Très bon jeu de plateforme avec des idées et une DA originale, j'adore.
Pretty solid! Took about 5-6 hours to finish the story for the first time. Definitely feels like Celeste, tho this feels a lot more forgiving compared to Celeste in my opinion. If you like sidescroll platformers with unique mechanics, but would like a less stress inducing feel to it. This is definitely the game.
Jogo com ótimo design e boa criatividade
Great short little platformer.
I had a lot of fun with this game, but there were some things that I found a little disappointing. First off, I gotta mention how amazing the music was throughout every moment of the game. Bravo to the composer(s)! The artstyle in general was very neat as well, making cold computer components into cute little little creatures was a huge success. Now, for the meat and potatoes of the game... the platforming, while often times fun and challenging, it could also be a little too easy at times. As others have mentioned, some of the most difficult platforming sections are designed to be cheesed by going around the obstacles instead of through them. This happened a lot more than was expected and was a pretty big letdown. I don't even know if most of these sections were able to be beaten by going through them, and as somebody who plays a ton of precision platforming games, this definitely felt like cheating. The game is definitely not easy though, and I am sure getting the deathless achievement takes a lot of practice. I was also not a fan of that penguin popping up whenever you are trying to get through a tough section, saying things that are irrelevant like "try thinking about it another way", when I am just trying to get passed a normal part. It almost feels like the game is mocking you for failing too much and besides a few parts where you probably need to take the cheese path, it gets super annoying. All in all, the game had good controls, creative level design, and an interesting theme to it. It often goes on sale for pretty cheap and at that price, it is 100% worth the money.
level 4 and each level brings something new and creative its actually crazy good. Should of exploded in the Fez community Great game! it's perfect puzzle platformer that is quick and fun not a slow puzzle game but a fast one.
Non mi è piaciuto.
Дискета съела все комплектующие компьютера и даже не поделилась :steamsad:
More of a precision platformer than a puzzle platformer, though it does have an interesting emphasis on finding out of the box solutions (ie cheeses) for many levels in the game, though those tend to lean towards making the obvious or "designed" path much more difficult than the levels around it in order to encourage you to not do it properly. The precision doesn't quite hold up to what it's asking you to do, particularly the downright insidious no deaths achievement. The main thing I had issues with was the spin-jump hover time mechanic seemingly getting eaten on certain jumps, and the imprecision of the same button being jump, spin, and activate background boost objects, which you can also spin into. Lots of moments where you would spin early enough to realize you didn't activate the bumper, your reflex will hit the jump button again to make sure you hit the bumper, but the original spin actually hit it and now your second press is spinning immediately out of the bumper and losing all vertical momentum. It felt bad every time unfortunately. Other than that it doesn't really use the mouse + keyboard mechanic enough for me to feel like it was worth playing with a keyboard over a controller.
Хорошая короткая инди-игра про похождение маленькой дискеты в локальной сети. Немного есть проблемы с пониманием размеров игрового персонажа, что мешает проходить без повреждений (смертей), но в остальном игра отличная. Подарит несколько часов хорошего времяпрепровождения! P.S. на Steam Deck играется отлично!
