Lost Bros

https://youtu.be/OWJs4O0lsZY [i]Game:[/i] Lost Bros [i]Genre:[/i] Retro Trial-and-Error [i]Developer:[/i] Wheat Muffin Games [i]Publisher:[/i] Wheat Muffin Games [i][u]Copy supplied by developer[/u][/i] [b]Lost Bros[/b] is a retro trial-and-error game developed and published by Wheat Muffin Games. This is easily [b][i]the hardest game I've ever played[/i][/b]. [h1]STORY[/h1] You play as three bros who go back in time to save a member of their band who got sucked into a time vortex. There are 9 levels, each with a different setting, including the Stone Age, Ancient Egypt, Feudal Japan, Ancient Greece, the Far West and the Future. I liked the variety of settings, but the actual story (which parodies the simplistic nature of time-travel movies and games) isn't a selling point, nor does it want to be. [h1]GRAPHICS[/h1] Powered by Unity, the pixelated and almost hand-drawn levels are full of details in the background, including a different Game Over screen based on which level you are playing. However, it will start looking a tad repetitive, especially in the Far West and Piracy levels. [h1]GAMEPLAY[/h1] In each level you guide the bros to the end while avoiding traps and fighting enemies. One bro can use a sword and walk while crouched, another can jump and shoot rockets, and the last one can punch and use a shield. This is pretty similar to the SNES classic [i]The Lost Bros[/i], but instead of switching between characters, you control them at the same time. The controls aren't intuitive, and playing with a controller is a must, since using the keyboard is extremely awkward. [h1]CHALLENGE[/h1] Forget [i]GHost'n'Goblins, Dark Souls, Super Meat Boy[/i] and [i]I Wanna Be The Guy[/i]. Lost Bros is the hardest and most frustrating game I've ever played. In over two hours I beated the tutorial, died over 250 times and managed to fail every single attempt at finishing a level. The difference between the aformentioned games and this one is that this game is not enjoyable. The levels feature a lack of a learning curve and an astonishing amount of obstacles (as well as friendly fire) that will make you more and more depressed, until you start asking yourself why you are still playing, if you just keep dying in miserable ways. [h1]SOUND[/h1] While a couple of sound effects get a bit annoying, the soundtrack fits every time period perfectly. But prepare yourself to listen to the same 20 seconds of music every time you respawn. [h1]REPLAYABILITY[/h1] For you masochists out there, there are multiple levels of difficulties that make the experience even more unbearable. There are also 26 achievements to unlock, so prepare yourself for many hours of swearing and violently smashing your controller to the walls. Overall, Lost Bros is a competently made game that, unfortunately, lacks any kind of reward and enjoyment. I can't, for the love of God, recommend this game to anyone except fans of hardcore frustrating games.

This is a truly hardcore game. Very unforgiving and challenging, but you get a real feeling of accomplishment when you pass the puzzles. There is a HUGE variety of worlds/levels with varying music/art/gameplay. Just bear with it and you can develop the skills to make it through this game.

Have you ever wanted to experience a threesome? I know what you’re thinking so I advise you to get your mind out of the gutter. That’s not the type of threesome I am talking about. Have you ever wanted to know what it’s like to control three characters simultaneously? That’s the threesome I am talking about. That’s the concept of Lost Bros, the Steam debut of developer Wheat Muffin Games. It’s an interesting concept that is full of deranged little challenges and awkward gameplay even for those of you who are highly coordinated in the utilization of a video game controller. You’ll definitely want one of those as no matter how playable the game actually is with a keyboard the game was designed to be best played with a controller. Great concept with pretty thorough execution. Good pixel graphics and cool enough soundtrack. I love the fact that they’ve integrated their game into Steamworks all the way through including leaderboards for speed run times, trading cards and achievements. Good value at $4.99. The downside is that if you’re not up for a challenge with the occasional rage inducing quit then you’re going to want to avoid this bad boy as it’s not for you and sadly that’s where the game got its only negative review thus far on Steam. Even if you find that you’re not very good at Lost Bros I believe that you will find the concept interesting enough to give it a playthrough. Whether that means you wait for it to be bundled is up to you but at just $4.99 the value is there.

If you like games like Super Meat Boy or Volgarr the Viking, then this is the game for you. Very challenging gameplay due to having to simultaneously control 3 characters, but it usually feels pretty fair and you can figure out what you need to do next time. The amount of polish on this indie game is incredibly impressive for a 1-man team. If you get stuck, you can go to other levels and get upgrades that make things a little easier. Don't be afraid to switch it up if you're having a hard time in a particular area. Definitely worth it for the price.

Crazy learning curve. Some really good puzzles and a lot of dying... great theme and all around awesome indie game. I suggest you play this with a controller, the keyboard is a bit harder to control. p.s. don't stab your bros.

