Hard Glide

[English version: see below] In diesem Action-Arcade-Game spielen wir einen kleinen Serviceroboter, der sich durch zahlreiche Level kämpft und dessen Aufgabe es dabei ist, eine bestimmte Menge blaue Kugeln aufzusammeln und oft auch eine vorgegebene Anzahl eines bestimmten Gegnertyps zu töten. Das Besondere an dem Spiel ist vor allem die Steuerung, denn die funktioniert vollständig und ausschließlich mit der Maus, denn wir bewegen unseren Roboter wie einen Mauszeiger durch die Level, er reagiert also direkt auf alle unsere Bewegungen. Er hat dabei allerdings seine ganz eigene Trägheit und Fliehkräfte und er prallt von Hindernissen ab, was das Manövrieren deutlich erschwert, während wir feindlichen Robotern ausweichen, Fallen umgehen und Schlüssel von a nach b schleppen, um Schlösser zu öffnen. Und im Grunde geht es außerdem auch noch darum, die Level in möglichst kurzer Zeit zu absolvieren. Wer gerne schnelle Spiele mag und Bestzeiten hinterherjagt vielleicht auch Speedruns mag, der sollte definitiv mal einen Blick riskieren, denn schon allein durch die Steuerung ist das Spiel mal was anderes – und seinen Preis auf jeden Fall wert.

There may be a handful of puzzles in the game but that wasn't what really drew me to post about it here (and YouTube). The game is mainly a fast-paced arcade shooter. In the game you control a little robot with your mouse (only). You shoot, evade and maneuver around the level, enemies and obstacles with your mouse. It reminds me of older arcade games where you moved your ship or in a similar aspect, so there is some nostalgia present as well. Little robot (you) needs to explore and survive these post-apocalyptic robot-controlled areas. The other robots don't seem too friendly. Some even have red smoke coming out of them and all. Even with the red smoky robots chasing you with bad intent, little robot has to collect all the blue orbs, shoot the red bad robots and get to the next level where there are more red robots and some even bigger ones too! There are challenges and obstacles that'll make you device strategies i…

(Reviewed when I reached Stage 3 Level 1, just after the first boss of the game) Pros: - Gameplay is fun after getting used to it. I do have issues with how shooting is handled (can only rotate turret 180 degrees, shoot only where you're facing), but it remains to be seen if it is a skill issue on my part or if it will be better on subsequent playthroughs. - Can get challenging as well, and not the frustrating challenging kind, the actually challenging kind. There are parts of the game where it's a cycle (think moving platforms), the enemies look reasonable enough. - Playing on UW 3840x1600, I don't see any UI problems. Neutral - Probably should expose the FPS limit in settings instead of having to crawl through the .ini files. I got around 80 FPS on a 3060ti on 3840x1600. - I can't tell if the music is good, but it is definitely not bad or annoying. Cons - The camera pans out anytime you move, depending on your speed. Faster means farther zoom out. However, in this game you constantly have to change speed to avoid obstacles, meaning the camera will keep on panning out while playing. This actually made me feel queasy. I do get motion sickness while traveling, however I do wish th…

I liked the game it's fun

I love this game, it's pretty simple to play. You just need to dodge enemies and their projectiles while avoiding hitting walls and obstacles. To be honest, I hated the controller at first, but after playing for a while, I started to get used to it. Once you understand the controls, it becomes easier to move around and have fun.
