Mira's Brush

There's so much potential here with the writing, art style, and music, but the gameplay is just not there. It's so glitchy, the platforming is terrible, and this makes the cheap enemy placement that much more frustrating. There are many monochrome items you'll need to colour that enemies will camp out around and kill you if you try. As this is still in early access, I hope the developers understand that major improvements need to be made to make this playable. You need more than style to make a good game.

Mira’s Brush is a colorful take on the side-scrolling pixel-art platforming genre, a genre that defined early video games and has persisted through the years. The basic idea is that all the color has been stolen from Chromaland which is now greyscale and it is up to Mira and her brush to restore color. You can steal colors and paint and do a host of different shapes and colors to defeat or blend enemies. Sadly it is marred by clunky gameplay and tutorial and clunky menus. The platforming aspect of the game is pretty icy and takes some frustrating moments getting used to. I found it difficult to jump high enough sometimes and it really takes more technique to get on to stuff but it is manageable, but it should be like 10% higher. The tutorial floating text is terribly placed and floats off screen and is difficult to see. Sometimes matching enemies to the background does not work. Graphically the game is very bright and the pixel art has a very well done simplistic design. The graphics might be the greatest aspect of the game in its given state. The menus are difficult to navigate with a keyboard, there are no instinctive elements. The audio/graphic settings are lacking severely, you can’t even mute sounds in the game if you wanted, the sliders are gimped to stop before 0. I think that's an interesting choice, I'm sure that will change. You pretty much need to use a controller. Don’t get me wrong, I love the graphics, the soundtrack slaps, interesting premise and I love the game design theory here. But it needs to be severely refined to meet the standards it's seeking to attain. This game has a massive potential to be great, but as of this moment I cannot recommend it but I truly want to. I hope the full release makes a lot of changes. [code]For other game reviews, please [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/40640212/]follow us at What The Game?[/url][/code]

[h1]Описание:[/h1] Красиво нарисованный инди платформер, с наикривейшим управлением... На клаве не смог даже обучение пройти... P.s. подрубил джойстик. Управление теперь более менее нормальное, хотя герой и дергается очень резко при движении... Но игра все равно Г какое-то... Все силы в рисование ушли.

Unplayable, got a key to review it but like many others have said its impossible to make the first jump in the game.. i find it hard to believe that they cant replicate the issue to fix it when multiple people have also had the same issue

Cute, colorful, and full of lighthearted humor. I had a little trouble getting a feel for the color-swapping mechanics, but other than that, I've enjoyed what I've played so far. Looking forward to seeing how the game develops as it gets close to full release.

Wish I could actually play the game past the first jump of the tutorial but you can't physically jump high enough. It's disappointing.

I actually can't get past the first jump. The one where you need to jump on that slope up to the yellow platform. I feel like a game journalist, but I swear I just can't get up there.

I love the creativity in this game. The difficulty is on par with Mega Man from days of yore, not an easy game by any means, but that makes it fun, and keeps you coming back for more of a challenge. I love the rubber ducky, the use of paint is quite fun, the music is very light-hearted and fits quite well. It's a little tricky figuring things out, but once you get the hang of it, it's worth it! I would recommend this game.

Cute, artistic, love the music. Cant get past the tutorial as Mira doesnt jump high enough to get you past the 1st jump. Cant recommend a game I cant play. Hoping for a fix.

very cute love the art style is a bit challening
