Slime-san: Blackbird's Kraken

Solid platformer, the content of this is included in the main game, i just wanted to support the dev by buying and finishing it again

Love it, great fun like its predecessor!

Note: This review may look like it's been copy + pasted from my review for Slime-san: Sheeple's Sequel... that's because this entire game is copy + pasted from that one. It does no service to gamers when developers just copy + paste entire games to try get paid twice for what's basically the same game, same assets, same gameplay... ugh. Slime-san: Blackbirds Kraken is yet another of literally thousands of 2D retro platformers infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere. This is in many ways a ripoff of Super Meat Boy, except your slime trail is green instead of red. Truly amazing innovation here... ugh. It's a "Frustration" platformer, made extra difficult on purpose, because retrying levels all the time means the developer didn't have to make a lot of levels, and that would involve hard work, so they didn't do it. Just like real graphics require hard work, so this has pixelcrap "art" instead. See the pattern here? From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. A choice was made to use obsolete, decades old retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result. To make matters worse, while lazy, low quality pixel "art" has been used, making the game look bad, many elements of the game aren't done with pixelcrap... which accomplishes a couple of things. First, it shows the developers perhaps could have done better and they knew it, so that's a major screwup. Secondly, it destroys any hopes the developer had of creating a "retro aesthetic" as their excuse for the lazy pixelart compromise... It looks completely inauthentic from a retro gaming perspective. Visually, this is a hamfisted mess, a dogs breakfast of bad visuals, and this kind of laziness and poor quality should never be foisted on gamers. There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks. There's no way to ensure this is running at the native resolution of your display. There's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. Slime-san: Blackbirds Kraken didn't appeal much to the people who own a copy of the game, either. It has achievements, and they show us a very clear picture that the game didn't really capture any interest from gamers. The most commonly and easily attained achievement is for beating the core levels, trivial to get, but less than 16 percent of players bothered to get that far before uninstalling the game. Hardly a success story, gamers just weren't all that interested in the game. The poor quality of this game is also reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 4 players. This is a remarkably low number, and now, the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 100,000 games for gamers to choose from, the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected. So, should you buy this game? Is this one of the best of the 100,000+ games on Steam? Slime-san: Blackbirds Kraken has the far too high price of around $4 USD, it's not worth it given the defects and shortcomings with the product, especially considering the sheer number of completely free, much higher quality games on Steam. This is also competing with over 11,000 free games available on Steam, many of them far better than this paid product.

Ich sah das Spiel „Slime-san: Blackbird´s Kraken“ erstmals auf der auf der Gamescom 2017 in Köln. Bereits in den ersten Minuten Spielzeit dieses, im Indiebooth sehr ausfallendem Spiels, war mir klar: das was das Developer Team „Fabraz“ dort zusammengeschraubt hat ist ein Meisterwerk. Als Slime-san: Blackbird’s Kraken am 20. Juli auf Steam erschien kaufte ich mir es mir für, meiner Meinung nach, lächerliche 3,99€. Nach circa 2 Minuten Downloadzeit konnte ich es kaum erwarten das von Headup Games veröffentlichte Spiel endlich zuhause und am eigenen PC zu spielen. Man spielt einen grünen Schleim, springt durch Level, dasht sich durch Wände und versucht zu überleben. Es hatte mich bereits im Tutorial erfasst: dieser Willen, dieser Ehrgeiz, diese Lust du bockschweren Level zu schaffen. Und das am besten mit allen Collectibles, in diesem Fall sind es grüne Banannen. Warum grün? Ganz einfach, das Spiel folgt einen simplen Prinzip: Rot ist böse, grün ist gut. Diese Regle stimmt nicht ganz, aber wenn man sagen würde: „grün tötet dich nicht sofort“, wäre sich so korrekt wie möglich. Das Movement und vor allem das Moveset fühlen sich grandios an. Es ist schnell, dynamisch und herausfordernd. Allerdings kann diese Herausforderung zu einen Problem werden. Ich war nicht in der Lage das erste Level mit weniger als 50 Toden zu schaffen, von dem zweiten ganz zu schweigen. Slime-san: Blackbird´s Kraken ist nur etwas für Leute mit viel Ehrgeiz, Lust und Zeit denn: Übung macht den Meister. Im Groben lässt sich das Spiel mit Super Meat Boy vergleichen nur mit besserer Grafik und mehr Fähigkeiten des Charakters. Ich liebe Slime-san: Blackbird´s Kraken und kann jedem empfehlen vier Euro in die Hand zu nehmen und es zu probieren, aber seid gewarnt: man braucht Ehrgeiz!

HARDCORE!!!

SE VUOI COMPRARE SOLO IL DLC, PUOI (Slime-san: Blackbird's Kraken) Se superate il trauma della grafica ad 8-bit, con Slime-san: Blackbird's Kraken vi aspetta un platform di quelli difficili come una volta. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ibeV4LdFsY

lol, very nice game, but quite difficult.

A shameless and buggy Super Meat Boy knockoff that is inferior to the source material in every way. Graphically, this game is hardly a step up from those cheap precision platformers where every object is one giant pixel that are polluting Steam. It isn't even decent enough to change the appearance up with palette swaps. The control scheme is way too complex for a precision platformer, making you hold a button to phase through terrain, which also slows time, in addition to Celeste style controls of jumping, dashing, and climbing. Precision platformers should have simple control schemes because the minute to minute action should be tense enough to the point where it's hard just to keep up with a couple buttons and mechanics. The level design is boring, seemingly confining its size to a set amount of tiles by tiles, although I couldn't get far in this game due to it being so buggy that it crashes every few minutes. This is shovelware ripping off Super Meat Boy rather than an inspired take on Super Meat Boy's mechanics.

2d platform kontroller zor retro tarzı var biraz tatmin edici bulamadım
