PULMO

음 어 뭐 그냥 사운드트랙 들려주고 싶어서 만든 게임 느낌? 그냥 뭐 잔잔하게 30분 정도 음악듣고 온 느낌? 근데 굳이 사서 들으실 필요는 없을듯?

I think it was an alright game for the price I got it, I wanna say it was on sale or something so I got it for like half a dollar? but it's a bit derivative and the gameplay ranges from simple, to simple but annoying It's kinda one of those more "artsy" type games where the gameplay isn't very interesting or spectacular, I think because it's supposed to take a backseat to the music and visuals, though I didn't find much of that super interesting either... The one vocal track is memorable at least, though. PULMO calls itself a puzzle game but most of the "puzzles" just revolve around walking the correct direction or walking at an object. They don't really require any thinking or logic so it's hard to really consider them puzzles outside of the final two levels. There's also a limited FPS for stylization, which I'm not inherently opposed to; limited FPS in the right places can look pretty good, but I don't like the way it's handled here. Most examples where it works REALLY well mainly limit the FPS of animations specifically, like in Pseudoregalia where the character animations have limited frames but physical and camera movement don't. Meanwhile, in this case where EVERYTHING gets limited by it, it just ends up making the game feel laggy or low performance which I don't think is the intended effect. Thankfully you can disable it, which I did after it started to become kind of annoying. the game's visual style in general feels derivative, though... I've never played KIDS from Playables but I remember seeing stuff about it, so I think I kind of got tricked into buying this because I thought this was that. Oops. No idea if that game was an inspiration or something, but I think the style could probably be more original Also not sure what's up with the controller support. I use a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller connected by USB, in case it's just that specific controllers aren't correctly supported... I noticed that when I tried to use it, menu selection was very difficult or impossible, and oftentimes when I was trying to move my character downwards, it would just start randomly moving me upwards instead. I've never seen that before. No idea why that would possibly happen as the controller works fine with the few other games I've tried it on, so it's clearly not a drift issue or something of the sort. I dont REGRET buying it cause it was very cheap, and clearly i have things to Say about it even if they're not necessarily positive. But unless you're looking for a bunch of super cheap stuff, this game isn't anything too special to write home about
