This game is great! And I would recommend everyone to give this game a try. It's fast-paced with precise movement and really difficult! And on top of all that, there's a bunch of content that'll take you a good while to get through. All and all a super solid platformer for everyone to enjoy.
Solid platformer.
Fun game :)
Est-ce que je recommande Hayfever? Oui complètement ! Graphiquement, il est très beau que ce soient les décors, le perso principal ou les ennemis tous donne une super ambiance !! Mais le gameplay est exigeant, un joystick légèrement mal orienté, c'est la fin. Alors chaque réussite est jouissive à souhait. Par contre attention le jeu est loin d’être facile, le pétage de câble est toujours proche ! Et surtout !!! Je n'ai pas constaté de bug ou de ralentissement pour le moment et ça fait plaisir de voir un jeu "fini"... Si je devais résumer ce jeu est un mélange de "céleste" et de "cat bird" mais il rajoute un petit quelque chose qui le rend unique et qui plaira j'en suis sur... PS: vous allez détesté les chats et leurs poils....
[h1]Platformer Mediocrity Par Excellence[/h1] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [h1]Introduction & Premise[/h1] Hayfever is a 2D Platformer developed by Pixadome and published by Silver Lining Interactive. In it you play a fever-stricken mailman, who has accidentally managed to sneeze all of his letters away. The levels consist of you hunting down the itinerant letters with your co-worker, Charlie, before your boss realizes and fires you. The gameplay consists of you using sneeze-empowered jumps, launches and dashes to beat various levels and collect all letters within them. Occasionally you’ll stumble across pollen that infuses your sneezes with even more power, replenishes your sneezes mid-air and/or grants special abilities. [h1]The Myriad Flaws[/h1] The game starts at 10000% volume, even after changing in-game volume, the intro is unaffected. There are games that start at full volume, and they start loud. Then there’s Hayfever. I think I should’ve gotten a partial refund just for the potential hearing damage the first launch of game may have contributed to, as well as the potential damage to the headphones (the sound is actively distorted due to how loud it is). I’ll say this for the milionth time, and I’ll say it till the end of the world: [code]Dear devs, please start all of your games at 1-5% volume on all sliders. It’s healthier to adjust from too quiet to louder than from too loud to quieter. Sincerely, a gamer who is sick and tired of this one constant issue across 95% of games and wants to still hear something by the time they’re 60.[/code] The game suffers from terrible input inconsistencies and input lag. The inconsistencies are especially bad, but are not limited to, the diagonals. The general sound design is bad: sounds are annoying and repetitive (no variations on repetitious and sometimes slightly too long sounds). The original soundtrack ranges from okay to grating. Foreground sprites are amateurish and look like they’re from an entirely different game than the background for some reason. Lastly, the game also enjoys employing plenty of off-screen elements that can only feasibly be reacted to once you know they're there and once the controls decide to play along, leading to plenty cheap deaths [h1]Conclusion[/h1] So now I’m sitting here, having beaten the first 30 levels, bored out of my mind, with a massive headache due to having to endure the menagerie of inconsistencies and mediocrities, as well as the sonic blast of the intro three times, while I tinkered with the audio. [h3]Please don’t support mediocrity like this![/h3]
I think it is an excellent game for its genre. I really love it.
Very pleasant and nice challenge platformer. Think Super Meat Boy, but not gross or mean-spirited. Cute and friendly pixelart and good music. The stages have interesting and varied mechanics. A sadly under-appreciated indie gem.
A finely crafted platformer/allergy simulator with a happy-go-lucky vibe. The main character propels himself around by sneezing, with different types of pollen affecting his movement. This is an inspired, simple mechanic that stays fresh throughout the whole game. Levels vary massively in pacing, ranging from slow and cerebral to high-octane twitch festivals. Unsurprisingly, Hayfever shares a lot in common with Celeste. You die in one hit, and have an 8-way dash as your main means of traversal. Thankfully, this game manages to push the premise further, and overall it feels like a natural evolution rather than a knock-off. There's also some influence from older Nintendo titles (Wario Land, Donkey Kong Country). Graphics are vibrant (although some tiles are arranged in a manner that feels clinical/mechanical) and the upbeat accordion-led music is excellent too. Overall, this is well worth the money if you're looking for an imaginative platformer with a fair amount of challenge. It could do with more exposure too - I only found out about this game because I follow Horheristo on Youtube, and he generally plays good ♥♥♥♥.
I'm not gonna leave a bad review only because I don't think deserves an entire ''DONT BUY IT''. I wish I could give it a 'meh'. The mechanic is nothing new but it's something you don't see many games using and the ways the game explore this single mechanic are actually really good but some of the level design and OMG specially the first and only boss that I fought (the cloud) is TERRIBLE. The lasers are not telegraphed so you don't know when they'll start nor end and the way you need to hit the boss is not obvious at all, actually I did it by accident which is that you have make the big electric ball bounce on the walls so it'll go back to him and hit him. The problem is that most of the times I was on the bottom so the lightning ball would just disappear or I'd be close to the ceiling and it would not bounce back to the boss. Also, the small electric balls don't do anything against it so why does the big one does? But even if this was solved, the boss itself has the worst design type of all video game bosses: WAITING. You have to wait until you can hit them, and that's the most boring and annoying type of boss ever. I'd prefer an enemy that can hit fast but I can also hit them instead of just waiting for whenever they feel like they wanna get hit. Anyway, like I said, the game is not bad by any means, but it's also not great and not even good. Just meh
