The Abyss (2023)

funni game

2D Dark souls. executed perfectly. Game of the Year. Amazing idea. it is a gaming master piece.

In this game you move through each level until you reach the end where you encounter a boss that you must defeat in order to finish the level. The learning curve isn't too step because you only need to learn a handful of controls. As you progress through the game the bosses get harder almost at the same rate your skill increases which makes the game always challenging. A better tutorial would be helpful but it doesn't take very long to learn the controls anyways, a better tutorial would just help you learn faster. The only REAL complaint I have is that there is no window between when you encounter a boss and when they start attacking you, a quick 2-3 second window between when you encounter a boss and their first attack would be nice. Overall this is a decently well made game and for only 5 dollars its worth a try.

I like the concept that's being provided here, as a skill-based side-scrolling platformer where you have to dodge tons of bullets and die in one hit. I appreciate the developer for finishing their dream project. The problem is that I don't really like anything else about the game. The worst part is how dark it is. Thankfully, the playable character has eyes, but when you have a black character on a black background with black ground makes it very hard to see anything other than the bullets, and to properly dodge things as a result. It also doesn't help that the entire character appears to be one massive square hitbox (although it might not be,…
