Aefen Fall

I get the game concept, and the environments look very nice. However, $7 for this seems steep. It's quite buggy in ways that affect the gameplay (hit registration, respawning bugs, collision) (I imagine the main appeal of this is in trying to speedrun the sections), and for a normal, non-speedrunning player can be completed in less than half an hour. I get it's a student project but those are usually free rather than paid products.

So close to being awesome. just needs a ton of polish. Very buggy. To list a few: your arms stretch to animate to the nearest edge, you can fall without a respawn anim and be stuck, the path finder sometimes doesn't work or will show you every possible direction instead of the "hard" path like stated. It is difficult to think of them all but there were many more. Just needed to be play tested and fixed up. Could be something great.

Cool concept, poor execution. I love first person parkour platformers, but this one was very laggy and full of bugs and glitches that made collisions a nightmare and the flow of the game very hard to follow. 3/10

Not even a game, not worth of playing under any circumstances

They really need a middle button.. Graphics: 6.5/10 There's nothing wrong with any of the graphics, but there something that just feels off. The look of the Victorian Era Steam punk London feels good and fresh, yet it also cheap in a way. Graphic glitches and strange animations seem to creep in to take this down notches. I didn't get upset by any of it, but don't go in expecting to be wow'd either. Gameplay: 6.5/10 This is where i'm torn. The game has a great potential. Let me sell it for you. Mirror's edge meets steam punk London with a dash of Harry Potter Wizarding. The potential was great. The execution was rough. The game only lasted about a hour for myself and even then it was wearing thin. It almost felt like a mobile endless runner, mixed with horrible glitches and moments of bad hilarity when my character would make a jump then start climbing into the sky. The spells added in to make game-play more than just a runner, are a novel idea. Crystal bridges can be formed, time can be stopped and all of it done in a way that makes you think this game could of been made for speed runners if done right. I think and feel this was almost like a demo game or college project that got…

So this game is... At its core a free runner. You don't shoot things or use your magic for anything but to assist your efforts with moving forwards it has some cool mechanics and it would have been awesome to see it be longer and with fewer bugs. Based on some of the other reviews and the credits its seems like it was a school project and with what was accomplished, I give them props, kudos, job well done. As a game from a playable stand point tho its incomplete and needs a lot of fixing. I enjoyed the art style, they had actual voice content not just text, the levels were mapped well other than a few places where you get stuck on slides and one spot I was confused where to go. Well done for a student indeed.
