The King's Bird

The King's Bird is a top tier momentum focused platformer. It's astounding this game is not more well known. It's truly a beautiful game with brilliant and creative platforming. The core mechanic is your ability to soar for a limited amount of time dependent on velocity. There's also a dash ability that is used for wall run maneuvers. The third movement option is a standard jump. So how does the movement feel? Simply put, it's some of the juiciest video game movement I've experienced. Masterclass. I had an absolute blast flying through these levels. There's a big focus on speed in The King's Bird and it's not long into the game that you're asked to do some wicked nasty parkour tricks like ceiling runs, aerial loop-de-loops, or flinging yourself out of a half pipe pure blue hedgehog style. As a lifelong platformer fan, I found the difficulty to be just perfect. Checkpoints are mercifully frequent, because if you're at all like me, you'll die a lot. I impaled my bird person on spikes hundreds of times and had a great time doing it. There are accessibility options if things get too brutal. I appreciate how the game encourages experimentation. There are basically no explicit tutorials. You are shown only the very basics and then it's up to the player to figure out how to use their movement to progress. Teaching through example is my preference in any genre and The King's Bird nails it. The levels are the tutorial. There are some challenges, especially near the end of the game, that require creative thinking and the developer has faith in you to just figure it out. I have faith in you too. I have just two criticisms. 1. The collectables are sometimes the same color as the background and therefore can be difficult to see. 2. The final boss is just bad and feels shoehorned in. There is thankfully only this one boss in the whole game; the rest is all platforming. I recommend turning on invincibility (I won't report you) because the boss is so spammy and serves no purpose except I guess to gatekeep the credits. The art and music are lovely. There's a story here too but I didn't really pay attention. As usual with platformers, the story is mostly a framework to showcase gameplay. You're a bird person in ancient Greece or something. Bird fly. Flight feel good. Do parkour stuff. Don't hesitate on The King's Bird if you appreciate creative platformers. It's one of the best I've played.

我感觉好亏啊我本来以为我是高玩入手了连上手都困难，我恨这个游戏玩得我要抓狂了不知道在干什么，游戏引导好差………………心情是想退款………………

这操作玩不来

sb游戏，玩到结局存档没了，关卡也同质化，这设置界面跟没有一样

mc评分更低的dustforce

游戏的bgm好听.引导不行.玩了一下不知道在干嘛

yes

这游戏本来可以是一个非常不错的小游戏，有讨喜的画风和好听音乐，平台跳跃的玩法也是经久不衰，但是那诡异的按键操作逻辑又着实让人无语，让游戏的难度直接攀升到劝退玩家的地步。 如果不是这反人类的操作逻辑，这游戏肯定能是一个小爆款，我只想说可惜了那么好的画风和音乐。
