The Lost Marble

The Lost Marble

This game is really fun, just feels really good to play. It’s highly centered around speedrunning, when you start trying to beat the levels as fast as possible then it really shines. Plus its got a level editor so that’s pretty neat.

Simple platformer, but good. There’s a decent amount of weight and momentum to your movement that makes the movement feel satisfying.

Pretty good game! The movement in the editor is staggered and you can’t edit a level afterwards though. Still really good!

Overview

Youropa is a 3D puzzle game where you must defy the laws of gravity to reach your goal. Walking on walls, upside down, on your side, at ridiculous heights, will have your senses mixed up and confused. On a few occasions I had to stop playing the game because I felt a bit sick. The game really portrays a sense of height as you walk around on ledges and walls looking down at the scenery below.

Second Update

I’d like to keep the original review in tact so future viewers can see the full context and timeline of the events that took place. To summarize, the developer saw my review and responded with patches much faster than I would have ever expected. In the comments I called the response unprecedented, and I’ll echo that here.

When I review a game I’m never going in to that with the hope of punishing the dev or game. In my opinion, the absolute best outcome one could hope for is for them to care and respond positively to criticism which happened here.

I’m enjoying this game! Like some other reviewers, I found the controls slightly off at first, but then I figured out what I was doing wrong. Accordingly, I want to offer a few simple tips that should be helpful for new and inexperienced players:

-Sprinting vs walking: In the Options menu, under “Input,” make sure “Use sprint input” is checked. This gives you much more control over your momentum, as you can either walk or hold SHIFT to sprint. If that option is not checked, I think you are always sprinting. SHIFT/sprint also affects your ability to make movement corrections while in the air.

The best I can say about this game is that it is fine. The movement feels slow and clumsy but honestly not all that bad. The mechanics range from very cool (the black-orange platforms that break) to alright (the wall running, feels cool but VERY glitchy) to just unneeded (zipwires, just unnecessary, taking control away from the player for 5-10 seconds.)

The double jump is weird, where the higher your initial upwards momentum is when using the jump, the higher the DJ will go. Eg double tapping space will send you flying but trying to DJ after running off a ledge will make you go nowhere. Some of the platforms that move up and down have weird physics too, but it makes somewhat more sense there.

It’s a nice and simple 3d platformer! I’ve been looking for a game like this for a while. Simple mechanics and premise, easy controls, short length (took me under 2 hours to beat it). As I played through the game I didn’t really have any major gripes. Level design was solid and almost all of the deaths felt like my fault. There is a tad bit of polishing that could be done, but overall very nice. The music and sound was excellent. I would love to purchase the soundtrack if possible. In summary, if this looks like the kind of game you’ll enjoy than I recommend you pick it up!

Challenging gameplay. Difficult to master but keeps you coming back even when you keep dieing. Every level is a challenge and every completion left me feeling like I accomplished some great feat. Impressive first effort from Cozy Cloud Productions. Gotta say if this is their freshman effort I’m excited to see what comes next

Verlet Swing

Verlet Swing

If you think Verlet Swing is just some average A E S T H E T I C game you can find anywhere on the web, you’d be dead wrong. While Verlet Swing IS highly based on the aesthetic theme it’s not only that, but it’s also a great indie game. If I had to use one sentence to describe what this game is it would have to be “Vaporwave Spider-man on psychedelics”. This game has everything from black holes to flying hotdogs and it’s one experience everyone needs at least once in their lifetime. Verlet Swing is a great game to play either casually or competitive. It really depends on your preference. The gameplay is smooth and colorful, and from my experience it has the right amount of easy and hard levels. Each level is unique in its own special way and that’s what makes it so fun. There are more than enough levels to cure your boredom and if you get stuck you can always go to the community-made levels. There’s already so many levels even though the game just came out, but the custom games change the games tremendously. Not only do you have all the levels of the original game, but now you have player-created levels which in itself could be its own game. Want to make your own game? No problem. Just open Verlet and go into the editor tab. There you can use everything in the game to your disposal. It’s is a little awkward at first, but once you figure it out, the sky’s the limit! Having trouble? Flamebait games has their own discord server where you can ask questions or suggest your idea to them directly! Verlet Swing is an experience you won’t find in a very long time-maybe even ever. If you’re considering picking this game up, I definitely recommend trying it out. Being as affordable as it is, this game gives you a lot of bang for your buck. So kick back, enjoy the A E S T H E T I C, and swing to your heart’s content!

