What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Ruffy and the Riverside is a charming and visually appealing puzzle platformer with a creative texture-swapping mechanic and relaxing atmosphere, but players consistently criticize the shallow puzzle design that fails to evolve beyond simple solutions, excessive dialogue and cinematics that interrupt gameplay, and missing basic PC functionality like keyboard rebinding.
This might be a really good puzzle/action platformer. It certainly has a lot creativity and uniqueness in it's presentation. Sadly it's missing basic functionality. There is no key rebinding for keyboard and mouse. This is NOT some nice to have accessibility stuff for convenience - it's basic functionality for many gamers. There are left handed or disabled people, those with different keyboard layouts like AZERTY or those conditioned to a certain layout through decades of muscle memory - many of them cannot play a game without key rebinding. For real, this has one of the most bonkers key layouts I've ever witnessed. 'Z' for speak, 'V+B' for some actions? These devs clearly never heard of QWERTZ keyboard layouts and probably never played anything with native pc input devices. The devs also don't react to my questions on the forum. In fact, this sadly seems to be abandoned, as there are no reations to any other topics. I'd be happy to switch this to positive if the game could be improved. But I fear this will remain unplayable for many people.4 found this helpful
I love the look of this game. Mechanically it plays fine. I personally don't find the gameplay loop engaging. The swamp mechanic doesn't feel very good. You may find mileage with this game. In my opinion there are considerably better puzzle platformers out there worth your time.2 found this helpful
Its a charming platformer with a fun texture swapping mechanic and catchy theme song. I recommend it though I think its unfortunate that the developers went for a deep and involved story with so so much hand holding and npc's which talk way too much. I would rather have liked the Super Mario 64 approach with a little bit of story, an open hub world to explore and doors which require stars to open to progress in the game. This was what the Steam Next Fest demo felt like, so I dont know why the developers decided to change the final game to be this hand holding grandiose story thing..1 found this helpful
childishly good
A cool, colorful and charming 3D platformer with good music and a fun aesthetic.
I love this game. It's very fun and whimsy.
