[b] P. S. If you have difficulties in the walktrough, this guide will be very useful: [/b] https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3561496240 [h1] Category: Throw together some random сrаp, quickly upload it to Steam, and dream of getting rich [/h1] Just Hero is an extremely short, ridiculous platformer made by who knows whom, how, and mainly under who knows what. The game was made in GameMaker, which partly explains its many flaws: It has monotonous graphics, painfully awkward character movements, no way to customize the controls, and a completely confusing loading system that can toss you to a random spot in the level when you use the load function in the menu. So how do you make a game harder? Just slap 'hard game' on the cover. But instead of thoughtful difficulty, players get annoying, VERY simple and predictable traps. On top of that, some of the “bubbles” — these useless local collectibles, which are as plentiful as coins in Super Mario Bros (probably where the creator drew inspiration) — can't be grabbed without triggering a trap and dying (it doesn’t even try to stretch the game out artificially, even a little). Plus, for collecting ten of the…

I might be wrong that the control issues plaguing this GameMaker: Studio copy and paste job have been resolved since Just Hero’s release: frankly, it doesn’t matter—it’s just another of countless retro-cute, no-to-low-effort one-button collectathons. If the platforming was clean and environmental hitboxes consistent, you’d be able to finish this in 10 minutes flat as there’s no graduated difficulty and almost no environmental hazards. As is, you’ll fight through the inconvenience of dying a few dozen times to collect the 100 maguffins for the training wheels cheevos and move on, having had no more or less fun than you had before installation. And if you’re keeping score, Sometimes You’s games can almost all be completed in less the two-hour refund window; very few of these “games” show demonstrably more effort than JH:”HG”.

Just Hero, developed by Anatoliy Loginovskikh and published by Sometimes You, is a minimalist side-scrolling platformer that attempts to evoke the fundamentals of classic genre design while keeping its mechanics as simple as possible. It follows the journey of an unnamed protagonist who awakens without memory and is gradually pushed into a path of conflict and self-discovery. While the premise hints at a deeper narrative, the experience itself is largely driven by straightforward platforming challenges rather than story development. The gameplay is built around the most basic actions associated with the genre: movement and jumping. Levels consist of navigating hazards, avoiding enemies, and reaching the endpoint without losing all your health. There are no additional mechanics to layer complexity onto this foundation—no abilities to unlock, no meaningful upgrades, and no evolving systems that change how the game is played. This stripped-down approach makes the game immediately accessible, but it also exposes its limitations very quickly. Without variation in mechanics, each level feels like a repetition of the same idea with slightly increased difficulty. Difficulty is a defining…
