The Deer God

It's less about action and more about contemplation, inner transformation, and respect for nature. This is a game that focuses more on emotions than on gameplay mechanics. It might not appeal to fans of fast-paced platformers, but it will resonate with those looking for something atmospheric and unusual.

I've been playing this game for about 10 years now off and on. The art never fails to draw me back in. I think the simplicity of this game is exactly what's so endearing about it. I can pick it up whenever I want without feeling like starting over is a massive burden. I can also play it on any laptop I've ever had during the entirety of me owning this game. I'll never not love this game, the music brings me back to the day I got it. I still recommend it to friends even today. For a pixelated side scroller, it's all I need it to be.

this game makes me bug tf out and has caused visceral rage even as a child when this was available for free on my crappy samsung galaxy. 10/10 would recommend if you like pretty pixel art and are slightly masochistic

Boring music, bland visuals that wash together, messy collision boxes, confusing redundant respawn mechanics when thats like the entire message of the game and a preachy one at that, where if a predator kills itself on spikes you are evil and are punished by being made a snake where you can no longer platform in this platforming game so presumable was just waiting to die to come back as something else (even though I had babies to respawn as to begin with). Honestly for such a simple game with such a singular mechanic it gives no room to hide and they failed hard. Took me years to final sit down and give this a proper go, but now I wish I never did.

A hunter gets punished for shooting a sacred deer and now has to live as a deer himself. A quite entertaining Jump n Run with some cool 2,5D retro pixel look. A little tricky but not frustrating. An enjoyable soundtrack. You definetely can buy this game and have some nice hors with it.
