What can I write except what a RELIEF it's over. It's not pride, not satisfation, it's just a relief I can forget about this game and I curse myself for being into achievements. Just look at my hours... if you are poor speedrunner like me - DON'T PLAY THIS GAME. I warn you, you'll lose your sanity there. Why? Because this game is so poorly developed you might want to cry. First of all, obnoxious controls. I had to press jump like I've got brain damage because it wouldn't respond properly. You're expected to do short jumps but you just can't. I think that's the main reason I have so many hours, because half of the time Shu wouldn't jump after pressing A. Another thing - controller not working properly and it just happening in this game. I have to play on cable otherwise I wouldn't be able to even start the game. No story. You just see some intro where Shu-Grandpa is talking about evil cloud and some statue... so you just assume you need to run to safety? In the end [spoiler] you sing?[/spoiler]. I don't know, story is last thing you think about when playing, like it's non existing. Bug with collecting butterflies. At least I hope it's bug and not a "feature", because it was not working properly on four levels. If you want to play again, they are restarting for some reason. Talking about Winding Heights, A Once Proud Outpost, Desperate Race and In View of The End. Not cool. Another things, less important - you can't check leaderboard, because scrolling is not working + not skippable credits. Don't need to force people to go through all of the names. If your game is good, people will watch it. And the last thing, which is the main reason why I hate this game - time trials. Time trials, speedrunning are fine but only if executed properly. In this game it's just pure ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. And you know it's true just by seeing how many people feel relieved just like me that they are done. No one is proud, only tired and annoyed. In conclusion - don't buy, don't play. It sucks and it steals will to live.
[h1]Reseña de \Shu\: Cuando Correr es Casi Volando... Pero No Siempre Despega[/h1] [h2]Resumen[/h2] Prepárate para poner a prueba tu paciencia con \Shu\, ese juego donde puedes ser fantásticamente veloz hasta que te estampas contra eso que no viste venir. Básicamente, corres, saltas y te deslizas, mientras intentas salvar a tus amiguitos de una tormenta apocalíptica que, francamente, tiene más carisma que muchos villanos de otros juegos. [h2]Aspectos importantes e interesantes[/h2] Lo primero que te atrapa de \Shu\ son sus graficos que son bastante agradables a la vista, con un estilo colorido y vibrante que hace que incluso tus tropiezos sean estéticamente agradables. Y hablando de tropiezos, los controles son intuitivos, así que cuando te equivoques (y créeme, lo harás), al menos sabrás que ha sido por tu torpeza y no por un diseño pobre. Además, la mezcla de personajes con habilidades únicas añade un poco de sabor a la receta del juego de plataformas típico. Puedes mezclar y combinar habilidades para pasar de una forma a otra, lo que es clave para no aburrirte en las múltiples repeticiones de un nivel. [h2]Aspectos por mejorar[/h2] No todo es un viaje en arcoíris. La desigual dificultad puede hacer que quieras tirar el teclado por la ventana. Algunas secciones son pan comido, mientras que otras son desesperantemente imposibles. Además, la historia es más olvidable que la promesa de un político en campaña y eso le resta puntos en un género donde podrías usar algo más para motivarte a seguir corriendo.

great game. difficult at times but very fun
Un Juego 2D, pasa pantallas. No creo de destaque mucho en nada, tampoco que sea aburrido. Si te gusta los juegos asín, lo recomiendo.
Shu is a gentle, visually lyrical platformer that manages to stand out not through scale or spectacle, but through elegance, rhythm, and emotional subtlety. Rather than overwhelming the player with mechanics or dense storytelling, it frames its world with soft lines, painterly textures, and a melancholic sense of loss that permeates the journey without ever turning heavy-handed. You guide Shu, a small and unassuming figure, through a world ravaged by a destructive storm that has torn apart his home and scattered his companions. The narrative unfolds with quiet simplicity — a series of implied tragedies and hopeful reunions — relying more on atmosphere and movement than on dialogue or exposition. This understated approach allows the world’s charm to shine while giving the player space to absorb the mood and meaning in their own way. Where the game truly shines is in its devotion to pure platforming. Shu’s abilities are minimal at first — running, gliding, jumping — but these mechanics feel immediately intuitive and refined. As you encounter rescued villagers, each one lends Shu a unique ability for the remainder of that level, and the design cleverly builds each stage around the skills you have at hand. The result is a fluid, constantly shifting style of traversal that avoids repetition and encourages adaptability. Transitioning from double-jumping to water-walking, or from time-slowing to climbing, feels seamless, and each new move becomes a natural extension of the rhythm established in earlier levels. The game respects the player’s ability to learn through movement, gradually blending its mechanics into a unified, satisfying whole. The visual and audio presentation deepens this sense of harmony. Shu’s world is rendered in a hand-crafted art style that blends traditional 2D expressions with occasional 3D depth, creating layered vistas that feel alive even without excessive detail. Soft color palettes, gentle lighting, and expressive character designs work together to convey both serenity and a sense of worlds lost to the storm. The soundtrack shifts gracefully between ambient calm and urgent escalation, always complementing the tone of the moment. During peaceful stretches, the music settles into calming melodies; when the storm arrives, the soundscape intensifies, heightening the tension without overwhelming the player. These elements combine to create an atmosphere that is both comforting and emotionally stirring. The storm itself introduces some of the game’s most memorable moments. In these chase sequences, the serene platforming is suddenly punctured by panic as the storm sweeps in behind you, a looming force that devours everything in its path. The pace ramps up sharply, demanding precision and quick thinking as you sprint across collapsing platforms, dodge hazards, and hope your timing holds out. These segments contrast powerfully with the game’s calmer sections, showing how tension and release can coexist within a small, tightly focused platformer. They also provide an emotional weight, reminding players of the world’s fragility and the urgency of Shu’s mission. Though Shu offers a well-crafted experience, its modest length and minimalistic design may leave some players craving more depth or complexity. The game can be completed in just a handful of hours, and while collectibles, hidden paths, and speed-run challenges add replay value, they don’t radically expand the experience. For players who prefer platformers with combat systems, puzzle mechanics, or narrative branching, the game’s purity may feel sparse. Likewise, the lack of enemies — aside from environmental dangers — places all emphasis on traversal, which may not resonate with those who prefer more varied gameplay systems. Despite these limitations, Shu succeeds admirably within its chosen scope. It is a game that values precision, atmosphere, and emotional clarity over size or spectacle. It feels crafted with attention to pacing and intention, offering a journey that is brief but resonant, simple yet deeply polished. The combination of responsive controls, thoughtful level design, and an understated sense of storytelling makes it a platformer that lingers long after completion — not because it dazzles with grandeur, but because it charms with earnest artistry. For players who love platforming for its purity — the simple joy of movement, the flow of well-designed levels, and the quiet emotional beats that tie a world together — Shu offers a small but powerful adventure. It is a gentle reminder of how much can be conveyed through careful craft and graceful design, and a testament to the appeal of games that speak softly yet leave a lasting impression. Rating: 7/10
f包入的,横版闯关,画面设计很有意思
卡关了,讨厌追逐战,手残玩不了
1시간 30분 정도 걸리는 플랫폼 게임. 동료에 따라서 사용 할 수 있는 능력이 달라지는데. 동료가 한 월드마다 바뀌어서 꽤 다양한 기믹이 있어서 좋았습니다. 짧게 즐길만한 분에게 추천!
küçük tatlı parkur oyunu işte telefonda mario oynar gibi düşün. indirimle 50cent oluyo gayet okey bence
