Batta? Batta!

CUTE SHORT GAME I RECOMMEND <3<3<3

This game was very short but super unique and cute. The music is upbeat, the colors are very vibrant, and overall just has a wholesome feel that reminds me a bit of Rayman. The fact you switch from a side-scrolling game to a third person game to explore was super interesting and made me think on how to navigate the levels. I think flushing out the controller compatibility would be great as my hands are a little cramped from the tight keyboard controls, but that is my only real complaint other than wanting more. Would love to see this become a full-fledged title. Bravo, though. Was cute and fun!

What can I say - adorable

It was a freebie, so I gave it a go! And... well... I'm still not sure how I feel about it. It's a platform game where you play as a battery which gains the ability to transform into household objects to defeat enemies and overcome obstacles. That's as much info as I can give you regarding the plot as the whole thing is in one of the Asian dialects so I have no idea what anyone is saying in game or what the menu options say! The graphics are cute enough and the game does a "Paper Mario" and allows you to switch perspective almost at will. The sounds and music are fine. Again using that kind of cutsey style. It's an ok little game. I ran into a couple of issues though. One was controller support. It does have it, but the "action" button also jumps, so the game gets confused when you're trying to grab a ladder and you just end up bouncing in front of it instead. Second was my character jammed on me halfway through a level. My character just wouldn't move, but I was under attack from an enemy so I know it wasn't a full game crash. I was just stuck there getting hit and not losing health. This, along with a few other bits where the 2D doesn't quite work, makes me thin…

This game looks cute and unique. I wanted to play it for a long time.. So, when I installed it I was excited to play it. However, it took me awhile to figure out the language settings. I expected the game’s language settings to automatically be in English when I first launched it.. Especially since the game was promoted and advertised in English. I've played a few minutes of it and had to stop playing it.. The dialogue isn't properly coded to be in English. So, you'd randomly get Korean text and not know what's happening.. The movement is really rough.. It felt like someone quickly did the job and moved on without putting too much care into their work. When I read that it was a project to build their portfolio.. It made sense. The tutorial can be confusing. I've noticed that it tells you to press Z + C but at other times it wants you to press C + Z for the same command.. However, it doesn't work. If you can't make a proper tutorial then the game isn't playable. The combat and upgrades are boring.. It doesn't feel like you're doing anything. You're just hitting weak enemies over and over again.. Very unsatisfying. Not to mention, the music gave me a massive headache. While …

"Batta? Batta!" is one of literally thousands of student projects infesting Steam. It's from SBS Game Arcademy (sic) in Korea. While student projects tend to be better quality than most "amateur" made games, we must still question what value such projects have for gamers. As with all student projects, this isn't really a fully fleshed out game, it's just the result of an academic exercise, and as such it has much more limited value as a game than a professionally developed game would have. Educational institutions should not be using Steam as a dumping ground for homework assignments (especially if the students didn't even pass the course). Sure, it helps their marketing and helps the students feel good about themselves, but this is another case of a business putting themselves before the needs of gamers. The concept of this student project is not without merit, you control a battery and engage in both 2D and 3D platforming, the big gimmick of the game is that you can switch between a 2D platformer and a 3D platformer when you need to, and this is necessary to solve some puzzle platformer problems... but as always, because this is a student project, it's not a full game, it's…
