Project Graviton

If you're looking for a new precision platformer that doesn't hold your hands then why don't you give Project Graviton a shot? Enter Main Loop are a couple of young developers from the United Arab Emirates who have partnered up to create one of the stronger precision platform games that I've played recently. Considering that I've covered games such as Izbot, Sym and In Between already this years I think that puts it among some pretty solid company. What makes Project Graviton a solid game in my estimations is that it genuinely feels easy enough for newbies to learn how to play yet hard enough that you're going to feel as though you've really earned it by the end of play. I think that is a huge component of what constitutes a good precision platformer. Of course you have your simplistic graphics that are more than acceptable and have almost become the norm in this genre and a pretty solid soundtrack to go along with it too but it's the actual gameplay that matters most and I quite enjoyed my time with this one. The only negative counting against the game is that there are only nine levels spread across three acts. If you're an precision platform expert you're likely going to be finished with the game in about half an hour and if you're a newbie it should take you an hour or more dependent upon how quickly you're able to pick up the basic skills required to reach a successful completion. However, the content that constitutes those nine levels is some of the most enjoyable platforming action I have come across. I'm generally loathe to call precision platforming 'enjoyable' and more apt to consider it 'rage inducing.' Though I, myself, will never be the most skilled player I can still appreciate well designed platform games. That's what Project Graviton is. And if you're needing to satiate a hunger in your gameplay then this is a fantastic 'snack' for you to chew on. Note: one thing that I did not appreciate at all about the game was the fact that when I alt-tabbed out of the game in order to take notes, etc. the left-hand side of my keyboard was essentially rendered useless. I'm talking the shift button to capitalize words and the control button. Originally I had no idea what had happened and so logically given that this much beloved keyboard is older than my new computer I thought it was broken. I was in the process of exiting all of my programs and apps to reset my PC to see if that would help when I tried again after exiting the game to find that everything was working again. Please, if at all possible, fix this.

Video Review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYmOrZ5dv5s Welcome to Lair Gaming's review of Project Graviton for PC. Do you want to collect blue collect-a-thon bits or just race to the finish? I asked myself this question several times over the couple of hours I spent playing Project Graviton. While the main "narrative" only spanned about 30 minutes for me, the appeal of trekking back through Project Graviton's tougher sections in hopes of snagging all of the collectible items kept me bordering entertained and fuming for about 2 whole hours. This game is tough. From the start, it is made abundantly clear that precision platforming is key in Project Graviton. In regard to gameplay, think Super Meat Boy. You'll even encounter saw blades that call back to that title - and tons of red things to be gravely afraid of. The platforming here is very tightly controlled. You can move, jump, and combine a dedicated running button with jumping to clear larger gaps and shoot past obstacles. After some minor frustration - or, maybe challenge is a better word - you'll acquire a suit that allows you to change gravity's effect on the protagonist. This allows for the already pretty challenging levels to immediately rocket off into hellishly difficult territory that will cause you to do one of several things. You will be faced with the terrifying reality that collecting all of the little blue bits and finishing the level you've been stuck on for 20 minutes might be mutually exclusive ideas. I cranked the speed up to 11 and motored through these levels like I'd never even been introduced to the concept of collectibles on my first playthrough. To this point, I still have not been able to grab every blue treasure-y bit in Project Graviton. Luckily, in this endeavor, I'm becoming more familiar and capable of utilizing the 3 checkpoints given at the beginning of each level. The player can place these checkpoints at will, but each one disappears when you die - meaning that it's back to the starting line if you die and then forget to place another checkpoint. This lead me to some infuriating moments when I placed a checkpoint somewhere unsafe - died, and immediately reloaded to find that I'd died again in a blink of an eye. Back to the beginning, I guess. I was impressed with the techno soundtrack and felt that it meshed well with the gameplay and aesthetic - and it never felt like it was droning on. As far as visuals go, this is standard 2D platformer fare. While smart, quirky animation goes a long way to giving the protagonist some personality, it's regrettable that this adventure looks so much like ones you've taken with other running and jumping characters over the years. Lastly - there actually is some story at play here. I mean, don't think you're going to be enthralled by a tale of love and loss - but do expect some kinda funny dialogue and a short enough running time for the game that the dialogue doesn't have a chance to be anything other than endearing. I was actually shocked at how much I wanted to see the plot keep moving forward when the credits started rolling. Project Graviton is fun and challenging. In no way are you gonna discover some unique platforming experience you'll never ever have again - but you will find something that tows the line between fun and rage-inducing long enough to leave a pretty good impression for the price of a low-premium phone app. Gameplay - 63 Visuals/Art Style - 61 Sound - 71 Content-to-cost at $1.79 - 73 For what it's worth, I give Project Graviton on PC a 67/100.

Short, Fun, Simple, Difficult 10/10

Challenging game from start to finish. Each level gets more intense as you progress, as the soundtrack meshes well with it. Has a nice sense of humour to blend with the difficulty of the game. Gravity suit brings the challenge and fun on how to clear a level, especially if you're trying to collect all the chips. Definitely a worthy change from all the typical side-scrollers.

Well worth the very low price https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxSdsdnFsK8

Get used to dying, you are going to be doing lots of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynUxn7n1Qxo

annoying checkpoints

액션 퍼즐 등이 잘 갖추어진 플랫포머 게임. 내용이 짧긴하지만 나름 스토리도 있고 2달러인걸 감안하면 부족하지 않다. 난이도가 너무 쉽지도 않고 어렵지도 않아 재밌게 즐길 수 있음. 사실 하드코어가 될 수도 있었지만 원하는데서 중간세이브가 가능(3회한정)하다는 것이 유저편의성 차원에서 높은 점수를 주고 싶음. 도전과제 100퍼센트 도전에 3시간 걸렸는데 스토리만 보거나 액션에 자신 있으면 2시간 내로도 가능할듯. 도과러들을 위한 간단 도과 공략 Catch some air : 2-1 스타트시 위로 올라가는 부분에서 그래비티로 땅에 데이지 않고 위 아래로 왔다갔다 하면서 보석 다 먹기 How do you like me now? : 2-1 출구직전 천장에 지뢰깔려 있음. 끝부분에서 지뢰 데이자마자 그라비티 왼쪽 버튼 사용 로컬멀티플레이어 도전과제 : 1인 2역으로 먼저 100점 달성시 가능. (실행만 하면 안되고 승부를 봐야됨. 키배치 평상시와 다름) 이스터에그 도전과제 : 해당사이트 참조 https://www.chaptercheats.com/cheats/pc/355390/Project-Graviton-Cheats.htm

What makes this game? - It's a well-designed and well-developed fast-paced precision-platformer; - Cool gameplay with some Gravity Suit© challenges (fly up/down/left/right), especially when you want to 100% the levels and collect everything; - The story in combination with the wall art (text) and easter eggs What breaks this game (a bit)? - The fact that the user has to choose (max. 3) checkpoints. I mean, it's unique to do it this way, but one's not used to it and might therefore easily forget to create checkpoints - memory points in this game - which is crucial. Besides, after you die once, the created memory point will vanish and you have to create a new checkpoint; easily forgotten in my case...but since the game isn't tough as nails and just requires a portion patience, this just caused a tiny bit frustration. A 9-level short game, which actually seems to equal the Alpha release of the game, but long enough if you like to collect all chips to fully complete the levels. 7.5/10
