Moth Planet

Mixed feelings about my experience with this one. So would recommend mostly but this is ultimately a mixed review. Pros: -Super creative and endearing design and concept overall -Moths rule! (haha) -interesting environments and changes in challenges across time -challenging without being impossible for a platformer -Great sound design and amusing writing -Engaging exploration the whole way through. Did not feel bored at any point. Cons: -the controls feel funky for me. I don't know how else to describe it. Sometimes I felt I had pintpoint accuracy. While other moments I felt like I was bouncing around out of control. Just inconsistent mechanics sometimes -enemies that lock onto you are also inconsistent in how they pursue you -it is unclear consistently where the hiding or secret bugs are in some zones. Can be exhausting traversing a giant and challenging obstacle room just to find out it was just you needing to press down on the ground in one section you started in. -there's a few points where you find a secret path that adjoins to a previous area without realizing it and now you have to retraverse the entire map because it won't allow you to go back (devastating!) -flashing the…

Meeting NPCs to "interview" them and having that be the whole goal of your exploration of the world is kind of a cute concept to base a chill platform/adventure style game around, but ultimately I think it kind of overstays its welcome, and doesn't really utilize its ideas that well. When it comes to the interviews/writing, it feels like most of the NPCs don't really have a whole lot of substance to talk about. You might expect there to be a pieced-out plot arc coming through the little snippets of dialogue, but it sort of just never comes together in that way and ends up feeling sort of loose overall, with the big "wham" revelations feeling more like an afterthought that just falls out of the sky near the end rather than a satisfying pay off. I know it's somewhat unrealistic given the number of NPCs vs the size of the development team as well, but it loses out on a lot of potential character by having so many be the same generic looking template version. For the most part the movement feels pretty alright- having three different fly-height buttons was a little messy but overall isn't too noticeable during the game since you're going to be using the mid-range one for 99% of the c…

A very cute, fun little exploration game! bouncy moff :>

Game was awesome, fun bouncy fast movement. The final area was really annoying though and I didn't enjoy it. Also buggies :3

Very fun game! Would definitely recommend any platformer fans play this game BY THE WAY I was stuck on 251/252 moths, and the map said I had spoken to them all already. Turns out, Magdalena doesn't have a map hint. I was able to get a hint as to their location by checking the save file for npc's I hadn't spoken to (I definitely could've found them had I just kept looking, but oh well)

Fun short and sweet game! I really like the movement, as well as the art style. It's cute, mixed with some mysterious aspects regarding the world! <3
