KilaFlow

i like Kila a normal amount

I love this gender ambiguous little guy

I'm so totally normal about this game.

poggers game for poggers gamers

The game's super fun, I love it! It's visual style and soundtrack are great, very remaniscent of frutiger aero, vaporwave, and a lot of of both modern and old internet media. The movement is a bit complicated, but it's easy to understand, specially with the tutorials they give you. I actually have to give praise to the tutorials, because even if there's a lot of them, I never felt like they were unnecessary, they not only help explain new world mechanics, but also if the game sees that ur struggling to get the hang of things, it gives you more hints to help. That being said, the game isnt perfect. No matter if i played fullscreen, windowed, with all of my things closed except the game, it always had inconsistent FPS. Especially in the first world theres low FPS. I'm assuming its because the game isnt well optimized, but it could also just be my computer not liking godot very much. During gameplay, the camera is always fixed; you cant move it, and theres some sections in levels where it's in uncomfortable spots, making you do blind jumps on certain parts. The teleporters are instant, which I don't like because not only do they sometimes send you to narnia where you have no idea whats next, but also all teleporters look the same and sometimes levels spam them so idk where i will end up. And lastly, the gravity reversers, oh my god i hated them. The changes in gravity are indicated by arrows pointing up and down, but theres never like a box indicating you where the gravity switches exactly, because sometimes its beside the arrows and sometimes its behind them. And I think this is more of a skill issue but I could NOT for the life of me get adjusted to the controls while upside down. As a last positive note, the game's story is not the GRANDEST MOST REVOLUTIONARY LORE, it mostly takes a secondary spot, but i still think it was super sweet. Genuinely felt things at the end because of it, and also, I LOVE KILA!!!!!! They are going on my favorite character list for sure. Again, big reccomend, the game has some flaws but its still hella fun, I'd say it's a 7/10 or an 8/10, hidden gem for sure!

W gameplay

Welcome back my beloved "500+ Deaths/Retries in a Deathwish Level of A Hat in Time" experience (Full Combo, Efficient, Antivirus bonus,,,,) I want to Kila 🐟 (sorry)

Good if you want to scratch that early 2000s platformer itch

Genuinely one of the best games I've played in a while. Characters became brain worms. Gameplay was fun. Story was great. Community is lovely. Best way I can describe the gameplay is Neon White meets Sonic Frontiers (but like. the good parts of it. also the bad parts but if they were actually good.)

Now, I am not much of a reviewer and there is a lot already said here about this game so I'm just going to say my own thoughts with this game, well written or not. I think KilaFlow is a great and charming fun game and I enjoy it and I'll keep coming back to it. It's a good platformer with fun worlds and bosses and a nice little story. It can be played in whatever way you want to do the levels, want to go as fast as possible? Great! Want to just get to the end? That's good too! Or just avoid every enemy? Sure, you can do that! All the bosses are different from each other being a theme or reference to some internet culture or reference which is fun, the bosses in this game are all different having a unique way of facing them or damaging them. And I did enjoy most of the boss fights aside from maybe 1 or 2. I'll get rid of the elephant in the room the way the game controls can be a bit jarring to get used to. To give an example you have a dash you can charge to go a bit faster but when you use it it kills a lot of your speed when you use it so you can't use it constantly or you'll just be going slower. And there is some jank with interactions with the environments and enemies which can lead to deaths sometimes. At the same time, the game has it's own ways of playing it and controls that feel satisfying after you understand how they work and the later levels play into that testing you that you know how to use the movement the game has been showing you and I love that! And it doesn't feel forced it feels natural, from my experience. Besides that I really enjoyed my time playing the game and I'm satisfied with it! It is a fun indie platformer with early internet mixed with some modern humor and I don't have much more to say but I think other people should play this if you like level based platformers with cute characters.
