Scrap Garden

Feels like this game should've been a collectathon platformer, and not platformer with some puzzles, because collectathon gameplay would've complimented very well with SG's best aspects And the best aspects of Scrap Garden are the environment design and music. You go from daytime in the city, to day or dusk hills, to evening/night snowy mountain, to dark swamo area, and then slightly lit volcano and ending on dawn in the city. It genuinely adds to the feeling that you went on a long journey, but because of the simple gameplay(you only have double jump and can hold then throw objects) it felt like gameplay was too simple and missed something. Sure there are some puzzles, but one of them(laser mirrors, the classic) is reused like 4 times, while being still very easy. Then theres 2-3 physics puzzles, like stacking barrels on one side to then move up, or using objects to destroy wooden structure holding blue dynamite, I think maybe the game would be better with more physics type of puzzles. The game also has ok, but simple boss battles(although a lot of them feel like cliches you saw a lot, like avoid the gaze of giant boss). All this meh gameplay almost makes the game feel like a walking sim, while not really being one, if that makes sense. But man, I think the devs have potential at maybe making fun collectathon platformer. As for this game, its still alright if its one of your first games in general, or introducting to platformers or you want something easy to breeze through(or easy 100% I did long ago) Just make sure to only get it on a heavy 80% discount or more.
