Платформер — техническая катастрофа.
I gave this game a recommended vote, while i shouldn't, becouse i lked it. It's a demanding old school cinematic platformer, with very nice atmosphere, nice graphics at the monsters, a few good puzzles and some quite challenging moments. The drawbacks are the lack of precision handling and being kinda clunky. Fixing those and with better animation would make the challenging moments more satisfying. BUT the main problem is it's almost broken at some battle moments. Some enemies are dissapearing while attacking (and my character too some times) so i had to hit with trial and error by guessing or by the sound. And while you can manage those moments this is happening also at the final(?) boss so i could never completed the game. Overall, i enjoyed most of my playtime, i appreciate the effort of the developer and i would encourage him to implement these ideas to a more polished and not free of charge sequel!

controls are tough to get used to cause you're animation locked to every action including walking, but once you do get used to it its fun
другие обозреватели правильно писали и предупреждали меня, что, как платформем, игра высшая степень кошмара, и, да, так оно и оказалось. стилистика не плохая, можно сказать авторская, эмбиент нормальный и разный, звучи всякие разные угнетающие, но, если действия выполняются с некоими микро задержками, то все плюсы перечеркиваются разом. да и к тому же на странице игры был заявлен русский язык, коего в самой игре я не нашел, но, может он и не нужен, ведь сюжет тут картинками подается, но тогда зачем всё это
cara o pulo dessa desgraçada de jogo é tâo merda que a minha vo de 98 anos pula mais alto e com menos deley
Nie no, umówmy się, ta gra nie miała żadnego testowania... - zamiast walczyć z grą, walczymy ze sterowaniem, które ma input lag i jest nieintuicyjne - skok zamiast na strzałce w górę powinien być na spacji - bohater powinien wykonywać akcję spod danego przycisku w ułamku sekundy - przez ten input lag przejście pierwszej komnaty graniczy z cudem - bohater nie może wykonać podskoku w miejscu??? - skoki tylko podczas biegu to coś, czego jeszcze w grach nie widziałem, a grałem w kilka tysięcy gier do tej pory - menusy są totalnie dziwne i wyblakłe, trzeba się mocno przyjrzeć, żeby wiedzieć, który przycisk jest do czego + animowane intro + to, że gra jest darmowa
Wtf did i just play? Cool intro i guess?, whats up with the slug vore??? Movement feels heavy and restricted. Jump inputs are sometimes early and sometimes late. Also after dying a couple times i could not reset at all
