This is that one therian shift dream you had

This game is too freakin fun to only have 3 levels. A casual playthrough will finish the game in about 10-20 minutes. All the extra playtime is trying to get achievements for fast times, collectibles, completing without taking damage or dying, or completing the levels without collecting anything. There's not really much movement abilities. It has you running forward automatically. You can sidestep, teleport/dash to pink fruits, and slide. If you slide upon landing you get a temporary speed boost (holding the slide to keep the boost longer.) That's about it. Other than running through the level and trying to get the best time there is also yellow fruits to grab along the way and blue fruits that count as 10 yellows. Each level also has 3 hidden artifacts to find. There are certain checkpoints in the middle of each level where you get a moment to relax and breathe. It pauses the timer at these areas and you're free to look around. You might find alternate paths or collectibles in these spots before you move along. The levels do have multiple paths to go through so it can be a challenge to find out which way to go if you're looking for collectibles or trying to get the fastest times. This was a blast to play but I just wish there was more levels!

"Wild Dive" is a student project self-published on Steam Direct. It's from Objectif 3D in Europe. While student projects tend to be better quality than most "amateur" games, we must still question what value they have for gamers. This isn't a fully fleshed out game. It's the result of an academic exercise and has much more limited value than a professionally developed game. Educational institutions should not be using Steam as a dumping ground for homework assignments. It helps their marketing and makes students feel good, but it puts the business before the needs of gamers. The students made a first person action "runner" game, I guess if you distill it to basic elements, yeah, it's another endless runner, but the graphics are mostly okay. The action isn't bad either, making this maybe slightly better than most endless runners. But nobody ever got a prize for being the tallest midget. The graphics in this game are really quite good, which at least makes the game look more appealing. And while it's vital for any game to have impressive visuals (gaming is a visual medium, after all), there's more to a game than just the graphics. To be worth a gamers time, the game must match top tier visuals with top tier gameplay, and that's not happening here. Let's talk about price and the value this represents for us gamers. Because this is a student project, it's not a full game. It's not offering a fully polished gaming experience... it's a demo for the student portfolios. They made it work just enough to get their grades and walk away... it's unpolished, has bugs and optimisation problems that will never be fixed. It would be unethical for students to try charge money for their homework assignments, so you don't have to pay any money for this. But you'd still have to spend your time downloading this, and "time is money", as they say. There's the other problem, too... as a student project, this wasn't made for gamers. There's no requirement for them to polish and balance the game properly, all they need is something to show the faculty so they can get their grade and move on. Let's once more ask... why is that good for gamers? It's obviously not delivering a solid product. Yet here it is, on the store page, and here you are, reading my review for a student demo that's going to waste your time. While genuine amateur developers who made real products get ignored because they have to compete with this stuff. In some ways, this deluge of student projects on Steam is harmful to everyone. Since this is more of a student tech demo than a full, genuinely made game for gamers, and offers no Steam features, like a +1 to your game count, I can't recommend downloading this over a full, professionally made game, of which there are thousands here on Steam.

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
