i] you bounce off an enemy), but when I got the hang of it, it became extremely satisfying to try to jump on as many enemies in a row as I could. Very fun! The level up system was pretty neat too. You can really feel the Super Paper Mario influence in this game. Especially with the story... this game's story is very similar to Super Paper Mario's story... maybe TOO similar, honestly. That's probably my one gripe with this game, I would've liked to see something more unique. But, like I said, everything else in this game is phenomenal, and it's very inspiring that this was made by one person, with another doing the music. Highly recommended!

I love a good old fashion platformer. This game has cool moves, hidden treasures and cards. I haven't finished yet, but getting close. I guess it could be a little more difficult, but besides that I like what I see.

A very cool mix of mario 3, yoshi island, super paper mario (wich im a big fan of) and the mobility of metroid and megaman (and a tiny bit of amy gameplay in sonic adventure with the pickaxe), mixed up with its own twist. Pretty damn rad, if you ask me. Buy it now and have fun, super raccomanded.
