6Souls

One hit kill spikes, spiders, and bosses. A dash that feels inconsistent (behaves different for cardinal directions compare to diagonal) with no I frames. A ramp up to level after level of precision platforming that felt out of place. Not my cup of tea but it may be yours? Marking recommended with hesitation as it's not for me but I could have done more to know that ahead of time. I'm dropping out at the end of chapter 4.

6Souls is a retro-styled 2D action platformer developed by BUG-Studio and published by Ratalaika Games S.L., and it embraces classic design principles with a clear affection for old-school platforming traditions. From the outset, the game establishes itself as a focused, tightly scoped adventure that values precision, repetition, and gradual mastery over modern spectacle or sprawling systems. You play as Jack, accompanied by his loyal dog Butch, as the two venture into the ominous Clifford Castle to uncover the fate of a vanished family and free six trapped souls whose power lies at the heart of the mystery. The structure of 6Souls is firmly rooted in level-based progression, with dozens of compact stages spread across multiple themed areas. Each zone introduces its own visual identity and hazard patterns, ranging from crumbling castle interiors to outdoor ruins and mechanical corridors. Rather than opting for a fully open-ended map, the game leans into a straightforward forward momentum that keeps the pace brisk. Levels are short but dense, often requiring players to memorize trap placements, enemy movement, and timing windows. Instant-death spikes, collapsing platforms, and movi…

Хотел сначала похволить игру, но чем дальше проходил тем менее интереснее и изобретательнее становились уровни. Разработчики выкрутили умение рывка на максимум, но сделали при этом именно его максимально неуправляемым. Я играл на Steam Deck, на 8Bitdo pro 2, на китайской погремушке за 1000 рублей, везде ощущается рывок не стабильным и сложно контроллируемым. И не важно на кристовине или на стике. Я с огромным удовольствием прошел Celeste и Meat Boy, и эта игра вначале давала надежду на хороший и удобный геймплей, но нет, после уже третьего рывка все уровни начинают рассыпаться и бесить. Песик милый.

I lost a lot more than 6souls with this game

Really fun platformer! Reminds me a lot of Celeste but being the dog sometimes is such a cute and fun little feature in this game! Played through the entire game and had a blast :)

A small yet pleasant platformer. Dont expect too much complexity from both story nor gameplay, or even from the graphics. The Keywords are: -Minimal -Short -Enjoyable Give it a try if you are into complex platformers Meat-Boy Style. Otherwise skip it.
