Squirreltopia

Outro típico exemplo de jogo de plataforma super difícil e apelativo, sendo que fiquei presa na terceira fase e desisti pra não me estressar a toa. Por mais que tenha achado os gráficos fofos e todo colorido, só recomendo pra qm qr grandes desafios e não se importa de passar raiva cm vários obstáculos e armadilhas exageradas.

I'll just make this as quick and short as possible. The game is fun. It's a very simple design and has a bit of a mario feel to it in terms of physics and controls. However, the gameplay feels insanely rage inducing yet it makes you want to play more. The way death is handled is much less a punishment than a lesson. You respawn quickly enough to keep yourself going and wanting more. The game has really great graphics and soundtrack(which I hope will be downloadable soon)! For the price it is right now (€3,99) it's a steal! I can assure you that you'll enjoy every minute of the game, even when you start raging!

This game has problems. Yes. The controls are a bit odd to get used to and momentum still seems a bit slow to build but they're okay when you get used to them. That's not the real problem I have here. The real problem is the level design. Crimes: #1: ARBITRARY WAITING. No, I do not find it fun to wait around for obstacles to align in just a way to make progress possible. No, I do not find it fun to wait for literally no reason other than having a block disappear/a balloon or bubble respawn, or for a laser to deactivate. That is NOT FUN. It utterly destroys the pacing of at least half the levels. I'll go on record saying that cycle-based level design isn't particularly fun to begin with but they really go the extra mile here. #2: Poor checkpointing. For one, this is a precision platformer where everything is instant death. You'd think more than one checkpoint in levels of this length would be mandatory. Even on top of that, some of the checkpoints are horribly misplaced. There are a few levels with the checkpoints literally right at the start and a full length level after them. There are plenty of levels with the checkpoint too early or too late so the second half is either much longer or shorter than the first half. #3: Heavy emphasis on trial-and-error gameplay. A little bit would be fine (especially if the checkpoint system was better) but there are a decent number of levels where something will kill you that you couldn't have possibly seen coming (off the left side of the screen or from up above on vertical levels) that is just plain not fair, especially considering you could have to replay half of a level because of that. There's also lots of sections where you either have to study obstacle patterns really well or just keep trying things until you find what's intended of you. I'm not psychic, I will never be psychic, punishing me for not being psychic is pretty dang mean. This is a common problem in games, where the developer, having designed the levels, knows what's coming and doesn't see the flaws of their level. #4: Awful, awful bosses. All 5 of them. They're very RNG heavy and two of the bosses you can't hit unless the RNG lines up for you. The third boss especially is pretty much pure luck to beat, as you have to wait for him to come down to the ground (which has taken upwards of 20 seconds for me before...) and then you have to hope you bounce high enough off him because you can't chain hits for some arbitrary reason. The battle can take a long time and you can be completely screwed over for no good reason. None of the bosses are very good though, nor fun. There's other minor problems I have with the game (lots of tiny platforms you have to jump between, a good number of predict-the-laser-cycle parts, some awkward jumps, etc.) but those are the real dealbreakers for me. Aside from that. The collectibles are okay, though a lot of them rely on witholding information from the player (fake walls, invisible blocks, collectibles outright hidden behind scenery). The minigames... exist. I guess. I barely played around in them, they're all RNG hatefests. There's also time trials which I wouldn't dare attempt because playing through some of these levels with checkpoints and no time constraints was already frustrating enough. The graphics are meh, the music is meh, the story is nonexistent. There's practically no difficulty curve too. I don't feel like the game ever got harder as a whole. There were always some levels that weren't too much of a challenge and some levels that were way too much of a challenge, and these are all over the place in the game. Even ignoring the (kind of clever) level progression system where you have to clear future worlds to unlock every level in a world. The ones locked weren't noticeably harder than the levels you played before in the world, or the levels in future worlds you had to play to unlock them. Really, overall, why does this game exist, anyways? What does it bring to the table? It's a 3-button game. It is less complex than the original super mario bros controlwise. There is no wall jump. There are no powerups. You move left, right, and jump, that's it. The levels provide most of the gimmicks but there's nothing new. Bomb blocks that explode after you touch them. Bubbles/balloons you can bounce on to go higher. Lasers that turn on and off. Turrets that shoot at you. Occasional autoscroll or advancing wall segments. Nothing original or inspired. There's not really too much clever things done with these obstacles either, very little I haven't already seen before and seen done better. This feels like a product more than a labor of love. A game to fill space and to get money without anything that makes it worth the time spent playing it or the money spent buying it. Even if the level design was better, this is the real reason why I can't recommend this game. It has no reason to exist. It's the poor man's Super Meat Boy. Heck, no, it's the poor man's Mr. Bree - a game that itself is a poor man's Super Meat Boy. That game didn't have much special to it either but it at least felt like a project someone poured passion into (and it had decent levels too which helped, I guess.) And let me state for the record that I don't even like Super Meat Boy, but this game does everything Super Meat Boy does wrong way worse, and doesn't even have the feel of an ambitious indie project to make up for it.

simple, charming, really nice soundtrack and really hard. if you enjoy murdering hundreds of squirrels in horrific manner, then this is for you

ENG: * Squek! Squek! Squek! * Fun and bouncy platformer game with enough challenge to keep and which to play over and over again. Referral! c: FIN: *Squek! Squek! Squek!* Hauska ja pirteä tasoloikka peli, jossa on sopivasti haastetta ja jota jaksaa pelata aina vain uudestaan. Suositteluni! :3

A fun squirrel-based hardcore 2D platformer.

小松鼠平台跳跃游戏~松鼠像方块~要不是后面还有个小尾巴~~ 小松鼠移动还有惯性的！刚开始移动比较慢，跳跃距离比较近！ 音乐也很棒~虽然~对我来说超难的说~

A quick paced and fun game. If you played the origional Sonic and Super Mario games but always secretly wished they were squirrel themed then this is the game for you! Checkpoints and bosses straight from Sonic with the world system from Mario with infinite lives and a time trial option! Also if that doesn't float your boat then there are fun little mini games that you can unlock more of as you progress throughout the story! A beautiful side scrolling platformer that has taken me back to my childhood but made it more squirrelicious. 9/10 would reccommend and my friends now also have copies so I have someones score to compete against...

There are a lot of indie platformers on Steam and some of them fall short, but not this one. The graphics are charming and the movement/controls are smooth. It can be very difficult at times. In fact there are levels I must have replayed a hundred times to finally get through it, but I enjoyed every minute of it. The boss battles are unique and entertaining too, though I still have not beaten the game. But I will!
