Lion Quest

[h1] HORRIBLE. [/h1]

What a great little game. At first the level design was very chaotic, but little by little, I started to understand the internal logic of it all. Combined with endearing story elements, and a wonderfully jumbled and relaxing soundtrack, this game is well worth your time.

What the hell is this? Playing through the tutorial, that didn't really teach much, was fine. Afterwards the "hub" world mess of an area just pops up and tells you you can replay levels and maybe do other things. I just fell through the map and went to a new level (i ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ guess???) and started platforming since that's what this game is. Saw the gift shop in the hub but I saw no way to get there and honestly I don't care to find out what is offered there. The platforming is absurdly airy. I get it isn't suppose to be hardcore pixel perfect jumps but at least make it to where when I jump I can short jump or super airy awful jump, not just the latter. I have so many questions about what the hell I'm suppose to do or which levels the tutorials count as (0, 1, 2, none?) but the gameplay itself isn't good enough for me to want to launch the game again and find out. It's not even interesting enough for me to google what the hell is happening in the hub world. I'm just going to uninstall this and move on. Also, I'm 99% sure the sound for collecting the rings is copied from Sonic games... Pixel graphics usally aren't this disenteresting. They usually have more than what looks like 3 pixels too. Honestly I don't usually rip a game this badly even if I find it this unbelievably janky, but holy hell it's just a mess. Why is there so much open space? Why is there not a clear direction to go? Just slapping the adventure label onto something where you can go any direction for as long as you want doesn't make it an adventure, it makes it a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and confusing. This is the part where I may say it's worth picking up for a $1 or $3 but ♥♥♥♥ me, I'd rather give $1 to my dog and see what happens.
