Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players appreciate this student project for its charming art, solid animations, and genuine heart in its design, with most finding it a worthwhile experience for the price. The main complaints center on a janky character controller limited to eight directional movement, occasional bugs like a softlock issue with the sword, and a story that feels underdeveloped, though checkpoints mitigate frustration from technical issues. Overall, it's recognized as an impressive passion project that outperforms many commercial games despite its rough edges.
Honestly, for what it is, decent game. The story was semi there, but I didn't encounter any bugs, the combat system was fine, and I liked the addition of little collectibles. Considering how much I paid for it, good game.
not for me, not even for free
beautiful game deserve's way more popularity. The fact that this was made by SCHOOL student's is genuinely crazy.
That was a nice little game. And a big respect for the nice animations and that you wrote everything from scratch in C++. Only some of the sounds are a bit strange. Good work!
A short and really charming student project game. Biggest downside is the character controller, its really jank and you feel it throughout the entire game. There is only 8 directions you can walk in which isn't the end of the word but might make playing on a controller feel foolish. Encounter 1 softlock involving the sword being stuck in shoot mode after being deployed. A restart was needed to fix the issue but the checkpoints frequency made sure it wasn't a nuisance. However despite that you can feel the heart put into this project otherwise, from both its art, level design and general vibe. Much more so than some other products I had the displeasure of experiencing. If playing a somewhat janky student project with some actually soul in it and a fuzzy main character sounds like a good time, free free to give Avani a shot.
