Yunoia

Short and sweet, doesn't take too long and has some neat mechanics that remind me of Lego Star Wars. Overall pretty good for a school project.

While it is verrrryyyy janky, it's still an enjoyable puzzle platformer experience with a pretty art direction especially with the 2d cutscenes.

"Yunoia" is a student project from the University of Central Florida, once mmore making us ask the question if it's really good for the gaming industry if every student who has a game design homework assignment really needs to publish that on Steam, whether they passed or failed. This one is probably somewhere between a D+ and a C-. It's a 3D rendered 2D retro platformer with a swing mechanic, and not much else. It's short, and unengaging, because it's a student project, and overall this is a bit of a "meh". This features fairly low quality low poly 3D visuals which will deter a lot of gamers, understandably. Gaming is a visual medium, and it's clear the developers behind this didn't understand that. Not every "free" game really is. There's often MTX, or content locked behind DLC, or donations being requested, or any other number of things that could mislead gamers, but in this case I'm glad to say this really does appear to be a fully free game. Nothing demonstrates a developers belief in themselves and their work than giving it away without any remuneration. This is a service to themselves, and the gaming industry, and should be applauded. Of course, just because something is free, doesn't necessarily mean it's valuable. Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 3 concurrent players... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? This is a "maybe" experience... if you have a lot of free time on your hands and nothing else to do, why not? But for the purposes of a review, this isn't something I can say everyone must try. It's not quite there. Valve doesn't give us a "maybe" option in reviews, but if they did, that's what I'd choose for this.

Played this game front to back in 30 minutes. Besides the few minor visual bugs, this game was fun to play. I enjoyed the emotional cut scenes and fine art style. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE GRAPPLE!

Yunoia is a nice little 2,5D Puzzle Platformer.
