[b]Léonard Lemaitre[/b], on of the creators of the free-to-play [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2240530/]BABBDI[/url], is now officially the new star of the niche indie scene, and the main thing is that these aren't the usual indie horrors (like Klubnika or Szymanski). Sure, two other developers are listed in the description, but his apocalyptic, desert-like mapmaking architecture is clearly visible here, and you may think... a neural network could generate tons of similar stuff, but no, there's a sense of manual "madness" in the architecture, some twists and turns, false corridors, as if the goal was to make the map engaging for the player, but not all of them.. the dev is overly focused on quantity. I'm even glad that the core maps here only last for two hours of gameplay, leaving the rest to the community and future updates. I'm not a fan of "vibe" games or minimalism, but there's still some kind of captivating magic to it:
🤸 Especially When it's backed by a fast movement from [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2386720/]Straftat[/url], it's nothing revolutionary, super dumb but enjoyable. There's a turbo slide, a low-gravity jump, and you can crawl along absolutely any wall for a couple of seconds like Spider-Man, plus automagnetization on rooftops. There's no super-diversity in the locations, and I hope you didn't expect such a budget for such a price.
🎲 But still, the game has a couple of mechanics in store for the middle, for example, flying up on huge fans, or, conversely, overcoming the inertia of the air with a strong jump. There are "accelerators" on the ground like in Sonic, there are wild heights from which you have to fall exactly on the dirty mattress, there are springs like in Quake 3, and, naturally, the real kicker is developing wild speed as long as you don't fall or trip.
But the main thing is that here There are no signs, and the maps are so large, so twisted and awkward, that it often turns into a real [b]PUZZLE PLATFORMER![/b]
👥 This is especially cool with the full, perfectly functioning multiplayer for up to 8 players, where you either compete with a friend to see who's the fastest, or work together to figure out where to jump. This is especially true for maps with local citizens; they're just like regular racing maps, except you have to press all the buttons to open the exit; After completing a map, you can wait for a friend or start the next map manually.
It's a shame it didn't develop into a full-fledged story with some lore. The ending simply says "thank you for playing," though you can find a couple of references to the developer's shared universe. You can also find an artifact on each of the 30 or so maps that unlocks more challenging maps, the main ones are quite casual and "vibe," as the Steam status description says when you playing it. And of course, there's a shared leaderboard where you can endlessly compete, and there's [b]asynchronous multiplayer[/b]; you can choose any "ghost" of another player, so you won't get bored even alone. But I still recommend you try the developer's other games more than this one, especially since they were free before.
p.s. And now I'm waiting for the super mega indie game created in collaboration between Mile Klubnika + David Szymanski + Léonard Lemaitre + @WaterMuseum + MrDrNose.
