SOLAR CAGE

Player-character doesn't stick to walls half the time, game keeps eating my inputs, and the scanline effect is way too strong. Aside from that, it's a fine game, but those few issues make all the difference.

Has some cool ideas, but too janky and poorly optimised to be worth your time. Also suprisingly bad controls for a movement-focused game.

It’s a good concept, it’s a platformer shooter with parkour elements and it’s basically Ultrakill but free, so it’s Doom on a budget, on a budget, I mean it doesn’t play like Ultrakill, the gameplay feels more like Neon White and SEUM combined with a mix of Ghostrunner cus' of the one life mode and enemies, however the character design and the feel of the character is basically V1 from Ultrakill. I’ll admit, the movements and shooting feels great and it's satisfying to kill an enemy with a punch, the wall climb and wall runs seems fine, they did a decent job with the controls, The tutorial is fast and easy to understand so I give them some props for that, the map size is decent, for a free game I think 9 levels is enough however the level design is just plain to look at. The soundtrack is actually ok, it's just generic techno music and the one bullet mechanics is actually fun but sometimes it’s frustrating. If you miss an enemy you either punch them or run as fast as possible to finish the level, cus’ the only way of getting an ammo is to kill an enemy, speaking of punch, well…. it’s possible but difficult to kill, you either punch them first, juke all the shots or lucky enough to not get hit by one of the enemy projectiles. Gameplay overall seems decent. The problems, it constantly drops some frames, there’s no graphic settings or any settings at all, only the volume slider and mouse sensitivity. The game doesn’t have any texture, so it’s hard to know if there's a gap between the floor or behind the platform and it’s annoying cus’ you’ll be dying more from doing platform than killing enemies, it also doesn’t help when the game have screen filter and you can’t turn it off, it’s just hard to see, the game looks really cheap as well, I mean it’s on their name Scuffed Games. It has a few bugs, mainly the platform aspect of it, sometimes it doesn’t let you do wall climb or wall run. Just a nitpick, if you die the game doesn’t tell you what button to press to restart the level, so my first time playing I thought you literally have to quit and start the game just to play again, but all you need to press is the reboot on your screen, The enemies spawn seems unfair, it’s just really annoying to deal with. Overall, the game is fine, it’s playable but it has some issues, I’ll give them 5.8/10.
