Hayfever

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 ♥♥♥♥.

没人玩是有原因的，我是被免费骗进来杀的，作为一款平台跳跃游戏这是我玩过最恶心的那几款之一，畜生一样的线路设计将容错率降到了最低，要打出非常苛刻的操作才能获得信封，到了25关之后甚至连过关都变得极为困难，红色跳跃平台带来了极强的跳跃性能但与此同时其零帧触发的糟粕使得玩家必须以预输入的方式来应对，但大规模的此设计往往与带刺的狭窄的蜿蜒的通道一同出现，带给玩家的体验是灾难性的，但凡学习ori触发时加上时缓和方向箭头体验都会好很多

Met the guy who made it when i was younger and got to try it, remembered it yesterday, bought it, amazing.

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

首先感谢奸商组和制作者给予了我这次评测《Hayfever》的机会，其次我给予它一个8分的评价。 [h1]总体上来看[/h1] 这是一款富有想象力和创意的游戏，对玩家的操作能力要求较高，需要较强的反应速度和背板能力。考虑到游戏的反应机制问题，个人建议玩家使用手柄进行游戏，使用键鼠游戏时鼠标的反应速度远不如摁键来的利索。玩家需要在游戏中克服多种特殊地形带来的困难，巧妙利用过敏源，过敏槽和蓄力喷嚏来调整移动力度 ，用左摇杆调整移动方向方向，同时想办法越过阻碍着的干扰，躲避boss的花式攻击。本作能够带给平板跳跃过关玩家较强的成就感，对普通玩家可能难度较高，只建议有自信的平板跳跃爱好者购买。 [h1]故事剧情[/h1] 玩家在本作中扮演一名对各种物资过敏的快递员先生，为了收集齐自己的信件，不顾各种困难和障碍，努力奔跑寻找自己的信件并将其带回快递车里——巧妙的运用各类过敏原，谨慎的积攒自己的过敏槽，极快速的调整你的移动方向和跳跃，同时努力在一次通关的过程中收集齐关卡内的信件，争取解锁一些隐藏的关卡，更好的完成快递运输任务。 [h1]值得购买的优点[/h1] 1、内容丰富，关卡众多，本作足有140公开关，另外还有额外的隐藏关可供挑战——具体隐藏关数量请看游戏成就数量，每找到一个就能解锁一个。 2、富有挑战性的游戏内容可以带来的娱乐感和成就感，无论是开黑还是和朋友相互斗秀亦或者网络直播，这么富有挑战的优秀内容会使得整个游戏有极强的娱乐感和成就感。 3、挑战自我的玩家可以尽情的尝试自我挑战，本作能够给他们带来极强的成就感和满足感。 [h1]一些对购买者的建议[/h1] 1、先通关，不要好高骛远，在通关过程中熟悉本关的难点进行初次背板，关卡内有小鸡复活点，只要不断尝试肯定是能够在练习过后成功通关的。 2、通关之后不要着急回去收集齐全快递，再跑几次，熟练操作的同时寻找可能的隐藏路线与信件所在区域，同时确认快递车上一共有个空位，是否还有自己未发现的快递信件正在隐藏之中。 3、不要偏执于一次就顺利收集齐全信件，多尝试几次，本游戏没有死亡次数限制和时间限制，反正有复活点，慢慢磨没问题的。 4、通关本作要做到的第一个点是对蓄力槽的控制，蓄力槽满了会强制释放，蓄力槽有些时候并不是阻力而是障碍，释放蓄力与积攒蓄力同样重要。 5、通关本作要做到的第二个点是背板，通过背板你才能了解接下来的路线如何组成，只有背板之后你才能在极快的移动之中预判接下来会发生什么，每一个难点都需要很久的磨炼和忍耐。 6、通关本作要做到的第三个是快速的反应速度，本作中很多点设计的反应时限都很短，如果操纵速度不够快，那么你很有可能会错过那些转折点和位置巧妙的信件，必须要反应速度快才能来得及进行操作。 7、本作中不同过敏原的操作效果各有不同，黄花粉可以打强力喷嚏，紫花粉可以喷水飞行，箭头可以强力加速和转向，花生可以让人加速和滴油飞檐走壁，有些时候你还能弄到一些别的花样，不过那都是相对后期的事情了。 8、本作的boss关卡难度相对较高，因此个人建议是你尽可能背板记住boss的技能，然后通过不断的战斗来磨炼自己的技艺进行突破。 [h1]综上所述[/h1] 在本作中玩家将扮演一名对各种过敏源过敏的快递员，巧妙的利用自身的过敏反应手机齐自己遗失的快递，一路上玩家会遇到各种障碍物与干扰，但是只要能够精确的判断蓄力槽，熟练的背板和快速的操作，那么本作优秀的游戏性和丰富的游戏内容将给你带来极强的挑战感和成就感。推荐横版跳跃爱好者购买，普通玩家谨慎入手。 [code]欢迎参观我的： [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/33626600]奸商评测[/url] 喜欢这篇评论，可顺手点个赞，让更多人方便看到。[/code]

