Blitzstrike

One of Brennan's classmates here, this is a really good first video game for a solo development. It's short, but honestly made me reminisce about some good old Kirby days with the action platforming, and the lore drop at the end was pretty sad tbh :/ The only two criticisms I have are with the upwards fans and the final boss. The upward fans were difficult to find movement consistency, and I died 4 times trying to figure one of them out. The final boss is well balanced, but something I noticed was missing from most action platformers were readability in the boss's next actions. (im also salty i couldnt reach some of the hidden 1UPs but thats just a skill issue) Overall, this is an amazing project for a college student, and I see so much potential for Trixel's upcoming journeys!

Video Review: https://youtu.be/QLh9Paw3U9M TL:DR Blitzstrike is a fun, simple, run n gun perfect for younger or inexperienced gamers. It is on the easy side but it has a nice charming story and simple fun levels.

Simple and fun! Story is fairly basic and there isn't as much variety as I would have hoped, but for a short adventure for only 3.49 it's everything it needs to be! My one real critique was that there was only one boss fight, and the fight against Vectoria was kind of annoying when trying to get the Flawless achievement. It's not impossible or anything and I like a good challenge, but when she can randomly teleport directly into you with no indication and there is no tell for when she is going to shoot, it can be kind of frustrating. Anyway, I had fun, give it a try! EDIT: The Vectoria fight was updated and is now way more clear! My little review has influenced the developer (maybe idk) and I couldn't be prouder. Also the Grueling Gauntlet was a great addition, loved the extra challenge and enemy variety!

The game was really fun and silly. I thought the robots were called "cubties" like cuties... but cube... spoilers! [spoiler]I was also like 100% sure there was romantic tension between Trixel and Vectoria and was not at all ready for the plot twist because of it lmao[/spoiler]

As someone who’s been gaming since the days of ColecoVision, this hits all the right nostalgic notes. The pixel art and level design feel like a love letter to classic run-and-gun platformers. Bonus points for the solid story and sound design—but most importantly… it’s fun to play.
