KRUNCH

I originally recommended this game, but after the achievements not working, and then seeing the disgusting way the dev was treating their fans in the community discussion boards, I've decided I want nothing to do with this game or company. http://steamcommunity.com/app/280500/discussions/0/558750985883896525/#p2 Note that link will not work because the devs deleted the entire thread and banned me from the forums in the process, just for saying they were being rude. Thanks for proving me right.

Honestly, Its not a hardcore game, it does not live up to the name of super meat boy, its a fun game to a point, but the floaty controls, without the precision i expect from a intense game, I want to be able to blame myself for dying, not bouncing off a wall or making that one pixel game in a time limit when I just float by it and bounce off the wall dying, fun game, but overall not what I expected

Let me start by saying I'm old by steam standards. I remember drooling over pong, Zork and coding my own games in from magazines ... yep for those of you under 40 this was how we got games. I don't have twitch speed and I need controls to be accurate. Keep that in mind with my review. Pro: Short Adequate graphics Tons of levels Soundtrack Cards Cons: Controls are ... not accurate to a point of rage quit Debate on if achieves are working After 30 min it's boring, unless this is really your type of game Price Other: OK there has been some comparisons to super meat boy. I think that's not fair. SMB is a great example of the genre. This is, if the controls get fixed, an adequate example at best (sucks with the current controls). if your looking for SMB, go play that. If you want to try a game in that genre, with control issues, grab this one (on sale) Overall: 6/10 (+2 soundtrack, -1 price, -3 controls) = 4/10 Get this game at 75% if you have super twitch speed, 90% off if your a normal human, 100% off if your old like me.

Short, but really fun and addictive. This game took me little over an hour of gameplay to complete, but it was really fun and challenging while it lasted. There were moments when I thought I'd never get past the area I was stuck on, but it had that sort of 'hard but not impossible' feel about the game. The soundtrack was a real nice addition as well and sounded reminiscent of the 16-Bit days. There's no telling how long the game will take you to complete, but there were certainly some challenging aspects of the game. In the right hands it could occupy a lot of your time, but either way I'd recommend it as a fun and addictive time passer.

说实话我个人并不喜欢这款游戏，但既然一不小心通关了还是写篇评测给不明真相的群众吧 Krunch算是一款像素风2D生存竞速类游戏，所谓生存竞速是指在多数关卡都有东西追赶玩家（通常是一堵墙，有时是一个Boss），必须尽可能快速前进才能存活，不收成就的话一周目大约也就2两小时左右游戏时长，当然根据手残程度耗时会有所增减，大触们也许一小时就够了 玩家控制一个长眼睛的球状机械，用方向键或者WASD来移动，空格可以加速，但会耗费血条，幸亏单个场景不长，过Checkpoint到了下一个场景后血条会回满。事实上多数情况下根本不用吝惜血条，因为游戏中充满了各种即死障碍或者高伤火焰陷阱，经常会突然死亡，真正因为逐渐扣血而死的情况并不多，放心加速吧 游戏的难度很高，即便是对于不想收集成就或者冲天梯的休闲玩家也不简单，一部分是因为并不好操控，有着微妙的惯性系统，如果使用加速的话惯性就会很大，又要回避障碍又要预判提前量来转弯，我反正感到各种困难经常撞到东西……另一个原因是游戏整体的容错率太低，即死陷阱很多，普通障碍（锯齿）撞上以后除了少量掉血以外还会反弹运动轨迹，通常会浪费大量时间，加上还各种普通障碍+即死障碍的组合，经常触碰到普通障碍后一个反弹就撞到即死障碍上了；另外常见的时机类障碍都是即死，对时机把握的要求也大都很严格，连续遇上时我会死到想摔键盘 如果要收集成就或者冲天梯的话那就更加困难了，需要要尽可能收集场景中的小球（通常意味着绕路，对时间的要求会更高，基本需要全程加速+不触障碍），同时必须减少死亡次数，因为大关评分都是按照总耗时来算的，大触们可以努力挑战一下，我手残直接放弃了…… 也许用手柄操控会舒服不少，键盘只能往8个方向移动，真的很让人不爽 游戏几乎没有剧情，画面也非常复古，每大关基本只有一个色调，流程又短，不管怎么看这价格都标高了，我觉得最多也就值5刀，而且仅推荐给喜欢复古画面的抖M玩家

horrible, frustrating, repetitive, irritating, and overall just a painful exercise in tedium. did you love all those oldschool platform games on your console with the boss fights and then the scene where you had to run to escape the exploding level as fast as you could dodging falling walls and crushing traps before your character died? how about an entire game where all you do is rush through the level racing against time as walls close in and gears and spikes get in your way? yeah.. it's like someone decided to make a whole game out of 1 single aspect of platform games. avoid if you have any interest in storylines or interesting gameplay mechanics.

Fun game, but can be really frustrating, so best played in short bursts. The SURVIVED (i.e. You Win) screen tells me I played for 114 minutes and died 433 times, but it honestly felt a lot longer than that. This is one of those twitch/punishment platformers, though it's not exactly a platformer since you control a floating ball that can move about freely without worrying about gravity. The goal is to make your way to the end of each of the levels without dying. There are no checkpoints, and but the levels is pretty short. Unlike other twitch platformers, you have a healthbar and most hazards will not kill you in one hit - being squished between moving walls/ is the common exception. Your health also decreases over time, so it serves as an implicit time limit even in the relatively few levels which don't have a huge moving wall (or Boss) chasing you. Boosting (i.e. "running") makes the health decrease much faster, so it's best used only when needed. Each level has collectible "krebs", and getting all of these greatly increases the challenge, but they are only useful for high scores and achievements. After the first few levels, I stopped even trying collecting them all and focused instead on just surviving. The game is HARD, and controls take a lot of getting used to. The keyboard offers the most precise controls, but unfortunately a bug keeps you from being able to boost (speed up) while moving diagonally up-left, which makes a few levels impossible. So yeah, that's definitely a minus. But the rest of the game makes up for it in my opinion. The gameplay, though frustrating, is still fun, I found the retro graphics quite nice, and the soundtrack is great. After finishing it, I spent some time going back to a few levels to unlock some achievements, and see myself coming back over time to unlock more.

Controls are too imprecise for a game that needs perfectly tight controls. Also the pinball effect when hitting an obstacle means you almost always die if you hit anything.

It's KRUNCH time

I don't understand why this game has so many negative reviews... This game is great! The artstyle is great, the levels are great, the music is great and it playes very well! I have abolutely no issues with the controls.
