Amber

Amber is a solodev passion project created over four years with a budget of $0, and I must commend Gouache Airship for putting in that hard work to create something entirely from scratch. It pains me to have to leave a negative review knowing how much blood, sweat and tears went into creating this game. Toning down the game's post-processing effects and fixing the auto-saves would improve the game a great deal. Post-processing effects appear to be applied multiple times and brings the Amber to a crawl even on Low on my 4070ti. Auto-saves would place me in a perpetual state of death, or respawn me inside of a wall completely stuck and unable to move. Fixing these issues are the very first things that need to be done to begin tapping into the incredible amount of potential that Amber has. If you're a fan of Egg-Likes, or the weirder side of Steam's kusoge like Candice DeBeBe, Goblin America or Yohjo Simulator, you WILL find something to love about Amber. Grab it on sale. Edit: Spelling.

I thought Amber would be a good game visually and gameplay wise. Boy was i wrong! The art looks like a beginner's Blender project while the jumping is too floaty. I wish the hammer would at least swing when you attack but it does not. I'm glad i got a key for the game because $30 dollars does not seem worth it. I'd buy it for $3 at most 0/10 Edit: At the time of this review it was 31 dollars but i still wouldnt buy it for the amount currently. Currently being 15 dollars

Confusing controls and confusing game play.

Can't recommend at current price tag.

instructions were not clear and was not very easy to move around and use items and jump

An ambitious platformer made by a solo dev, with a decent ost, art direction and bright thematic world. To my surprise the platforming was tight for the majority of the play through. Though there are some cons you would expect from a solo dev team, like poor optimization, missing animations and an unpolished presentation. The price is also a little steep for how much content you're getting here. I was able to finish this in one sitting. My hope is the dev takes what we learned here and improve on the formula for future endeavors.
