Wow what an experience. Imagine everytime you try to play this game, the sound settings reset every level. Honestly, amazing design choice I couldn’t have thought of a better option :) (dev is working on this based on a recent post).
The levels are challenging, if not a little easy in certain areas, but I think that just adds to the frustration when you hit something comically difficult.
My clear time is 1.5 hours, this was after they added donut hell… this easily ate 30 minutes of time alone.

Adome
ADOME is an emotional single-player first-person adventure that takes us to City of Light, a beautiful futuristic city covered by a dome prepared to withstand the extreme weather caused by climate change.
The city awaits the arrival of the seeds, 7-year-old boys and girls who will be educated and cared for by humanoid robots called instructors. Who also await the arrival of their seeds submerged in a dream.
Suddenly one of them wakes up … The instructor of Ark IB1 feels his seeds and comes out of that dream to carry out the work for which he is programmed.
But in doing so he discovers that something is not going as it should …
Adome gameplay core is based on a satisfying sense of rhythm, smoothness and total control combined with thoughtful and diverse progression.
We are working on an adventure with a solid rhythm on gameplay and story, in which you will enjoy moments of exploration, with smooth parkour movements, combined with frantic action, so each minute you are in the beautiful world of Adome you will feel part of the game.
You will perform parkour, and fight in incredible futuristic settings and beautiful natural environments while immersing yourself in a thrilling story that will catch you from the first minute.
ADOME transports us to the City of Light, a beautiful and spectacular futuristic automated city covered by a dome.
The City of Light was built to house the so-called seeds, but for a strange reason they are not there, and the City is inhabited only by robots with assigned routines that are responsible for keeping it in perfect condition.
Among those robots are the instructors, different from the rest. They are capable of feeling, learning, and thinking for themselves. And with one function: to educate and take care of the seeds, two for each instructor.
Unlike the other robots, the instructors are idle, as they come into operation when they detect one of their seeds. They wait for their arrival.
Unexpectedly, and after 17 years since the city closed its doors and isolated itself from the outside, one of them wakes up… The seed instructor of Ark B1.
IB1 is activated when it detects one of its seeds, the “Y Seed”. But in doing so, he discovers that he is the only instructor who has awakened and that neither “Y Seed” nor any other seed is found in the city… Although he feels a connection with it.
Through his dreams, he can see what she feels. Joy, sadness… Fear.
IB1 begins to ask himself questions, trying to understand what is happening. He will realize that the seed is in danger and that he will have to go on his quest to uncover the dark secret hidden behind the white walls of the city.
“Looking to the future… I discovered that we are children of a memory turned into dust… Supported by our ingenuity and destroyed by our human condition”.
Barrimean Jungle
This is a game so poorly tested that its controls change from the first level to the rest of the game, in the first level when you move the mouse, the players view moves but for every other level after that, you have to hold RMB to move the camera; you also appear to only have fall damage in some levels & a couple of levels don’t have collision on the ground despite there being a floor texture and I’m not even trying to get out of bounds in this mess.

Cloudbuilt
This game is absolutely stellar. I doubt I will play anything better this year, or perhaps even in years to come.
First and foremost, this game grants the player absolute control over the character. The movement is fast and responsive, and the more you learn about the game, the better you can maneuver, to the point where you can do things you never would have thought possible at first. This sense of control is absolutely wonderful because I can apply both my reflexes and timing as well as my puzzle-solving skills to the level in front of me. The level design features branching paths that allow you to tackle the level many different ways, and give the player a sense of exploration. Will you go the easier and slower path, take more difficult shortcut, or will you look for the perfect jump to create your OWN shortcut? The game also allows you to place your own checkpoints, and unlike They Bleed Pixels, they actually mean it, meaning that you get to tackle the level before you on your own terms without compromising the difficulty.

So close…so very very close. This would have been a GOTY contender for me but it slips and wobbles
hard
I’ll start with the good: Cloudbuilt is basically Sonic Generations. Remember boosting to beat your time and precision, quick twitch platforming within a level that has multiple pathways? It’s here. Maybe the budget isn’t, but the excitement and speed definitely is. As is the creativity, only difference here is levels have more vertical movement and therefore aren’t as fast, but the idea is the same.
