Race The Sun

Race The Sun

You have probably heard the expression “Less is more”. And it pretty much applies here because this game is quite simple with minimalistic design. But just because it is that way doesn’t mean that you will be able to complete it in few hours or feel that there’s something missing. Let me tell you more about it.

Let’s start with the story. There is not other way to put it but to say that there isn’t one. Yep, it is simple as that. Basically you are piloting a spacecraft fueled by solar energy and the sun is your death timer. And for this game it couldn’t have been better. On the bright side you don’t need to worry about the story being to complex, bad or uninteresting. This game is more about highest scores and tense gameplay.

Do I recommend this game? YES!

Here’s why:

The game starts off slow… and you progressively learn to dodge random obsticles along the way. However the further into the game you get, the more hectic it becomes, the more intense the dodging becomes and the more… freedom. You feel genuine freedom when playing this game when you reach good speed and is able to turn on a dime.

Each day you get a new set of semi-randomly generated levels to play through and the leaderboards exists only map-per-map so they reset the global leaderboards every few days. Whether you have played this game for a few hours or hundreds of hours, you can not only feel the achivement of getting better … but you can also see a tangiable achivement of getting better as you end up on the leaderboards.

you want to play a randomly generated runner game? this one is the perfect fit. you gain abilities, based on how many levels you’ve beaten and how many coins you’ve collected, to be able to purchase better versions of your abilities. like more hover time, a doublejump recharging more quickly, a jetpack or being able to shoot more bullets in the shooting sections. progress feels great! and the 3 castles are HUGE. was very fun to explore and play through those, but be sure to have all the necessary upgrades for it, otherwise you won’t be able to complete them. you unlock abilities before you hit a dead end, usually these abilities allow you to clear the castles. sometimes i’d say it is better to upgrade these abilities a bit first, as that will make the castles much easier. so play until you hit the gate, before you do the castles. that worked very well for me.

Melody’s Escape

Melody’s Escape

Melody’s Escape is a deceptively simple yet challenging obstacle-based rhythm game with a lot of potential versatility in playstyle. While still in Early Access, it has almost no technical errors and the developer is extremely active, so I would recommend it to people who enjoy rhythm games, especially people who are looking for a different type of procedurally-generated music gameplay. I am terrible at obstacle running games, but I have never ever found the platforming element of this game to be obtrusive or overwhelming because it integrates so well with the beat and feels so smooth on a sensory level.

Real player with 99.8 hrs in game

Summary

Melody’s Escape best represents rhythm synthesizer that generates various movement keys depending on the theme and digital nature of your favorite songs. The environment is always altered between each song you choose so everything is fairly different and randomized. As such since this is a rhythm game, a lot of gameplay is created based on the music’s movement. Some parts of a song can jump from being very fast paced to having a sudden drop in movement.
