Ziode Shadow

Ziode Shadow

A fantastic indie game. Reminds me of the classic platformers of yesteryear, but with sharp HD graphics, a unique artstyle and very witty dialogue. The artwork, voice acting and presentation are all top notch, but the real magic in this game lies in the way it makes you work your brain. There is no just holding right and zooming through a level, you will have to think for yourself and some of the puzzles are real brain teasers!

Real player with 17.8 hrs in game

Easy to pick up and enjoyable. Well worth the monies.

It’s so good I picked it up and played it for 6 hours right after I bought it

I have some minor complaints, like for example the camera is too zoomed in and jerks around when you change directions, the monochrome pixel art sometimes makes it hard to see certain hazards, and it takes longer than it should to respawn considering how much you will die.

These minor complaints are utterly dwarfed by the smooth controls, stylish pixel art, and challenging levels, each of which have several collectibles to add extra challenge and replay value. This is easily among my favorite precision platformers along with Celeste, Rite, and N++.

Mines of Volantis

3 hours disappeared; I’m not sure how. But now I need to sleep before work.

If you liked ‘Motherload’ for the zen mining; you’ll probably like this.

Ohhh this games takes me back to the time of Motherload. (the flash version, not the steam version)

I just love the ambiance and the music is very good!

Every time you go down it is the question of will I be back before my fuel runs out? Every dive is a hunt for riches that you don’t want to interrupt to get fuel, but you have to. And in time as well because else your haul will be lost forever!

Upgrading this makes it easier to get huge hauls. Content wise I think the price is a bit steep but the game is very fun to play nontheless.

Shattered Slime

Shattered Slime

I think the art style is cute and I like the concept of altering mass to platform, but the Light form felt waaaay to floaty and you would lose all momentum when coming into contact with any wall which made some platforming areas difficult. Also unsure what the little orbs you collect were for?

Music was also missing in Level 2 while present in other stages. Soft music for the Menu/Level select would have been a nice touch as well as proper transitions from the start/end of the level to the Menu. Just felt kind of abrupt on completion.

Real player with 1.6 hrs in game

It’s good for a free game.

I wouldn’t recommend otherwise.

What I enjoy here are the peppy music score and the creative level design.

One issue is the controller being way too sensitive horizontally, with no option for adjustment.

A bigger issue, but an irregular one - it happens more in some levels than others - is the camera killing you. Sometimes it happens because of a sudden zoom in while you are navigating. More often, the game unfairly hides the deadly obstacles outside the screen, and uses sudden, large shifts instead of steadily centering on you.

HANG IN ! MONKEY BARS ROBOT

HANG IN ! MONKEY BARS ROBOT

Super difficult! Physics-unfriendly action!

This is an action game in which you move with your hoof.

This robot can’t walk or jump normally.

It just hangs and shifts its weight.

The Z and X keys each correspond to a grab and release motion.

If you accidentally let go and fall off, you have to start over at the checkpoint!

Let’s swing and fall our way to the goal far beyond!

You’re welcome to play and stream live!

All 9 stages

Synopsis

This is an AMAZING plat former. Every level I beat I felt my brain grow bigger. The last level was crazy!

Real player with 2.8 hrs in game

Nice game with nice graphics, takes about an hour. Of the negative aspects, I would like to note the lack of the ability to change controlls
