Lantern Bearer

Very good and challenging. Note: There's a bug that makes the game unplayable if the darkness setting is lowered to the minimum.

This game wants to imitate what made Super Meat Boy and I Wanna Be The Guy good games but ends up failing at both. The most important aspect, the controls don't feel right. The momentum you gain or lose from your double jump either boosts you suddenly or stops you abruptly, depending on how much you're moving as you do it. The level design is irritating and tedious most of the time. The first 6-7 levels of each world introduce gimmicks and the last few levels are always a) unnecessarily long and b) full of cheap trial and error type sections. The game also has alot of slowdowns and sudden lag, making the precision parts that much more annoying to do. When people talk about "indie trash platformers", they're talking about games like this. IWBTG games are free and Super Meat Boy is cheap, I'd recommend to get those instead.

Really fun, solid difficulty platformer.

Very fun game if you like Super Meat Boy (fast-paced walljump platformer, particularly recommended if you liked the doublejump characters in that game). Game's pretty hard so I only recommend it if you have notable experience in similar games. Very very fun imo. Great visuals and music btw. Definitely replaying this bad boy at some point. Btw the difficulty curve is starting topleft (jungle) in the hub and going clockwise and ending with bottomleft (fire).

Lantern Bearer n'est clairement pas pour tout le monde. C'est un jeu très inspiré par Super Meat Boy, mais qui contrairement à lui ne prend pas le temps de passer par des niveaux tutoriels. Le jeu est donc plutôt reservé aux amateurs du genre ayant joué à d'autres platformers difficiles auparavant. Si vous faites partie de l'audience cherchée, par contre, le jeu est un plaisir à jouer! Le level design se renouvelle assez rapidement, notre personnage est facile à prendre en main, et c'est dur, mais c'est exactement ce que le jeu cherche! La direction artistique n'est clairement pas mise de côté non plus; je ne m'attendais certainement pas à voir du pixel art aussi beau sur un jeu avec aussi peu d'évaluations Steam. Le jeu possède tout de même quelques défauts, notamment des hitboxes un peu trop grosses, ce qui fait que certaines morts peuvent donner l'impression d'être injustes, ainsi que des problèmes d'optimisation causant des lags occasionnels. Bref, une expérience courte mais très plaisante pour ceux déjà habitués à Super Meat Boy et autres. Attendez peut-être une réduction pour l'acheter par contre :P

This precision platformer is well worth the price for the amount of time you will spend with it.The 5 different zones can be played in any order, and while you will learn some of the games mechanics from them, the zones have unique designs which correlate directly into the gameplay mechanics of that zone. So as you play through each zone, you get better at dealing with the challenges that the levels in that zone throw at you. Ultimately these zones culminate in their own unique final levels, taking all the mechanics from the levels previous to them, as a final test of skill.While quite difficult, I was more willing to throw myself back into the challenge of the game. I noticed with every death I was getting better at the level I was on, and upon eventually completing one of the harder levels feels almost like a speedrun in terms of how you feel after completion.The game's art does a good job at being distinct enough that you can tell how everything in the environments work in relation to your cute bear at first glance. The pixel art is a good fit and the animations all feel smooth to the overall game feel.Lastly, the music is also very good. While there are few unique tracks in the game, they never grate upon the ears and the ways in which they loop never feels monotonous.I highly recommend this game, especially at a really good price point for the amount of content you get at 50 challenging levels.

Excelente juego de plataformas, un poco como Super Meat Boy pero con muy poco niveles. No cuenta con un menu para cambiar los controles.
