The story is well presented. Exploring and searching for secrets makes you feel really good, especially when you manage to find a note or the little secret characters (the cat is my favorite <3). This game is a good example of how to take one mechanic and exploit it to the max: each level reveals a different mechanic exploited to the fullest, with more and more dangers, but always 2 to 3 enemies. Really good work, I love games like this because you can see people's potential. I hope it was a beautiful experience to create it. Keep making games, they are really good. Thanks to your two games, I had a huge desire to explore and know more; you really manage to make people want to play. Thank you, guys. 😊

~FUN INTENSIFIES~ An enjoyable game, I really appreciate my run! Considering it's the developer's first game, I must say I'm really impressed. You can feel it was made with a lot of passion and a lot of reflexion to make it nice. There are a lot of secrets so don't rush it and take your time to discover everything! The world is truly immersive, I was really touched by the story and I liked discovering it all along the levels. The MC is incredibly LOVELY (he's so cuuuute when he walks!! Even when he dies. Which sadly happens often with my pitiful skills). The OST is sweet and touching. I loved it! Especially when you reach the end of the fight with the final Boss~ You can only play with a keyboard. It's not hard as f*** but you have to be careful not to collect the many dumb ways to die (🎶) you can find. I laughed a lot when I didn't saw Mister Death coming my way. The gameplay is fluid, with good ideas and remain simple to understand/play. If you want a funny and short game with a lot of feelings, enter the world of OBSOLETE dear decay. You will enjoy the ride~ I can't wait to see more of Farfelu's new projects! Thank you for making this game, it was fun! Ke…

An atmospheric, smooth little experience, but I wish it supported a controller.

Obsolete is an aptly named 2D retro pixel platformer, one of literally thousands polluting the Steam marketplace. In this case it's very poorly made, featuring the old dead tired lazy "dark foreground, light background" schtick that hundreds of other pixel platformers use, because it's a lazy way to avoid having to do foreground art properly. Which goes hand in hand with the use of retro pixel "art" as a lazy way to avoid having to do proper PC graphics, because that's something that apparently eludes thousands of indie "developers". Resolution and controls are locked and can't be changed. This along with the deplorably bad, ugly pixel "art" (which looks bad even compared to other lazy pixel "art" games), and weak gameplay makes this impossible to recommend.
