Mask Quest

incredibly fun & novel platformer. these guys don't disappoint. it's well above the 'indie platforner' title. increpare is not (and never is) interested in making a game you've already played. it's hilarious, and I was hooked instantly.

Get this if you are a fan of breathing.

神人游戏（指神金） 很有创意的平台跳跃游戏，有点难度但不是特别难。核心机制开发的十分到位。剧情也是在幽默搞怪的基底上讽刺了一波。 唯一缺点是有个不稳定的障碍在最后一关因为随机性把我坑了好几次，实在是有点搞。

I had a good time playing Mask Quest, it's very creative and original, and features some very challenging platforming. But unfortunately, I find it difficult to recommend unless you have a bit of a masochistic taste in games. It's harsh, has very fiddly controls, and is often times unfair, but luckily pretty forgiving. Well at least in the Normal mode it's forgiving. Having come from Increpare's "Stephen's Sausage Roll" I was a little disappointed in the quality of the level design. At it's best, it's very creative and makes fantastic use of it's gimmick, but too often the levels shy away from making good use of the gimmick and just revert to "default hard platformer" feeling, and at the same time I feel the central gimmick doesn't remain fully explored either, there's surprisingly few entities in the game that actually interact with your breathing. Water and smoke are great and obvious choices. I'm a fan of the sail boats too. But of the main enemies in the game only Drones even react to your breathing, and it's not even utilized that often. I can't exactly penalize the game for what it didn't do, but I feel like about half the game boils down to "do some tough platforming AND remember to breathe" which isn't particularly special. I think a lot of these levels should have been scrapped or reworked earlier in development to make them feel more distinctly "Mask Quest" and less just like generic platforming, since that ultimately inclines me to compare this game to other "hard platformers" that do the precision platforming thing much better, such as Celeste, which is not a favorable comparison for Mask Quest. I think the achilles heel of that comparison is the game's use of randomness, or more accurately chaos. If you want to make a good precision platformer, you need to reign in outside factors. But unfortunately the hardest levels in Mask Quest make use of slightly random and arbitrary throwing arcs of smoke grenades, and wonky physics interactions between the Baton guards. Those levels can be quite painful. But most of the really nasty stuff is behind Hard Mode, fortunately. So, I still think what's being offered is pretty enjoyable though, and worth the price and time for the right person. But I think the shortcomings make the game feel more like a polished prototype instead of a full, but short, game that I expected.

This game is [b]*breathe in* *breathe out*[/b] quite fun to play [b]*breathe in* *breathe out*[/b]

Un bijou.

really addicting rage platformer with an interesting gimmick that permeates the design of everything u interact with.. also the dev got back to me in <2 hours when an unrelated bluescreen deleted my progress,, they just sent me a new save file on the exact level i was on

好游戏

Mask quest is equally as hard as it is fun! I did get frustrated a little at times but the breathing mechanic is pretty fun too! 10/10
