Origami Lovers

First run took me ~15 Minutes, its a fun little Indie game. Lock your game at 60 FPS, otherwise the flying physics are broken.

The controls are terrible. You can barely look up or look down. The view jumps all over the place. The idea is okay.

I really wanted to enjoy this game, going into it. I really did. The art style is really nice, and the idea of traversing through the island is fun. But the gameplay is incredibly simplistic and for some reason the game had some sort of micro stutter all the time which just made it feel very clunky and in general not fun to play. The team clearly had a vision that just did not quite work out. They still clearly do somewhat know what they're doing, so I'm hoping they learned a lot from this experience! For what ever it's worth, let's just mention I played though the game in 12 minutes and collected 6 crowns.

TL;DR - Origami Lovers was made by people with delusions of grandeur, hoping their super basic game with basically no mechanics and a garbage physics system would become a major speedrunning game. Do not buy. The game starts you off with only the basic ability to jump. During the course of your playthrough of the single level, you will gain the ability to transform into two origami - a crane granting you the ability to glide, and eventually a goat to perform a ram attack that breaks certain walls of objects. There are crowns to collect, scattered and generally hidden from view. These earn you nothing - not concept art, not music tracks, not additional levels. Nothing other than achievements, and... You don't want to try to get all of the achievements in this game anyway. The achievements involve playing through this same single level over 100 times, collecting over 1000 crowns, using the glide move for a literal hour total, and being at the top of the leaderboards. Somehow, they thought that a game with a measly three abilities, two of which must be earned at specific locations, forcing you to take the same general route, was supremely replayable and warranted a speedrunning emph…

Nett. Leider kann man den Y-Achse nicht invertieren

I'm absolutely in LOVE with this game! <3 I first found Origami Lovers while scrolling through speedrun com 's newest games, and I'm so glad I did! The collectible crowns, in-game leaderboard and various skips/tricks to be found continue to bring me back for more! The Hardcore mode can be a bit tricky at times, especially if you're trying to go for a fast time or to collect any specific number of crowns (10, 25 or even 35+).. but, it's still a lot of fun and adds a nice challenge to the run! On the topic of the speed run, if you've never speed run before, or you're looking to add another run to your list, I'd highly recommend you try it out! As someone with almost 19 hours, 50+ runs, and 500+ total crowns collected, I'm still finding new ways to play and save time during my runs! To summarize, this game is adorable and so much fun to play and speed run! If it's on your wishlist, or even if it's not, please do give it a try! If you're a fan of cute platformers, I promise you'll love Origami Lovers!
