Basil and the Isles of Spice

[h1] Simple platformer set on small islands. Run on water, double jump and glide being pushed by wind currents. Fairly short, about 20 minutes. Controls are mostly ok, sometimes a bit clunky though. Overall it's ok, skip if you don't have time because you'll not miss much. [/h1]

I can't play this game, I tried it with 30, 60 and 90 fps on Steam Deck, but the character moves without input and the game is very, very laggy.

It's short, it's charming, makes a good proof of concept but performance is quite bad so I bumped down to the lowest video settings. The game was not designed efficiently to be run in 4:3 as some features are cut off. Would like to see a full game in this setting!

Reviewing so maybe it gets fixed - at archaic arch, when you get the crystal shard & jump down, if you spin attack the brother & fall off that small rock as it spawns like 8 shells, the game softlocks or hard locks where you can only press x & purple smoke happens but you can't stop the conversation nor continue it.

*happy lizard sounds*

Was fun, had the camera clip into walls a bit but it never got stuck.
