Northern Lights

Eh, strange feelings about this game. Its not that bad by the gameplay but its very very short - only 30 min. And because of this I don't really know what to say. I mean shortness doesnt mean bad but in this 30 min nothing really happens except 2 timing puzzles, 5 fast pressing keys puzzles and 3 dialogues. And, as you may guess, they reveal nearly nothing about the story and the world. I don't really want to rate it anyhow but Steam requires so... it will be negative. Yes, you may say it's only 2$ and it's an indie game and etc, but, you know, if some drunk bum comes to you at the street and offers to show how they dance for 2$, would you reject it because its pointless or accept because it's only for 2$? So, yeah, if this game somehow recieves update and continuation of the story for at least 1-2 hours, than I might reconsider the review, As for now, there is just no point in buying and playing it,

I played this game not knowing what I am, who I am, where I am and why am I "there"... but that doesn't matter since the game doesn't really clarify this I really enjoyed it and was happy to play such a short game like this.. can't say that the puzzles didn't piss me of cuz I kept dying, but that's ok, the game is too short for anger

5/10

Pros: Atmosphere, graphic style, sound and music. Cons: The gameplay: die-a-lot stealth and QTEs. So, the rating is deserved, the game is not great, it's just an interesting short experience marred by tedious game mechanics.

VERY short game... Like the game "INSIDE" but with REALLY annoying puzzles (for me it is). Up, Down, Up, Up, Left, Right, Up with a gauge that goes up when you got it right and goes all the way down to the bottom when you got it wrong. For that part, I was GLAD that the game wasn't long. It feels like that the developer was trying to see what it's capabilities were. Because of the shortness of the game. Got a feeling there might be a second part of this game, don't know, don't wanna know, like I truly hated that kind of "puzzles"... Search on Twitch for this clip as an example of one: AggressiveArtisticPuddingUncleNox The sneaky puzzles were good. But still, the game is too short. Yet, I recommend it, it wasn't bad at all. Just... Too short... Be warned... TOO SHORT!!! Enjoy!

Honestly loved the universe,as i found it visually pleasant.. But there is not a "variety of puzzles" as advertized, its just 20 minutes of pressing A and D. Then comes the huge disappoinment, when you finally start to get into it just to realize its all what there is..

I got this game for 59c which is about around what I'd value it at. $2 isn't an insane price to pay for this game, but it's a bit on the high side considering how short it is at ~40 mins max. I like the art and aesthetics of this game, its very portal 2-esque in places. The abandoned but not ruined world taken over by robots is a style that's underutilized and I'm glad this game incorporated that. The gameplay here is crap. You move in a straight line back or forwards, avoiding time based instakill items. Once you complete that, you play a wonky version of Dance Dance Revolution to send a signal laser to a tower that can always be seen in the background of the game. It's really that simple, there's nothing more to the game than this. It's actually pretty difficult to get the timing right because your little ball robot is very slow to both turn and move, and is very unresponsive. I spent a majority of this game getting killed and restarting from checkpoint. I did not enjoy this aspect of the game. I can't believe I'm saying this but this game would almost be better as more of a walking simulator. There's a lot of character in this world and it's wasted on gameplay that just plain isn't fun or rewarding. I do want a sequel to this game because I feel the developers have a good chance to improve the game and make it into something really great, but the limited mechanics of this game really hold it back more than anything else. I can't recommend this game on that basis, if you are willing to power through the irritation, you'll find some cool artwork and scenery but that's really the best thing I can say about this game.

I really don't understand why this game isn't free. It's so short and honestly the puzzles were not at all difficult, I wish it would have at least provided more hours of gameplay.

解谜也太单一了吧？？？玩呢？？？虽然打折入的，也不至于玩五分钟就没了吧，。。就结局了？？？？？？？

Ein süßes kleines und vorallem kurzes Game. Es ist ganz süß gemacht und sieht auch schön aus aber es dauert keine 30 Minuten um es ans Ende zu schaffen weshalb es mich wundert dass es nicht den Tag "kurz" hat. Das ist auch der Grund warum ich es nicht empfehle obwohl ich das Spiel nicht schlecht finde, ob du dafür 1,59€ ausgeben willst ist schließlich deine Entscheidung.
