Keali

A challenging but fair platformer that will force you to master the tools at your disposal. Very rewarding and fun level design. The tether mechanic and the wall jump take some getting used to, but add some unique flavor to the game once it "clicks".

A classic platformer with interesting mechanics and unique level design resulting in a fun and entertaining gameplay experience. The tether mechanic is well done and fun to play with, and levels are challenging but not frustrating.

This is a game made by people who are honing their craft, and their passion shows. The mechanics are frenetic, the level design goes from brain melting to freewheeling to breakneck, and the tree guy is a huge sassy ♥♥♥♥♥. 5 Stars.

I could have easily overlooked Kaeli in the myriad of games, but am glad I didn't. The tether option makes it different than most platforms, Challenging yet fun. I like that a level can be solved more than one way, continuously adds unique challenges, puzzles and dangers throughout Lots of play time. I would definitely recommend you give it a try.

I enjoyed my short time with this game. I am not usually a platformer-type gamer, but this one had enough unique mechanics to keep it more interesting than just running and jumping. Starting out, I took me a tiny bit to get used to the control scheme. They're not bad or unfamiliar, but I did not realize I could change the keybinds until I was nearly 45 minutes in (I kept clicking on the leaf with the key instead of the leaf stating the action). Changing my tether to my mouse helped me get farther, but I think that is because of my FPS-goober brain. The music was good enough for the duration I played, but I hope more tracks come with future updates! The audio options are more robust than I thought they would be by having multiple sliders for master, music, hostiles, game. Graphics are good and the aesthetics are cool. I dig the different environments and having the objectives fit/change with the setting is a nice touch. The menu feels like a 'ye olde' flash game and I hope to see it evolve. That being said, I don't exactly know if that is the style, but the text is affected by this, so it could be difficult for some to read certain prompts or story beats. Overall, the game will improve in time and more will be added, but it gave me a good first impression. I'll have to get this installed on my Steam Deck and see how well it works on the go!

For those of you that miss those old platforming flash games look no farther. While the game is in Early access the only thing early access about it is the art. The platforming is fun and engaging and the story slowly unfolds while you adventure! The levels vary in difficulty, but I haven't felt any rage or unfairness in the game. Perfect to speed run or relax with!

I am thumbs downing the game because I don't recommend it...but it is free, so you aren't losing anything by trying it. I can see a lot of very good things so far in the design and style. But there are two issues I have with the game...and they are major issues. In fact, being a precision platformer....these not hitting become a death sentence. The first is jumping. Something about the angle or the trajectory doesn't feel correct. It is like a curved dash rather than a jump....if that makes sense. The other is the tethering. I love the idea. But, like Final Fantasy VIII, somethings are better on paper than in practice. Maybe a bit of it is me, but I just can't wrap my head around the circle to show the distance of tethering. Its weird, because it should be the opposite. It should help tell me my range...but it just spends more time messing me up. It makes the jump to the tether more confusing to me. There is a third issue, but it isn't major: The sprinting is just out of control fast. But again, this could be all just me....something i can't wrap my head around. It may be different for you. And with the game free...might as well give it a go. If you enjoy it, then that is a good deal.
