Micro Platformer

Micro Platformer

This game is one of the best platformers I’ve played. Here’s why:

1. This game is like many platformers, minus the BS. Sick of enemies whose movements are hard to control or predict? Sick of sitting around, waiting for frustrating cycles which make every death feel like a massive waste of time? My two favourite games of all-time on Steam, Celeste and Super Meat Boy, both drove me insane with features like these. This game is the first proper platformer I’ve played which doesn’t, and it’s made me realize just how much I hated those sections in both of those games. You respawn near-instantly, and it’s just pure precision platforming. No BS, no cycles, no enemies, no missiles or lasers or RNG. It’s just you versus the game.

This game is great. It has its goods and its bads though. First of all I want to praise its simplistic aesthetic, a black background with simple levels. There is no sound in this game so you can you put music on listen to that whilst playing or put a video on in the background and just have a nice stress-free time.

The bad thing is that level 1, the tutorial, and level 2 (there is nothing wrong with these levels) is nice and relaxing but then it just switches to level 3 which is a big difficulty change taking me personally a while to complete it also has to many stages to get through for a third level. If I was the developer I would put a level in between 2 & 3 and I feel like when playing both of those levels that’s when level 3 will become easier to complete.

Milli & Greg

Lovely little platformer in the spirit of Celeste, Super Meat Boy and Kaizo Mario Romhacks, super charming and original.

Each level is a one screen precision platforming challenges to rescue the kitty (Save the Animals!). Beautiful artwork and the soundtrack is a banger.

The difficulty is a little all over the place. Hard levels are followed by easy ones and vice verse. But the game never became repetitive thanks to a wide variety of obstacles. I hope to see more!

Sure at first look it reminds you of Celeste, but don’t get fooled, it’s entirely its own thing. The level mechanics and physics makes it feel unique. I’m loving the art style and music, will definitely finish it!

EDIT

Just 100%ed the game. What an experience! The last episodes are a thrill. So satisfactory. If you’re a platformer fan do yourself a favor and play it!

TLDR : 8/10 Great Classic Adventure experience that is fun to play!

Youtube 5 Minute review

The Lightbringer is a great experience that reminds me of classics like Spyro and Crash, as well as Legend of Zelda.

The levels, puzzles, and collectibles are more reminiscent of Spyro and Crash, where you can explore, discover, and collect at your own pace, just to get that full clear stamp of achievement. The baddies on the other hand nod more toward Legend of Zelda, needing you to understand a bit about how they work to navigate them. Boss fights are arena style big bads, and need some quick thinking to understand movesets, and identify ways to damage the enemy.

LOST EGG

LOST EGG

Really fun game. I love platformers and this gave me such a refreshing challenge in gameplay. I would highly recommend if you want a challenging platformer that’s also really chill : )

Two dollars gave me two hours of frustrating “punch the table” fun. There are only 5 levels and the replay value is none. Do yourself a favor (at the time of writing) pause the game and spam jump to do super jumps. Have fun destroying the game. That alone is worth two dollars for me. If you were expecting more…then that might be your fault.

QUICKLY, QUACKLEY! REVIEW

QQ (Quickly, Quackley!) really is the shovel knight of the ZX spectrum, the aesthetic feels like I could be playing the game on the ZX spectrum. The levels challenge you in a way that really makes you celebrate when you reach the interview in time. Each level feels unique and some have multiple routes if you decide to speed-run the game! The movement feels precise and nice to control making it good to play. The story has humour that cools you down before the next world. The music is incredible and doesn’t get repetitive.

Bloody love it. Really really fun and a really good difficulty. The soundtrack and art are awesome and has a tonne of personality. Does a really good job of being tough as hell but always being clear what you need to do to progress as well as feeling familiar but having a unique feel to the gameplay.

Update after finish it - This was a brilliant game. Really hard but I never felt cheated, every death was my fault and I knew why I died and how i could do better. Really really good level design and Quackly felt great to control. SO much charm loved it

Bubble Breaking

Bubble Breaking

Bubble Breaking is an action arcade game. Players can use mouse or gamepad to pop bubbles. The bubbles come in different sizes (depths) and they rise at different speeds. When bubbles are popped points are scored. The smaller, faster bubbles score more points than the bigger, slower bubbles. There is also an accuracy multiplier. Each successive popped bubble increases the multiplier to a max of 10x the base point value. If the player misses a bubble, whether by mouse or keyboard, the multiplier is resets back to 1x. Beware of the ‘stink’ bubbles! If you accidently pop one of them your score will be dragged down with the fishes.