Quick Description: -Hayfever is an adorable but tough as nails precision platformer. You play as a cute mailman that sneezes his way around extremely challenging platforming gauntlets. There's a ton of charm here, although it's quite rough around the edges. What's Good: -This looks like a very casual, cute platformer, but it is much more challenging than what you would expect. I think this is probably it's greatest strength. You will challenged pretty quickly, especially after the first set of 30 levels. I'd say that Hayfever is far tougher than the average game in this genre, although everything is manageable w/ enough practice. -There is a good amount of content here. There are 4 worlds and 140+ levels. I only completed about 2/3 of the game and didn't collect all of the optional pieces of mail. Collecting all the mail offers the greatest challenge in the game. You will probably need to put in at least 10-15 hrs in order to finish up everything. -I'm a sucker for pixel art and Hayfever has solid pixel art. Each set of levels has a different theme and focuses on different colors and textures. All of the characters involved in the story are all adorable and have very detailed pixel art as well. -Each world has a final boss which will be quite a challenge. Some bosses are complex chase scenes while others are standard boss battles where you'll need to memorize their movement patterns. The bosses are well designed and offer a fun challenge. Could Use Some Changes: -I noticed that the dash button felt a bit inconsistent. dashing while moving on the ground works like a charm. However, whenever you jump and dash at the same time, the dash button felt far less reliable. I always felt that I had to really hold down the direction and dash button really hard. Trying to quickly change directions is not as smooth as I would like. -It's quite rough around the edges. Some levels have some very oddly placed spikes or barriers that are simply there to block you from exiting the platforming sections. Other areas can be hard to even tell visually what the game is asking for within the platforming sections. This didn't happen all the time, but it happened periodically. -I found the gamplay to be slightly repetitive as the major mechanic of sneezing doesn't really evolve. Yes, there are plenty of environmental hazards and fun mechanics introduced, but nothing really groundbreaking or truly innovative. 30 levels per world felt a bit too much. I would have loved an additional world and 20-25 levels per world max. Thoughts: -Hayfever is a fun, challenging, and charming precision platformer that will offer quite the test for even the most seasoned player. There are better games in the genre, but I still think this is very much worth recommending. If you are a fan of the genre, snag this bad boy on a sale and test yourself w/ some hardcore platforming sections. Consensus: -Middle of the Road Game (Tier 4 and makes up 25% of my reviews). I had a good time during my 4-5 hrs playing Hayfever. It didn't rock my world in the way that better games in the genre have, but it was still a really fun experience overall. If you are looking for a nice gem in the rough, snag it right now during the Winter Sale for less than $5 and have a great time.

Hayfever's controls are absolutely abysmal, it's a struggle just moving in the desired direction - and that's if you can even get the game to recognize your inputs, I lost track of how many times I died simply because my character didn't jump when I commanded him to jump. This would be bad enough for most titles but it's an absolute dealbreaker for a precision platformer, I'm genuinely stunned that the game was released with controls this downright terrible. Strong recommendation to avoid.

THIs is a great platformer my faavourite free game on steam at the moment
