The Lost Soul

Great game! Nice soundtrack and creative sprites! 10/10

[b]The Lost Soul[/b] is a retro-styled pixelated platformer about a semi-abstract geometric (industrial?) world where touching anything red will insta-kill you, white is safety and blue are spawn points & the finish. Your character’s movements are very basic and feel a bit unnatural and awkward: jumps are always of the same height, your character always can only move at a single same speed, and has no ‘momentum’. However, gameplay is solid and navigating through the hazards is not so much a challenge of your platforming skills, instead this game is all about precision timing. But I realize not all platformer fans will like this approach. The game can be completed in well under an hour on your first try – so it is ideal for doing a complete run when you have a spare hour to waste. The levels are well designed and have a pretty flat difficulty curve. There are apparently hidden secrets, but I didn’t find any of them yet. My rating: [b]7 out of 10[/b].

[h1]★★★★★★★☆☆☆ [7/10][/h1] Unglaublich gut umgesetzter Retro-Plattformer mit unterschiedlichen Schwierigkeitsgraden

The Lost Soul is a bite-sized precision platformer designed to be completed in about an hour. This is definitely a minimalist experience, and in more ways than the art style. Your only ability is a basic jump, there aren't any extras outside of a handful of secret warps, and the difficulty selection simply affects your number of lives, the number of checkpoints, and the time limit. The minimalism isn't a bad thing though, as its simplicity and brevity give The Lost Soul long-term replayability and some solid speedrunning potential. Level design is a crucial factor in games like this and The Lost Soul doesn't disappoint. While nothing here is revolutionary, The Lost Soul steadily introduces new obstacles and experiments with them just enough to add variety without feeling repetitive. Difficulty likewise ramps up at a consistent pace and the game demands plenty of precise, tight timing without ever feeling frustrating or unfair. The Lost Soul also does mostly well aesthetically. The minimalist, industrial visuals resemble those of the LOVE series, though this game has plenty of its own style. Though there isn't much in the way of a plot, the levels take on a more sinister look over time and really convey the sense of descending deeper into a secret factory. The one area where The Lost Soul somewhat stumbles is its music. While the music selection itself is solid, levels cycle through sets of songs which each fade away into other songs instead of looping; it gives the impression of listening to a music playlist rather than a soundtrack tied to a game and robs levels of some of their sense of individuality as a result. It may not be Game of the Year material, but for its low $1.99 price tag The Lost Soul offers up a short, yet consistently solid and entertaining challenge from beginning to end.

简单粗暴的像素风格，看似轻松的休闲游戏实则是手残党的灾难，不错不错

Fun rage Platformer. Easy mode can get pretty tricky! I would be cool if there were more levels, and some sort of intro/turoial, but overall it's a fun, short game.

This will appeal to people who like minimalist abstract platformers. No gimmicks, nothing to collect, just straightforward color-coordinated platforming that can be finished in an hour.

Примитивный подобие платформера. За синий шар, избегая ловушки, нужно добраться до конца уровня. Сложности отличаются ограничением времени, количеством чекпоинтов и жизней.
