The Shenanigans of Cherry and Trix

So I don't usually do reviews. But I really wanted to say something about this game. I was really pleasantly surprised with it. The characters are cute and likeable, the gameplay is fun, and the story takes some interesting turns. I liked how each area in the game looks different from the last and has different gimmicks. While a familiar loop became evident by the second area, the game kept throwing new things at me for the whole game so I never got bored. And the switching mechanic between the two heroes was cool and more important than just for combat. The voice acting did have some moments where the audio was a tad fuzzy, so it kinda took me outta the game when it happens (like maybe 3 times?). Also, some of the puzzles were really hard to figure out and were not obvious at all. But at least each level has this fairy that tells you how to do the puzzles if you talk to her. You just gotta pay a small amount of your ingame money. Most puzzles were okay tho. Pros: Good art Nice variation Good story Fresh gimmicks till the end Easy mode and Hard modes appreciated Secret Levels Cons: Audio a tad fuzzy sometimes Some puzzles almost require you to talk to Cloo and pay some ingame c…

RPG Maker strikes again! The Shenanigans of Cherry and Trix is one of hundreds of low effort retro-pixel RPG Maker asset/construction kit flips spamming the Steam catalog, made with the RPG Maker video game construction kit... in their own words, "Our easy to use tools are simple enough for a child." Like all RPG Maker "games", this is essentially a bunch of low quality/canned assets from RPG Maker coupled with a cringeworthy high school anime club fan fiction. In fairness not all of the assets are flipped here (only most of them). Because some of them are done so badly in MS-Paint, it almost caused a rupture in space-time that sent Bill Gates back in time to stop himself from creating MS-Paint. He certainly would have if he had known it would be used to create this abomination. The artwork here truly is terrible, it's a blend of old retro pixel "art" used as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics (RPG Maker assets), and some the amateurish MS-Paint style drawings (I won't deign to call these "illustrations"). It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget to arrange someone who can do graphics properly, or lack of talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the gam…

This game was very cute! I really liked it. You can tell a lot of heart and effort went into this. Good: -The characters were so cute and lovable. A real high point from this game. -The story had me interested to see where it was going to go. Although it does take a bit of time to get going -The music was so well done. There were times I just stopped and just enjoyed how good it was. -Gameplay isnt super deep but the 2 characters having different abilities kept me on my toes. the OK: -I did feel the levels got a bit repetitive at times but it had enough variety that is wasn't a major issue. The later levels especially change things up in a nice way. There was also hidden areas to find and entire bonus levels to discover. The dev could have gotten away without doing this but took the effort to do it. So that was cool the bad: -There was an enemy that instakills you if it touches you near the end, while I get that it was meant to be a major heightened threat, it was always frustrating to die to them. Despite this game certainly not being perfect, I am really happy I played it. It was well worth the money and I would definitely recommend, especially for rpg make fans.

You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll probably get attacked by snakes and die a few times like I did. Okay, all joking aside, I was not expecting this game to pull on my heart like it did. Full disclosure: the dev is my friend, but I bought this game on my own and this is my honest opinion on it. I don't normally play top down games like this. It's usually not really my thing, but I definitely wanted to give this game a shot. And after playing it, I've come to the conclusion that it's honestly such a good game. I thoroughly enjoyed the story and gameplay, am now emotionally attached to the characters, and am determined to unlock as much as I can in the game. There's a lot to do and from what I can tell, it has good replayability. (There are entire levels that I haven't unlocked yet). The game is about 5 1/2 -6 hours long, depending on how you play it and it's honestly such a fun time. I streamed this game and everyone had a blast with it. I thought the dual protagonist/switch mechanic was very unique and really gave a different dimension to the game. Each character has their own skills that only they can use and you have to make sure that neither of them gets too lo…

This game: mostly lighthearted, subtext "I can't believe we elected Trump." The sequel Penelope Syndrome: death everywhere, subtext "I can't believe we elected Trump twice." Edit: okay, I retract the "lighthearted" part after area 4.
