Jump the Track

Most people don’t know this about me, but I’m a big Peggle fan. I’ve honestly spent way too many hours on it for such a simple game. But I always enjoy it, especially Peggle 2. This time I played Jump the Track. Think of it as Peggle mixed with visual novel elements. It has a storyline and you can make choices that impact the game. This game is developed and published by Seed by Seed. [b]Story and Humor[/b] You play as Sam. The game describes him as a young dreamer struggling in the gig economy. But that might be about to change. The game includes comedy, slightly satirical, which I really enjoy. It’s not laugh-out-loud funny, but I definitely caught myself laughing out loud with a weird noise here and there. I also have to admit the story has surprising depth. It focuses on themes like power and corruption. [b]Peggle Mechanics and Choices[/b] The Peggle element lets you unlock different choices in the story. You can react differently or take alternate actions. Think lying or being diplomatic. How cool is that? I think it’s incredibly creative. And even if you’re not a hardcore Peggle player, the story still moves forward without needing to restart. Just like in Peggle, you also get power moves. For example, you might get extra balls for your next shot. [b]Style and Atmosphere[/b] The art style is fun and instantly impactful. Combined with the music, it feels like a comic book brought to life, with a great story on top of that. I get that the Peggle part can feel a bit repetitive at times. But just challenge yourself more and try to complete a level with fewer balls. The dialogue is pretty snappy, so it doesn’t get boring quickly. [b]Final Thoughts[/b] I really enjoyed this game, and it honestly bums me out that I haven’t seen it mentioned anywhere. I only found out about it because I randomly got an email asking if I wanted to check it out. If I hadn’t opened that email, I probably never would have come across Jump the Track at all. What I love most is how different it feels. The mix between Peggle mechanics and a branching narrative is just super creative. It’s funny, it’s weird in a good way, and it actually has something to say. Sure, it’s only about three hours long. But that’s honestly my only complaint, and that’s just because I didn’t want it to end.

Pachinko - breakout - VN hybrid, break blocks to choose your own adventure type setup. The pacing and branching are kinda all over the place but the style and novelty are enough to carry it for the 2 or so hours an individual run takes to complete.

[h1]Peggle for the revolution[/h1] I found this one on Steam's indie game event, where it mixes comic-style visual novel with Peggle gameplay where the results help unlock your path choices throughout the story. The story follows Sam, a young man in a dystopic society trying to right a fatal mistake he made to get out of trouble with his billionaire boss. He'll deal with familiar faces and peculiar strangers by coming up with different solutions that is decided by the gameplay performance. The Peggle puzzles attempt to reflect the situations around action and dialogue thinking, so there's some fair variation on the challenges here. I don't click much with visual novels, so something had to be implemented to keep the story engaging. It's a bit hard coming back to the game when the flow leaves more to desire but at least the cast is distinguishing. Even the writing covers a few thought-provoking topics including social revolution, capitalism and solidarity. This indie game sticks out on combining two core gameplays to engage the player, for sure! For the sake of the engaging gameplay, I hope the devs get the dynamics more polished, in case of a possible sequel.

i mean i loved this game from the title screen but having the wherewithal to ask a player, "is there a BAD reason to join a revolution?" is what REALLY made me love this game.

Si ce n'était qu'un jeu de pachinko, il serait assez médiocre ; si ce n'était qu'un visual novel, il ne serait pas incroyable... Alors, pourquoi une évaluation positive ? Parce que la combinaison des deux fonctionne à merveille. Les jeux de pachinko permettent d'accomplir des actions avec plus ou moins de succès, d'ouvrir certains choix de dialogue. ça donne un côté "action" au visual novel, beaucoup plus de dynamisme que ce à quoi on est habitués. Quant à l'histoire, elle est sympathique, on sent le vécu de banlieue populaire ; sans pour autant que ça casse trois pattes à un canard, ça se suit bien.

Un bon petit jeu avec une histoire passionnante. Les personnages sont colorés et intéressants, l'écriture ne manque pas d'humour, tout en abordant des thèmes importants. Le gameplay de pachinko est un peu trop simple à mon goût et peu diversifié, mais cela reste plaisant de faire une petite game entre deux phases de l'histoire. La DA est très belle, notamment le character design qui est particulièrement cool. Je recommande donc Jump the Track pour quiconque voudra vivre une belle aventure de révolution !

Est-ce que c'est un jeu de pachinko avec une super histoire autour Ou est-ce que c'est un visual novel avec des cool sessions de pachinko dedans? C'est pas clair En tout cas j'ai passé un super moment

It's Peggle with a story. The level design is pretty good, having to hit all pegs of a certain kind to unlock dialogue options provides a nice little challenge. The power-ups are varied and mostly have their uses, though you are likely to find one you like and stick to that for most of the game. The story is messy, but fun. You're a down-on-his-luck guy with a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ job looking to make it big in a lottery contest. From there things escalate to police chases, robots desiring sentience and maybe a dive into a large body of water with some heavy shoes. It's fun.

this ish rocked

Histoire vraiment très sympa à suivre et assez ludique, jeu prenant dans lequel on se laisse porter assez facilement. On peut le finir en une soiree comme le finir sur plusieurs jours petit à petit et chapitre par chapitre
