✦ AI summary
Players praise the polished graphics, responsive controls, and engaging level design that feels rewarding once you master the mechanics, with good difficulty scaling and checkpoint placement on normal modes. However, multiple players consistently complain about the lack of an instant reset button, forcing lengthy fall animations and loading screens after mistakes that significantly interrupt the gameplay flow and pace. Some also note the game is relatively short and mention minor issues like unclear navigation and momentum mechanics that sometimes feel unintuitive.
Actually a pretty good 3d platformer. A very short game though. If you like games like this you'll like this one. Not worth $13 in my opinion but if you catch it on a sale give it a go. Pros: Challenge is balanced well. Easily speedrunable. Most of the time the next jump is easy to see. The little story you get snippets of when you fall is interesting but not super deep. Cons: Collectables are a nightmare to find often requiring backtracking after making it to the end of the game to have the abilities to make the jumps. There are also several places where it is easy to jump to places/areas you aren't meant to which trivializes entire sections. Not a terrible game but not a must play.
Polished. Graphics are pretty, controls generally responsive, level design quite good for the most part. Is actually kind of fun to play when you've got the hang of a section and can soar balletically around. So why the negative review, then? Simple. Fundamental, really. Ain't no reset. Make a mistake and you'll sit through a fall animation of pointless length followed by a loading screen before you get to try again. Total elapsed time from the moment you realize you've missed a jump to the moment when the game returns control to you is about 16 seconds. Although you can shorten this time to about 10 seconds if, after the game's finished reloading, you hold space to 'skip'. Wait. Skip? The hell are we even skipping, the level's loaded, right? Let's go already. What we're skipping, of course, is the opportunity to ponder a piece of monologue from a character we never see and don't care about. Someone in Devtown thought there's untapped narrative potential here, so the load screen tries to draw us into the Saga of Some Guy Who Had to Climb A Tower with scintillating observations along the lines of "I can't give up now"...which... Look man, you don't have to provide us …
i wish there was a reset butten so you didn't have to fall every time you mess up and i also wish there were something to show where to go. The graphics where great and the music. i didn't like how almost every time you jump you go forward even when you don't press the W key.
