RITE

Underrated

1画面に収まったステージをクリアして進めて行くアクションゲームです。 操作感は良いが、言い換えるとキャラの動きが速すぎるとも言えます。 自分の操作に問題なかったかを確認できる前に次の動きを入力し始めなければならず、 後半に行くほどステージの癖を見抜き、そして自分の体に覚え込ませる必要があります。 各面ごとに求められる動き方は様々で、似ているようでも異なる味付けを感じる事ができます。 むしろこのオブジェクトの種類数でここまで複数の難易度・テクニックのステージを用意できるものだと感動しました。 まだクリアまで半ばなのですが、同じ面を30分も続けていると気付いた時、私はもう手遅れなのだと思いました。

this cute platformer lured me in with cute pixel art and a low price tag. unfortunately, platformers live and die by two things: the controls and the level design. while it isn't evident in the first hour or so of play, the character in this game is extremely twitchy. it doesn't feel so bad when all you have are wide open hallways and minimal hazards, and the first 2-3 worlds feel good to move around in. this all changes in world 4. the increasing difficulty of the levels tends not to highlight the strengths of the precision allowed in the system, but rather how inconsistent and volatile the character can feel due to the very high gravity in particular. eventually i got to a level that required a precise height of jump (i believe called minefield or smth) and it really felt like rolling the slot machine rather than actual timing with how strict it was. many levels also feature repetitive design, where you need to make the same hard jump several times in a row, and it makes the game feel flat and monotonous. more like a series of challenges to practice, like practicing guitar chords. i like difficulty in a platformer, i have p ranked pizza tower with both characters, and beaten celeste to farewell in about 3 hours (ik not that impressive but pls). this game is simply not that interesting. it's too hard to be cozy, and too tedious to be difficult in the manner i enjoy. maybe if it was like 2 dollars i would recommend this and say stop after world 3.