Disclaimer, I know the solo developer for this game, so I was extra patient when starting out. It's incredible to me that he made this all by himself, art, music, design, programming. Tons of time and effort put into this project, not as another mobile ripoff to make money, but as something actually creative, innovative, new, and fun. Knowing all that made it worth my time to stick with it long enough to develop the skills needed to enjoy playing. So I've managed to get 4 out of the 9 orbs so far, and I'm finally starting to believe I can beat this game eventually. As others have said, the game is very challenging, but it's mostly about learning new skills. We've all played a million platformers. When we start a new one we don't have to learn how to play. This game is different. Watch someone play a normal platformer who has never played one before. They will almost certainly get frustrated at first. That's how this game is, but for everyone. Now, stick with the game for a couple hours and you'll start to learn new ways to hold the controller, new ways to approach puzzles and enemies, etc. Best of all, once you manage to get past that awful unfair impossible puzzle...you'll find you could do it again pretty easily. Which means it's fair after all, just not the way your brain was thinking before :D Side note: somebody should use this game in a study of how bad humans are at multitasking :P TL;DR; Game is awesome and challenging but you have to be willing to learn new skills instead of just playing the same way you've been playing every platformer you've played the last 20+ years.

セーブスロットは１つでオートセーブ型。 エンディングは複数確認。 操作性は悪くありませんが、たまにジャンプ挙動が上手くいかないので、人によってはイラっと来るかもしれません。 プレイ時間は完全なるプレイヤースキル依存らしく、１回目は１８時間以上かかりましたが２回目は５時間かからないぐらいでした。まだまだ短くできそう。 例外的にクイズ・なぞなぞの場面があるので、英語力は少しはあった方がいいかも（無くてもパターンを覚えてなんとかできなくもない）。 --- １つのコントローラーで３人を操作するゲームです。脳トレとかで見る左手で丸を描きながら右手で四角を描く、みたいなものの延長といったところでしょうか。 ３人をスムーズに移動させるだけでも難しいのにパズル要素的な仕掛けを解いたり、敵の攻撃に備えないといけないわけです。大混乱。 でもちょっとずつ思い通りに動かせるようになると滅茶苦茶面白くなります。 アクションやパズル自体の難易度としては、高すぎず低すぎず、といったところでしょうか。 そこに３人の操作を一手に引き受ける難しさが絡まり、絶妙なバランスになっている気がします。 アップグレードアイテムもあり、少しずつゴリ押しできるようになるため、３人同時に操作しなくても何とかいける場面もちょくちょく出てきて、考え込まれたゲームだと感じました。 言ってしまうと、とんでもなく難しいです。敵がただ単にこっちに歩いて来てるだけなのに思った様な行動が全然出来ず、結局何もせずに殴られて終わりとかしょっちゅうです。 １つのステージの、しかも序盤で１００回近く死ぬのはもはや珍しくもなく。 心折れかけましたがもうちょっと頑張ってみると、色々な事が見えてきました。 ステージのバリエーションが豊富で同じ事の繰り返しなんて場面はほぼ無く、がっつり遊べます。 ステージ１つ１つは短めで、ずっと気を張り詰めてプレイするって事はない。最初は死にまくるのでえげつない長さに感じるだけだった。 ショートカットアンロック状況やキーアイテム入手状況（一部例外あり）も記憶してくれてるので小刻みな攻略も可能。 仲間の誰かがやられても構わず進行してくれる場面がある。バグかもしれませんがどうやらそれを想定したであろう演出もあるし、製作者の優しさもちらほら。 音楽も良曲が多い。ちょっとおとなしくまとまってる気もしますが、場の雰囲気に合っていて無意識的に盛り上がってるし、ボス戦ミュージックとかかっこいい。 演出や細かい所にも手が込んでいて、コレクターアイテムの様なものを入手するとキャラクターにしっかり繁栄されてるのが面白い。 難しさに隠れてしまいがちですが、魅力が多くて、ゲームの作り込みに感動しながらプレイしてました。 最初から最後までこのゲームのコンセプトである”３人をスムーズに操作しよう”というのがブレなかったので、地盤の固さも感じました。 PVで３人が乾杯して飲んでる場面がちょっとでもいいなと思えば、是非ともやってみてもらいたいです。 コントローラーとキーボードの併用が出来るのは確認したので、２人でプレイするのもありかもしれません。 最後までお世話になったテクニック（？）を１つ。 シールド構えた状態で残りの２人が押すと、ゆっくりと動きます。ガンマンのジャンプ移動を併用すれば少しスピードアップ。 これを利用すればあまり混乱することなく３人同時移動が出来るので結構いろんな所で重宝します。

A great game for $5! Tough gameplay, quirky humor, clever puzzles. Check it out!

[h1]An Extremely Difficult Adventure Action-Platformer[/h1] https://youtu.be/QSgTKDmhw9Y In this game you control 3 characters at the same time who all use different buttons on your controller or keyboard... if that doesn't sound maddening enough.... you have to guide them through incredibly dangerous obstacles where death comes at every door. + Extremely challening, but very rewarding when you make some progress + Each level is very different and sometimes game changing + It's very interesting to control 3 characters at the same time with 3 different layouts on the same controller, it works well but it's very hard to wrap your mind around it at first. + The art style, while looking a bit crudely drawn in some areas has a charm to it + There's some comedic value when you accidentally get youself killed (which you will do A LOT) especially when you panic or press a wrong button ("Oops accidentally cut my friend in half with a sword, pressed the wrong button!") - Frustratingly difficult and very time consuming to progress anywhere in this game - Sometimes it's a bit overwhelming to control multiple characters while other chaos is happening threating to ruin your run at any moment. [strike]~ I felt like the game would have been more fun if it had co-op multiplayer, where a friend could control one of the characters to make the game a bit easier.[/strike] [b]You can play local co-op but everyone will have access to every character[/b]

Awesome game! Just getting into it, and loving every minute of it.
