Mystik Belle

Fantastic Metroidvania platformer with some yet simple gameplay , great visuals and art style. the game has a very nice and moody ambiance enhanced with sublte but noticeable shadows and light effects , the sountrack is great with it's mix of orchestra and chiptunes music , the story is good enough to drive the gameplay and there are various puzzles that make senses. there is a good ammount of back tracking but it's not too much annoying either and you also level up by dispatching enemies , the maximum level can be reached in a few hours and give you much stronger projectile once you've reach it. there is also a various Items to move around in order to solve the puzzles but like I said before the puzzles make senses and even if you get stuck it's very easy to figure out the current step you"re in when looking at a guide since the game is not overly complex.

Fun game, fun times. Lighthearted and witty writing. Reminds me of the good Gameboiii times. Perfect Halloweengame. Also the soundtrack is a banger!

A sweet little adventure with gorgeous pixel art animation, loveable characters, and a healthy amount of wacky humor. The action platforming side of things is a bit of a mixed bag - the movement controls are solid, and Belle's attacks and abilities are fun to use, but the enemy, boss, and level design can be a bit rough, and some quality of life features are missing. As for the point-and-click-style puzzles (not actually pointing and clicking, just picking up items in one place and finding a use for them elsewhere), they're mostly pretty simple except for a couple of somewhat unintuitive solutions. Overall a fun game with lots of love poured into it, just don't expect anything too sophisticated.

🧹 This is what is called a charming game. The graphics are atmospheric and beautiful, as is the music. The locations are small, but filled and comfortable for exploration. The camera seems close, but it doesn't cause discomfort. There are unusual interesting mechanics. The quests are simple, but more interesting than in most representatives of the genre. Cartoon characters and the plot are really funny (we're waiting for DLC or a sequel!) You can complete it in 3-4h. LVLing is modest (it would be better to have more), but the balance is good, there is protection from spam on bosses, but if you want to relax, DON'T play on "harder" difficulty, as some of the bosses can easily destroy your nerve cells with their attacks hitboxes.

Cute graphics, but the platforming requires being too far onto the edge of the platforms at times that it just isn’t fun. The adventure puzzles are obtuse and non-sensical having you do things like combing a bunch of random items, which you can only know to do after speaking to a single character. The gunplay is too simplistic, and once you get to the first boss the difficulty spikes steeply, because in this fight it’s almost impossible to not get hit and requires a lot of tedious jumping and shooting, which was so unsatisfying I decided I didn’t want to play anymore.

This game is very short if you play all day but it can be Hard at some points but keep trying and you shall succeed. At sorta random i was able to beat the game without giving up. The bosses were difficult (the spider was the hardest. The werewolf was a joke since i leveled my fire up. If you lvled ur fire the bosses should be no hassle except for the final boss. Since you have to use the mech suit. Good job DarkFalzX you did a really good job on the game i enjoyed every bit of the game. It was fun to lets play it/ and long play it. Took me a whole day to beat it.

A really well put together metroidvania that, as others have pointed out, features an item system that is more reminiscent of point-and-click adventure games. It feels very much like a 90s SNES/Genesis game with spot-on graphics, music ,and controls. The game-play is very fun and the story and dialogue are fun and amusing. The only big drawback? It is extremely short. You can easily beat this game and get both endings in under ten hours. I almost considered giving a negative review just because of that. I realize it is tough for indie game developers so I am not going to do that. But this game most certainly is not worth $15. Graphics: 10/10 -- Looks like 90s 7th gen game, and a well-made one at that Music/SFx: 10/10 -- The music is in the style of 90s games, but sounds more modern Gameplay: 5/10 -- In and of itself, very enjoyable. But it gives less than ten hours of play. Controls: 10/10 -- No problems here Story: 10/10 -- Much more well thought out and well written that it needed to be Overall: 45/50 tl,dr: Fun game but really short. Buy with deep discount.

Очень хорошая игра, надеюсь разработчики и дальше будут радовать подобными продуктами , очень надеюсь на продолжение

Really liked it. Doesn't overstay.
