Woodle Tree Adventures

Just felt quite boring to play if I'm being honest. Personally not for me.

This game is a really bad 3D-plattformer! The camera and the controls are really buggy for me, which makes the game unplayable for me. The Spawns are also completly random, after you die. Either you Spawn at the beginnig of the Levels or random somewhere. Sometimes you don't respawn at all if you've fell off the map. There is not really a story and not even a main menu. Pressing "ESC" closes the game, which is really dumb. I would definitely not recommend this game for achievement hunters!!!

Noice. Woodle Tree Adventures 5/10 Heisen

I really wanted to like this game. It's cute, and it's got a great aesthetic and some nice 3d platforming. It could use a little more story, but it's pretty good for a single dev game. But the platforming part is just bad. The camera is really iffy. The controls feel really slippery. Then there's an ice level that amplifies it. By reducing friction? I'm not sure. In a way that doesn't feel like an ice level should feel. It just feels like if you don't run and jump and hit all the jumps you fall to your death. The checkpoints seem to be progression based, and activate once you're a distance past them in the level. But that's not well defined, so if you fall behind a checkpoint from above, you go to the prior one. Which is generally the start of the level. Oh and there's one checkpoint that's on top of a crab enemy for some reason. So you respawn, to die again, to respawn at the start of the level. The camera is "fixed" but you can zoom out to see more, which is necessary in places. It feels really claustrophobic most of the time. But it periodically resets on various triggers, so you're constantly fighting with it while trying to platform. And the achievements are just trying…

Simple, cheap, short and nice project. Another solo developer's diploma? Overall it's fine, but the camera, mmm... how to put it lightly... the camera is bad 🙃
