Aya's Journey

Aya's Journey is a "template" flip. The Russian asset flip scammer behind this filled out a basic template in the craptastic Cocos2D (a blight on gaming), changed the name/reskinned a couple of things, and put it on Steam as if it was their own game. Aya's Journey is an unabashed, lazy ripoff of Limbo (Copyright Playdead/Microsoft Game Studios, 2010). Many lazy "amateur" developers don't pay attention to their obligations under copyright law, and often steal the ideas of actual, real game developers without credit, such as the "developer" here has done. At this stage no legal action has been taken by Playdead/Microsoft Game Studios against the "developer" here, but it's never off the table, as previous copyright law cases have shown. Putting aside the unethical intellectual bankruptcy of stealing someone else's game concept for profit, this is also breaking that unwritten law of stealing other people's game ideas... you should at least try to do better than the game you're ripping off. Aya's Journey is considerably worse than Limbo. Boogygames Studios have shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab, through this a…

Probably developed as a 'just for fun' project by someone relatively new to game making. The game is a lot like Limbo and even has a few points where I would say it is pretty good. But overall I would not recommend since the game is neither finished nor polished. I do still urge the developer to continue developement as I do see potential.

This game ain´t definitely like Limbo. It´s just a jump game that looks like it. If you wanna run, jump and die thousand times because of the bugs in this game, go for it. The game is not finished and I don´t think they´ll fix something in the future. Don´t buy it.

Well...I don’t understand why there are so many negative reviews, everyone compares it to some kind of Limbo or something like that, I’ve never played it so I have no idea what it is, so whether it’s a good thing to compare or not no need So, what exactly is about the game? Simple for 30-60 minutes, I'm confused by "To be continued at the end" but that's okay. Complex? No, simple, easy riddles and obstacles, you just need to understand the timings. Something else? Well, it’s a little buggy in terms of control, it doesn’t respond to the ESC, you can only get out with Alt+F4, and nothing else, is it worth the money? I honestly don’t even remember when I bought it, but I think it all depends on what you are waiting for, I would play purely for fun, besides, it is often discounted for less than a dollar

I've played like 10 minutes, the rest of the time the game was running on the background because there is no music so I never noticed it's there. So yeah, problem number 1 - there's no music on Linux. Which makes the whole experience more dark than fun. Also, so far it's like some neurotic Super Mario. Jump up and down, die, again, die, again, etc. Moving with the arrows is a bit unnatural after all the games using wasd and also so far it's hard to measure the jump well. As a whole, for now, it looks too hard to me. Of course, after 10 mins I cannot claim I know the game, I'll give it probably another half an hour, but so far it's just not so fun to play it.

I got to the part where you spend 20-30 seconds lugging a box up a hill to do 1 difficult jump. It was instantly extremely tedious and annoying...
