Palm Sugar: A Village Story

Nice game:)

流程很短很短一个多小时左右，这个价格有点贵了可以打折入。 需要战斗，可以切换弹弓棍棒和斧子，记得多捡点石头，战斗前嗑点水果，最多可以储存四个，战斗期间能及时补血。做支线会给弹珠弹弓，伤害比较高，驱赶恶狗还是建议用斧子伤害足。总体战斗体验还行但是操作手感难受，尤其推动摇杆走路很不灵敏经常一卡一卡的，不知道会不会优化。 以为是个甜甜的印度爱情故事，没想到全程惊心动魄的，欧亨利式结局，反转还行但不难猜到，比较喜欢结局对女主人物的刻画设计，不是很俗套的合家欢结局。 全游戏只有基友受伤的世界达成了。

Cute, very short game about the trials and tribulations of Seenu (and Geetha). The game is short enough to be played in a single sitting (and probably should be done so). There are lots of great aspects: sprite design is lovely, the village is fleshed out just enough to keep you engaged for the length (and no more, unfortunately), audio design is good and the controls are rather easy to pick up. The game is very fun on the whole. However, there are some drawbacks. For one, it is a bit strange that the game is inconsistent with mechanics given the rather short length. For example, tossing chicken legs does not attract the dogs in Yeddulakonda if you don't toss them in the designated area to trap them. You learn this mechanic when you do a similar task before. If I remember correctly, I believe you cannot attack them either. While it is easy to see what the developers intended us to do (it is blatant with the set up), it took me a few tries of doing it outside the designated area to realise that it did not work. As far as I can see, the Hammer Brute cannot attack downwards or never charges if you stay far enough, which may be a problem on my side but it never happened. There are some inconsistencies like this which is surprising for such a short game. An annoying thing was that respawning did not happen close to where you die. It is also a bit disappointing to see no telugu script for the game content. There are also a few typographical errors in the Tenglish version. I found the characterisation of Seenu and Geetha (outside of the epilogue) slightly weak. A game as short as this requires a lot of focus on the characterisation. Bellampakam is probably the most well-done character, with some memorable sprites for different parts of the village and the overall feel. The sadhu and Mastan bhai on the other hand are more unique in that they seem to have their own motivations and they help flesh out the story. Some of the other characters (Seenu, Ramudu, Saidulu and Geetha's father) are unfortunately a bit empty (almost mere shells of Tollywood tropes rather than well-done versions of the tropes). We get glimpses into the psychology of Seenu when he announces that all he wants is a simple life, but even that is a bit vapid: we never feel the impact of his words, for he is never actively caring for them (except Ramudu's rescue and revenge from the goons for misbehavior with Geetha, both of which he is almost forced to do). Indeed, Seenu is altogether a passive protagonist, the story happens *to* him; but that may not be a negative on the whole considering that this is a feature of classic Tollywood movies. Nevertheless, it would have been nice to see the game rise above this limitation. Overall, the game is charming and fun for anyone with some experience with a Tollywood movie. It captures the vibe of those movies well and is worth spending an hour or two messing around with. I wanted to review it to help boost its visibility. I recommend it, even with its limitations.

印度RPG小故事，主线主要围绕希努和青梅竹马姬塔的爱情奇妙展开，参杂的元素也比较多，节奏把控可以，玩的很快乐， 战斗部分比较粗壮，对打老大莫名被冲掉血，三滴血不抗揍，敌人没血量UI提示，还要注意敌人的出招，有战斗也有解谜，各种脑洞小机关，扔草喂牛、扔石头吸引注意等，还是很容易就理解怎么弄。

50 shades of [spoiler] Geetha [/spoiler] ani petaali 😂. Art style chala bagundi, really love the voice over and design. Kani chaala chaala chinna game idi. [spoiler] I got not so good ending [/spoiler] kani i beleive there should be some way i can get a [spoiler] positive ending [/spoiler] There is so much scope to this game. I know as a free DLC or even paid, you guys can do a lot of stuff. Some major problems unayi, like you can literally cheese the enemies and there are no unique attack patterns. but overall this is a good baseline. Final song and the menu music was goated. And as i said, you can make a ton of content on the same baseline. [spoiler] I would really appriciate an ending where we get to choose a way to join geetha and run the cartel. Kaani thats upto the story writers. Kani i could guess that Geetha vala nanna ne main guy ani. Geetha to kalisi manchiga cartel run cheste aa kick e veru abba [/spoiler]

A pretty good game. I was attracted to the game as a beautiful world. The beautiful town, story, romance, and everything takes a dark turn soon. Really loved the game. I love games like this. Not too long either. I really hope for a sequel to know what happens in the future. I would want it to be longer and keep the tone. Can't wait for a sequel.
