Pale Night

What an exciting project ! Since I'm part of the team, I'm not gonna write an evaluation but rather tell you what a priviledge it has been to work on Pale Night. I've composed the music and made the sound design, something I had never done before. And Simon gave me that opportunity. He has made this game with passion and love and I hope you guys find it to your liking !

I've been following the development of this game for a long time. I love this challenging die and retry game. It runs perfectly. The progressive challenges and the music are fantastic. It feels so good when you finally overcome a difficult obstacle. You won't be disappointed, and it's excellent quality for a fair price! ---{ Graphics }--- ☐ You forget what reality is ☑ Beautiful ☐ Good ☐ Decent ☐ Bad ☐ Don't look too long at it ☐ MS-DOS ---{ Gameplay }--- ☑ Very good ☐ Good ☐ It's just gameplay ☐ Mehh ☐ Watch paint dry instead ☐ Just don't ---{ Audio }--- ☐ Eargasm ☑ Very good ☐ Good ☐ Not too bad ☐ Bad ☐ I'm now deaf ---{ Audience }--- ☐ Kids ☑ Teens ☑ Adults ☐ Grandma ---{ PC Requirements }--- ☐ Check if you can run paint ☑ Potato ☐ Decent ☐ Fast ☐ Rich boi ☐ Ask NASA if they have a spare computer ---{ Difficulty }--- ☐ Just press 'W' ☐ Easy ☑ Easy to learn / Hard to master ☐ Significant brain usage ☐ Difficult ☐ Dark Souls ---{ Story }--- ☐ No Story ☑ Some lore ☐ Average ☐ Good ☐ Lovely ☐ It'll replace your life ---{ Game Time }--- ☐ Long enough for a cup of coffee ☐ Short ☑ Average ☐ Long ☐ To infinity and beyond ---{ Price }--- ☐ It's free! ☑ Worth the price ☐ If it's on sale ☐ If u have some spare money left ☐ Not recommended ☐ You could also just burn your money ---{ Bugs }--- ☑ Never heard of ☐ Minor bugs ☐ Can get annoying ☐ ARK: Survival Evolved ☐ The game itself is a big terrarium for bugs ---{ ? / 10 }--- ☐ 1 ☐ 2 ☐ 3 ☐ 4 ☐ 5 ☐ 6 ☐ 7 ☐ 8 ☑ 9 ☐ 10

Amazing game! If you enjoy platformers like Super Meat Boy, Thomas Was Alone, Celeste and the like, you won’t be disappointed with Pale Night! The graphics are great, the music suits the environment very well and the mechanics are top notch. Everything is wrapped in a very cute little story that will make you love squares and circles. It’s very cool to see that the game was made by only one person and its music composer, great experience overall!

Cool mechanics. Not a fan of platform games but I enjoyed jumping on these walls. Looking forward to see this game speed run.

This is a story about a cube that’s allergic to light. But no worries, death doesn’t come at a slightest touch. There's about half the cube's size of wiggle room, and the cube shakes nervously as you step into the light. The game is a traditional platformer, so expect a lot of jumping, dodging obstacles, and dying. This game, on the other hand, will not spoil your day. There are a lot of checkpoints, and they're placed right before and after each challenging part. Even if you die, which is a common occurrence, you will quickly respawn at the last checkpoint you visited. The cube moves smoothly across the floor and has a good jump that doesn't demand pixel-perfect precision. When you add in unrestricted wall-jumping, which allows you to scale a wall all the way to the top without breaking your gamepad, you have a game that anyone can enjoy. Later on, you discover a few skills that allow you to dash through and block light. This improves the flow and fun of the game. The adventure will take you across five worlds, from dark caves to a burning volcano. It may sound like an epic adventure rife with peril, but it's all over far too soon. I believe the game can be completed in under an hour, if you ignore the collectibles and simply go for it. I’m sure it will pique the interest of speedrunners since time-attack mode unlocks after you finish the game. Secret walls and sections that become revealed as soon as you find an opening are a welcome addition. A glittering prism, the game's collectible, can be found inside. You'll have to bump into everything because hidden parts are impossible to spot in the surrounding walls. When half of the area is covered in walls or you notice a suspiciously looking portion of the wall sticking out, you know there's a secret nearby. The number of missing prisms in individual stage can be seen on the map.

Pretty platform game that uses really clever and original mechanisms, with pleasant soundtrack. Looks like a beautiful tribute to super meat boy, which Super meat boy forever failed miserably to give. For sure will become a great One-man studio that you need to follow. can't wait for a second game !

Really cool game, not as simple as I thought. Well designed game, if you liked Super Meat Boy, you will love this game

Great game for a first ! Love the concept and the challenge this game propose ! Nice to see a good platform game with new features :) Game design is great and I really enjoyed the music !

J'ai une certaine envie de me tailler une veine mais le jeu est bien réussi, le sound design simple mais efficace et les OST sympa. Le gameplay est novateur sans être excessivement dur

I’ve always been a huge fan of the puzzle-platformer genre, despite the fact some people tend to say that genre is dead. Pale Night proves they are wrong! The stylized art direction is gorgeous, and the gameplay can be challenging sometimes but the difficulty curve is well balanced. You won’t get bored, or you won’t throw your keyboard/gamepad through the window. There are a lot of great game design ideas and rather than using the same mechanics, again and again, Pale Night prefers to surprise players and re-invent new mechanics they will have to master. I think I’m only at the beginning of the adventure and it looks like I still have many hours left to enjoy this game. I especially enjoyed the first boss fight, paced by this cool track. A real gaming symphony, where your skills and the soundtrack will merge for a memorable experience. This is the rhythm of Pale Night, Pale Night, oh Yeah!
