Agartha

You're going to spend 30 minutes playing all the levels and then hit a brick wall of waiting for 10 minutes for lava pools to drain then die when you touch a single orange pixel. 10 out of the 12 hours of this game were watching lava move out of the way to get to an exit. There's waaaay too much lava that just takes so long to get around. Characters are pretty one sided. you'll use Ninja, Esper, and wizard almost every level. Farmer is an absolutely useless character. He can't angle his pick upwards so i can only go down when mining. Robots useless because he can't jump worth ♥♥♥♥ and any level you would use oil to get yourself up there's lava to burn it. his mining style leaves him totally exposed. alchemist has NO mobility and there's no level that you need to turn anything into lava. Geomancer has no mobility either and his abilities are slow to effect and only has like 2 good uses if you want to turn a large area cold or hot. Also his mining leaves him exposed to any lava. Just annoying.

Beat this game on switch a few years back and loved it. I had no idea there was a a pc version so here I am again. This game is a hidden gem, I highly recommend it.

Agartha is a neat platformer with puzzle elements largely concerning the diggable environments and the game's per-pixel temperature model. The game consists of 64 stages, some of which are only accessible by using an alternate exit in a previous stage. Various characters with different abilities can be unlocked by using a combination of meat (from defeating enemies) and gems (found scattered throughout stages, usually requiring the player to take an alternate route through the level). Each character varies from the others by way of their movement speed, jump height, health and air meters, as well as their 4 abilities. Some stages are clearly designed for specific characters and not all stages can be cleared by all characters. Stages are entered with the selected character's stock of ammunition for each of their 4 abilities, and some of the puzzle design is based on the player not only selecting an appropriate character but managing their ammunition in a way which allows them to dig or traverse their way to the exit without dying to enemies or the environment. It took me about 4.5 hours to beat the game, and another 2 hours 15 minutes to finish 100%ing it. I purchased the game on s…

It's pretty good. Reminds me of some old physics based DOS games

The music was alright I guess 3/10

It's pretty good, but controller support either doesn't work properly, or it's just way to hard to figure out how to get it working. Also the game is a little overpriced @ time of writing. 5.79? Nah. Get it on sale if you want something a little different and don't mind playing a game with a keyboard that would be way better on a controller.
