DIVO

This is a weak ripoff of Nebulus on the Commodore 64. A skill based 2D platformer with a simple twist, the platforms are on the outside of a tower that revolves as you move left or right. Collect gems, jump between platforms and climb higher to reach the end of the level. When your game compares poorly to something released 25 years earlier, you shouldn't put it on Steam. I will commend the developer for putting in sufficient effort to make the game work smoothly in 4K on modern PCs. This is completely commendable and should be acknowledged. However, that doesn't justify releasing ancient and deprecated game concepts as if they were new.

Controls are far from being responsive or reliable, visually it looks ok-ish but nothing special but level design is far from perfect, frustrating and more teadios than fun.

Fun, interesting take n platformers and their mechanics. Note: I hate platformers. Lovely graphics, straightforward mechanics, consistent physics, excellent use of environment to make me nervous about doing anything in the level.

Here's my review of this piece of ♥♥♥♥: Don't play DIVO, don't make your friends play DIVO, don't even look at DIVO. There are plenty of better FREE tower climbing games. Don't get one that feels like your constantly skating on ice, even when airborne. It's a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ game, with barely changing music (every few levels it finally changes) that loops forever, and with way too many collectibles. If you get it, I will not be to blame. Now if you will excuse me, I'm going to watch funny hamsters to remind me they aren't Satan.

Absolute junk that came from some bundle or another.

Then it surprises, as you get familiar with the magnet mechanics start looping around platforms to catch tokens, get familiar with elevators, teleporters and learn to differentiate how different tower blocks react to you. The idea of controlling a small lab rat trapped in a rat wheel with what looks like a bunch of electrodes sticking out of his skull is kinda neat and the music does have an electronic touch. Finally with the timer ticking down all the time, the oft failed jump the limited amount of assets that recycle constantly, the mmusic looping a little too much you end back more or less when you started. At first glance this is a 25 levels game 2 of which I completed in about 15 minutes as I was learning the game and dying constantly. So if that first glance is correct there are not all that many hours to get through if you did en…
