Once Upon A Puppet

El diseño artistico es muy bonito, me encantan los escenarios, todo contado como un cuento. El gameplay es sencillito pero vale la pena probarlo si te gustan este tipo de juegos con plataformas, objetos por encontrar y pequeños puzzles

Once Upon A Puppet 🎭 - головоломка-платформер, що занурює в казкову атмосферу театру. Історія подається мов справжня лялькова вистава. Картонні декорації, рухливі платформи та дерев’яний реквізит створюють відчуття, ніби кожен рівень перетворюється на маленьку виставу, що оживає просто перед очима. У центрі подій Нів, талановита ткаля королівської родини, яка через невдалий костюм була заслана до Підсцення, де випадково переплітає свою долю з Древом, наївним та амбітним актором. Разом вони вирушають у подорож, сповнену забутих історій, прихованих таємниць, що ховаються глибоко в їхніх серцях. Попри доволі простий платформінг, гра дуже захоплює своєю атмосферою та красивими деталізованими локаціями. Мені було цікаво знаходити колекційні предмети, що відкривають нові шматочки історії, і особливо сподобалось, що кожен NPC має власні діалоги. Є кілька дрібних проблем з оптимізацією, але вони майже не заважали насолоджуватись грою. У підсумку Once Upon A Puppet - затишна гра на декілька вечорів із унікальною подачею та хорошою історією.

Great Indie adventure platformer with an unique story and gameplay. Some bugs, but overall a very enjoyable game.

[h1]Heals my soul[/h1] An unpolished, incredibly enchanted world. Is it the most exciting? No. But the music and and the details make up for it. It feels light to play so far. I like this one a lot.

Linear, fixed-camera 3D puzzle-platformer in which you play as a talking puppet attempting to save a kingdom of fellow puppets. The gameplay aspires to be something akin to a family-friendly, horror-free take on Little Nightmares, but there are too many rough edges here for me to recommend this one to kids, with collision detection issues, finicky button prompts, various bugs, and sometimes unclear puzzle design. I still enjoyed this one enough to finish it, but take this as a very qualified recommendation, and I'd only really recommend it if it's on sale.

I don't like how wildly the difficulty varies, from the moment you enter a level and you're already being told what to do, like "you should move this piece onto that platform," even though things like that are already obvious, to having a parkour section where deadly smoke is rising from below, debris that can kill you is falling from above, and you're given absolutely no room for error. Slow down for a second — you're dead — and you have to start all over again. And the final section with the icy wall, where you literally have to juggle multiple buttons, was just awful.

The story is a story about dealing with loss, in a way.. I could relate with the King's decisions, though our reasons would differ. Drev and Nieve are well written and work quite well together. There are a few heartfelt moments too. Gameplay 2.5D Platforming that manages to be more than block pushing puzzles and interactions. Though, you do that a fair amount. There are a variety of "puzzles," that you'll need to complete. None of them are difficult. The only difficulty I really experienced was some platforming portions. I initially thought the whole hand controlling a puppet idea to be a gimmick that would become annoying. Surprisingly, it never does. As you play you'll unlock new costumes and abilities which come across as a natural progression instead of some forced game mechanic needed to complete a task. There's also a good amount of friendship building between Drev and Nieve. You play them as one character, but there are many conversations as you travel that makes it feel like they are two distinct characters. Level design is pretty good. There are some areas where the platforming feels hampered by the camera angle(s), but it was never a complaint for long. Each part of the understage you explore has its own vibe going on. It makes the progress feel real. I guess that makes me think of pacing. The pacing is almost perfect. It falters a bit towards the end, but outside of that I found it to be spot-on. It always feels like you're moving forward to the objective, even when you take the time to explore the nooks and crannies the game allows you to. A minor complaint would probably be the stealth portions and fighting things with your flashlight. The stealth can partially be skipped if you time your movements right to run and jump past things.. But when you can't, it just kind of sucks. Thankfully there aren't a lot of these moments in the game, but yeah they're just kind of meh. The flashlight stuff is all towards the last couple of chapters. It's ok, just... Well.. It never really feels like you're in danger, so these fights don't feel necessary outside of the game changing things up. Graphics The game uses some low quality cutscenes, which is weird. The rest of the game looks very good. Lots of details have been put into the environments. Animations are great, characters fit that nice mix of puppetry and being alive. There are also visual cues to help point you in the right direction at times. They aren't obvious and fit in well with whatever background location you see them in. Sound Great music, voice acting, and sound in general. Overall Overall? It's a good 2.5D Platformer. Puzzle light. Mostly great platforming, and a great pace for both gameplay and story. I liked it.

游戏本身还是可以，以舞台剧来描述故事，游戏的玩法也很新颖，舞台手操控的木偶来推进行游戏，通过舞台碎片一点一点推向故事主线，还是很不错的游戏的
