Hop N' Swap

[h1]能力の異なるキャラを切り替えて進む横スクロールアクション[/h1] ダブルジャンプだとか、壁ジャンプだとか、ホバーだとか、そういうのを切り替えて進む横スクロールアクション。ただし、格能力はキャラ毎に設定されているので、キャラを切り替えないと使えない。騎士はダブルジャンプ、シーフは壁登り、魔法使いはフロート。 4ステージぐらいまではチュートリアルな感じで、そこから本番が始まる。1キャラで能力アンロックならまだしも、キャラ切り替えが必要なのでアクションゲームが得意な人でもまごつくこと請け合い。 [h3]気になるところ[/h3] ・キャラ切り替え。 ・文字。 どうしたってゲームの肝であるキャラ切り替えがストレスの要因。ある程度はやれるものの、ジャンプ中に切り替えてスキル使って切り替えてというのが途中から必須になってくる。それぐらいなら慣れの問題だが、ブロックが出てきてからはちょっとキツイ。せめてJKLならまだしもKRMという職業になっているのがキツイ。分かりづらい。 ワンチャンコントローラーでくっついてればまだしもそういうわけでもなく、このキャラ切り替えが単純に難易度を上げている。それが良いのかどうなのかはわからないが、とりあえずいい感じの操作をすると進めるという点ではアクションゲームとしてよいのだと思う。ただ、パズル要素がなぁ…

Fun and challenging platformer. Simple, yet smooth game play with attention to mechanics and movement. 10/10 would recommend to anyone wanting to sink in a few hours into an engaging platformer.

This is a poorly designed precision platformer that is more concerned with annoying the player than making engaging platforming sections. It incorporates ancient game design where the objective is to prolong the game by killing the player with every single minor mistake. There are some core concepts here that are interesting, but too often the game is more concerned about your jump being off by one pixel rather than creating a sequences of timed jumps that feels nice to land. Most deaths have little to do with the player being able to figure out the jump they are doing, but rather the issue of how precise you were; if you are off by even one pixel, you're dead. Furthermore the graphics are extremely basic, and the game would have been improved by just adding abilities to your character rather have forcing the player to constantly swap between characters.

"Hop N' Swap" is a badly made 2D retro pixel platformer, yes, one of literally thousands of these infesting Steam and slightly lowering the average quality of all video games just by existing. This clunky, badly polished platformer has you swapping between characters, like Blizzard did with their Lost Vikings platformer, although this is worse in all respects. This features really godawful pixelcrap "art" instead of real graphics. It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to do the job of creating 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter. What matters is that this looks much worse than most other games because of that decision, and that's a major deterrent to gamers. Games like Terraria and Stardew Valley succeeded [i]despite[/i] the bad graphics, not because of them. Not every "free" game really is. There's often MTX, or content locked behind DLC, or donations being requested, or any other number of things that could mislead gamers, but in this case I'm glad to say this really does appear to be a fully free game. Nothing demonstrates a developers belief in themselves and their work than giving it away without any remuneration. This is a service to themselves, and the gaming industry, and should be applauded. Of course, just because something is free, doesn't necessarily mean it's valuable. Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 4 concurrent players... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? Not this time. This isn't worth downloading. While this won't cost you any money, you get what you pay for, and sometimes, even when the game is free, it's still not enough.

Worst game ever made The movement is horrible and feels like a game from the 1960s, 0 blobs/running 2

Fun platformer that really rewards learning the mechanics and getting comfortable switching back and forth between characters. Definitely not an easy game but one that's extremely satisfying to learn and beat. I especially like the funny dog secret in level 3. Great Game!
