Haste

I can't recommend this game even on sale. If you like a decent endgame with lots of replay value this game isn't for you. The first and only 10 fragments, or traditional levels in the game are procedurally generated, which I found to be fine. They are relatively easy and you can beat the game in probably 10 hours. Once you hit endgame however, you unlock disaster levels which is the basically the only way to play the game at a harder difficulty than normal other than endless mode. The visual clutter and screen shake that comes with the obstacle spam in this mode is absolutely god awful, and there is no camera shake setting anywhere I can find. Every time an obstacle spawns, there is some visual clutter ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and your screen will tweak out. It's frankly just annoying and obnoxious to play after a while and I promise you will get sick of it. I play games like Overwatch where visual clutter is notoriously bad but this game is at least twice as bad with no settings to compensate for it. Save 10$ and buy risk of rain 2. TLDR: cancer visual clutter, bad endgame

+The fundamental controls & gameplay design feel really slick and fun in the moment. Managing to chain a ton of Perfects through difficult terrain is a huge joy. +Going FAST AF once you collect a handful of items is really freakin' fun. +High BPM electro score. -Can't help but conclude that randomly generated levels & roguelite progression are not the best fit for these mechanics. Would like to see a version of this with bespoke levels & more intentional pathing design -Collectibles you need to buy upgrades are often (randomly) placed such that it's impossible to get them and a good landing simultaneously, which is unintuitive. Compare unfavorably with Sonic rings & other similar platformers where the collectibles naturally flow with the level design. -Some random paths & obstructions feel unfairly positioned by pure chance. -Meta upgrade exp generates way too slow compared to the cost of upgrades & length of the campaign. You essentially need to complete each level many many times over to afford upgrades, which feels like padding. Much of the game design seems built around repetition & highscore chasing, which isn't my cup o tea. -Character design is, subjectively, definitely not for me. -The writing is also very tumblr-coded which, again, doesn't land for me. -Default difficulty feels way over-tuned. Particularly for bosses which are mostly un-fun diversions from the core loop. The only boss I consistently enjoyed was The Convoy. The Jumper, in particular, is a miserable experience. -Tutorial needs a lot of work. Basics such as how to consistently land a Perfect, which is absolutely required to make any progress past the first level, don't receive nearly enough guidance. Resorted to watching a youtube video (which helped a lot). -The plot is not nearly as complex as it thinks it is, which manifests in constantly restating & overexplaining developments many times. Dialogue is very repetitive, full of lazy telling exposition. So little of the themes and narrative are expressed via gameplay. From a game design perspective, interrupting the fast fun flow of the gameplay with these slideshow, trite, and repetitive dialogue sessions doesn't mesh. Internal fight between momentum of gameplay and glacial whining of story. On balance, would not recommend the game despite the satisfying core mechanics

大量的闪退，还是在打完BOSS给我闪退，5次了
