Mezmeratu

It's not very polished or particularly fun, but I greatly enjoyed the vibe. It takes about an hour or two to get through the full game. It has no save feature at all, which means you'll be restarting from the beginning of the game if you ever shut it off. I played this using Cheat Engine because it would take way too long to get through it conventionally for my taste.

PROS: - Fantastic visuals (especially the 3D cutscenes and backgrounds. The art is great all the way through) - Great soundtrack - Fun movement. I wouldn't say the movement is necessarily good, but it has a really enjoyable "floatiness" - Reasonable price for the content provided, especially if on sale - Memorable levels / Great level & character design - Solid difficulty progression. No level feels out of place in terms of difficulty - A lot of charm CONS: - Short overall game length - Little to no post-game content and replay value - Unfair hitboxes or poorly-placed spikes. I died to BS wall spikes more than anything else. - Poor level pacing. Some levels (like the ice one) overstayed their welcome. - Weird level design. There is supposed to be a procedural generation aspect to the levels, but it seems inconsistent or even non-existent at times. - Unclear secret worlds(?). It seems like their are secret worlds (as insinuated by the "?" on the start screen map), but there seems to be no good indication on how to get to them. - No save function CONCLUSION: If you strip away the visuals and music, the game itself is like a 4/10, but as a whole experience, I would giv…

Ah, what a lovely treat I've stumbled upon. A potent aura emits from this one, very rich, I quite like it. I very much also enjoyed the movement, and when I'd played enough to gain some confidence, it felt pretty cool manoeuvring about like a ninja or something cool. Story is in tassles; and I liked it, I don't know if there was meant to be a cohesion weaving through, but in a sort of dreamy way it felt natural to be the way it was. Not quite sure how to get into the question mark secret levels (if there are some like it seems there may be), but it's nice not knowing too for a change. A visually nice game, and again, I quite liked the way the controls felt, I even came to appreciate the mild exceptions you have to make in the platforming sometimes, you know, like in those amateur platformer games where the collision sometimes feels a bit arbitrary, in the case of this game I quite liked it though, gave it more charm I guess, having to adapt to slightly different tactics with the hazards. And of course, the music was very, very good, felt alive in a similar way to how music from lbp sounds. Overall I had a very good time.

The opening cinematic for this game mezmorized me and I was really looking forward to the rest of the game. The rest of the game in question turned out to pretty good: the levels were pretty fun, its fun to control when you get the hang of things! The art itself is incredible in many areas (although in others, it looks like bad NFTs); its further helped by the fact that I was playing on a CRT monitor, it looked absolutely incredible! What turned me off from even finishing the first level was: - The sound design. The music in this game ranges from decent 8-bit music to bad lo-fi music. More important is the screams in the background of the game that set up for a twist I don't need to see, because I can guess it with how predictable it is and how blatantly its set up (is...is the main character killing people in real?? hallucination?? woah!!) and the screams particular actually got so grading that I ended up just taking off my headphones (alternatively I could've muted the game and turned off something else) - for a game where the focus is on art I was surprised to see a lives system. I was further surprised when I put the game in windowed mode and realized that the lives counter wa…

good platformer! its frustrating but u get the hang of it and its addicting. Too short tho plus i kinda wish the bolts had a purpose but its chill. Visuals are fire

Weird wacky! Like a licensed game for a Nicktoon that exists in a universe where everyone is on acid. Your SNES could never handle this! All hail Jacob Jazz!
