Buggy to even play. Whenever i play, quit and restart i get invalid stuff thrown while inside a development console, when i want to continue it just gives a black screen. Randomly the game loses my connection with my controller. And in a very too precise precision game, this has to have a stupid achievement where you have to finish the game without dying (so basically almost impossible).
Despite a large QA team, great art, and a lovely soundtrack, this game is a buggy and infuriating mess. The level design is just straight up bad, worsened by the "assistant" coming in and telling you "just look harder!" after you're just practicing a poorly telegraphed jump. You cannot make an immersive sim platformer by just not finishing the platforming; some areas were so poorly designed that the only way I could solve them was by finding a way to go out of bounds, and that did NOT feel like a "cool new solution," it felt like cheating.
Great puzzle/plateformer experience, super cozy, made with love from the beginning to the end, and it definitely shows. The difficulty curve is perfectly tweaked, and mechanics are introduced in a timely manner. The replayability is great, I had fun exploring prior levels to find all the collectibles. 10/10, would recommend to any plateformer puzzle lovers.
Latest update deleted my save. I wasn't super far in the game but I'm not inclined to attempt to progress if that can just happen.
An excellent charming dynamic platformer with very creative ideas and fantastic art and music, loved every second of it
Art and music are fantastic and was the initial draw for me to give the game a go. As a platformer its pretty mid, but overall a short good time. Controls are a bit floaty and the platforming sections are inconsistent in difficulty room to room instead of what you think of as a gradual ramp. Fairly easy to cheese a lot of sections, bypassing tons of rooms with what I assume are unintended jumps, which could have easily been blocked.
Très bon jeu de plateforme avec des idées et une DA originale, j'adore.
Игра прекрасна, по своему сложная в платформинге, интересная история. Но. ЭТОТ ЕБАННЫЙ ПИНГВИН ЗАЕБАЛ МЕНЯ! Я БУДУ ПРОХОДИТЬ ЭКРАН КАК САМ ТОГО ЖЕЛАЮ, И ЭТО ПРИСТОВУЧЕЕ "Я уважаю твое стремление искать сложные пути, но тут можно пройти путем легче" МНЕ ♥♥♥♥♥, И ТЫКАТЬ ЭТОТ ЗЛОЕБУЧИЙ ДИАЛОГ - ЭТО ♥♥♥♥♥♥! Проходил на "Без компромиссов" было все хорошо, и замечательно, НО ♥♥♥♥ ПОЯВИТЬСЯ И ЗАСТАВИТЬ МЕНЯ ТЫКАТЬ ЭТОТ ПРЫЖОК, ПОСЛЕ ЧЕГО Я СПАС ЭТОТ МИКРО ПРОЦЕССОР! ОН ГАНДОН! Я понимаю, что он важен для сюжета, НО ЭТА ПОМОЩЬ ДЛЯ ДУРОЧКА ПОСЛЕ ПЯТИ СМЕРТЕЙ, если не меньше, БЬЕТ СИЛЬНЕЕ ЛЮБОГО ОСКОРБЛЕНИЯ! Было бы замечательно, хотя бы после первого прохождения в спец. возможностях отключить эту добрую подсказку.
Devs need to undestand that video games are games. Every game i play nowadays is like a total torture in order to get the win
初回で100%クリアして3時間程度、 オプションで無敵類をつけて2周目をサクッと1時間走って実績コンプ。 めっちゃ悩ましいんですが、サムズダウンするほどではないのでオススメするくらいの感じ。 ドット絵も綺麗で小気味よい2Dアクションで、そこまで高難易度ではないです。ちょっとむずいところがある。 基本的な操作感はいいんですが、なんか時々モヤっとするところもあり。 重力が変わるところとか、移動方向が直感的ではない。 ウインドウを切り替えるところもLRボタンでの移動が直感的ではない時がある。 いろんな仕掛けはあるけども、なんというか発展しきらずに終わる印象があります。 ボリュームが足りてないというか、もう1段階ひねったステージがあってもいいんじゃないかというか。 お話は全然わかりませんでした。 セール価格であればまぁオススメかな…。
