Bitsy

⠀

‎

"Bitsy" is a student project from the Neumont College of Computer Science, and I'm not sure the students passed this time. The student project comes across as unpolished and unfinished... while the game mechanics seem promising, what you get here is more frustration and disappointment looking at all the unfinished/raw looking assets and environments than any enjoyable gaming experience. This features fairly low quality low poly 3D visuals which will deter a lot of gamers, understandably. Gaming is a visual medium, and it's clear the developers behind this didn't understand that. Not every "free" game really is. There's often MTX, or content locked behind DLC, or donations being requested, or any other number of things that could mislead gamers, but in this case I'm glad to say this really does appear to be a fully free game. Nothing demonstrates a developers belief in themselves and their work than giving it away without any remuneration. This is a service to themselves, and the gaming industry, and should be applauded. Of course, just because something is free, doesn't necessarily mean it's valuable. Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 million+ game…

This is possibly the coolest game ive ever played! would def reccomend to my friends. Keep going strong, devs!

It is apparently a university project, and it is free, so it's hard for me to be too critical but: Vision cones should probably have been actual cones made out of fog or a light effect, because I found it confusing to know when I was or wasn't within a camera or a guard's vision cone. A cursor in the center of the screen that indicates where gravity points towards, like in Aliens vs Predator 2010's xenomorph campaign, would help with orientation and avoiding dizziness (we only have the spider to rely on, but it rotates with the camera) No checkpoints: I got caught after hacking the terminal, and then I was sent back to the beginning of the level. ...... The level design I think is great, I had to plan my movement to avoid detection and hurtful lasers. Ever wall, floor and ceiling had plenty of 3D details, some of which can be used to hide from guards. Third-person but with a camera close to the player character - it felt a bit like first-person which I loved. Ability to crawl on all surfaces: that's the main reason I downloaded the game so I'm obviously happy about it, very few games have that feature :D. ......... So yes I recommend the game for anyone who wants a pseudo-…