tl;dr The movement is wonderful, the levels flow beautifully, and there’s a good handful of content. Don’t take this game at face value, it’s more than just the weird visuals. If you have any interest in this, definitely pick it up.

So you have spiderman, right? You get to swing all over New York at high speeds and feel awesome while doing it. You can touch the skies, glide on the ground, fling yourself through tight spaces all while feeling like an absolute badass. Take that, add some a e s t h e t i c to the mix, and you have the basic idea of Verlet Swing. This is a game all about swinging through levels and trying to get to the end, all without touching anything . If you were to condense the entire Verlet Swing experience into one sentence, that would be it… but of course it’s not that simple. Lets expand on that with a few topics:

I got this game almost right as it came out because it looks liked a good mirror edge replacement.

What i got was a very difficult game that i’m surprised no one was playing. steam has reported at most 14 people have played at once as of (10/26/2019), this makes me sad because it’s a amazing game for what it is

Pros:

A great selection of maps to try and beat, then find the hidden items, and then to try to get the fastest speed.

Great,simple,intuitive mechanics. at first they seem slippery but after a hour they make the game feel fast and fluid. hell the wall jumping just feels great to dude.

Real player with 49.9 hrs in game

This is a great little game. The music is great, the gameplay is slick and smooth, and wonderfully engaging and rewarding. Leaderboards and multiplayer for those interested. I’m not really a speedrunner type of gamer but this game is designed solely for it and it shines because of it.

There’s also a few platforming puzzles/challenges on some levels to get red orbs. I think what really made this game click for me was that using the freecam to spy one of the harder looking orbs, I saw the area the developer wanted us to take but couldn’t make the heads and tails of approaching or tackling it. Instead I just decided to run straight through and figurtively saw the path unravel before it, between walls and jumps and using the mechanics seamlessly. It was immensely satisfying picking out a relatively efficient, logical path from seemingly nothing instead of having it laid out in front of you.

I played this game on stream with the developers for a few hours, and it’s definitely got something interesting aspects to it. It’s early access, so I expect a decent amount of polish down the line in terms of visuals and juice, but it’s got the movement mechanics down to a tee so far.

This game behaves almost identically to bhopping in the source engine, so anyone familiar with the mechanics from those games would have a very easy time getting into Jumping Jax. It also adds some more interaction in terms of the portal mechanics, which work very similarly to the portal mechanics in Portal, albeit a little on the buggy side (again, it’s in Early Access, so I’ll let that slide). Together, these make for some interesting level concepts that you won’t find in any other game.

I can’t believe I found this game. It is truly amazing! More people should know about this!

This game is basically Super Mario Maker for the PC, but in 3D. At first glance, it may be a simple game with simple graphics and textures, but that’s because it makes it easier to make levels! When you look past that, you enter an amazing game with loads of potential! You can create your own hub worlds, your own levels, or shall we say, parks. You can make parks that have obby courses, a place to just hang out and chat, an open world level, it is what YOU decide! You can play other people’s levels too!

Overview:

I happened to come across this game not too long ago and, having now played 400+ hours of it, I’m really glad I did. The gameplay is fun, the community is welcoming, the creation tools are flexible, and the developer (Bambastic Games) is friendly and attentive to the game and its players. That’s the abridged review, so now for the details:

Quick Note for Parents:

This online game allows all players to type chat messages to each other and create almost anything they want in their own levels. The developer can moderate content whenever possible, but the potential for inappropriate content to eventually surface will always be present in games of this nature. Fortunately, the community tries to stray away from producing questionable content. However, I still highly recommend adult supervision for younger gamers during online play in ANY game. Safety first!
