KEIKA - A Puzzle Adventure

A great game. Period. I can't think of a better game that only takes 60 mb of your HDD an still give you that nostalgic vibe that i used to grow up with. Here are some great features of this game: -Its beautiful. Everything in this game is visually pleasing. -The simplicity of this game makes it just so playable -The UI of the game is really well made and just so smooth -One of the better cheap games out there which includes lots of content, and the levels are challenging. -The artwork made for this game is somewhat great. -Its not jittery, and any pc could run this game just fine. Cons: -The music was just too loud, and it didn't have a way to turn it down accept for muting it. -The color in the game was unsaturated and bland, but it is a pixel game so i guess its fine -There was no help button or objective, which confused me at the start.

If you want the truth, [b]Keika[/b] is overall [b][i]fine[/i][/b], but within its suficiency, it is a [b][I]painfully[/i] bland[/b] [i]puzzler[/i]. Even though it is only [b]40 levels-long[/b] and it [b]introduces new mechanics steadily[/b], it [i]still[/i] manages to become [b]fairly redundant[/b], and that, in turn, results in the [b]player[/b] being [b][i]far more[/i] likely to detect puzzle design patterns[/b] from miles away - with [b][i]a few[/i] exceptions in the last stages[/b]. Said [b]lack of challenge[/b] and [b]level creativity[/b] kills the mood quickly, and despite being a [b]real bargain[/b], at the end of the day [b]Keika[/b] just cannot pull its own weight.

Some like a cute gentle platformer, instead of a rapid shooting , exploding one, so as I enjoy the former, I recommend this, as it also includes some logic and is suitable for children, too. I did have a slight problem getting going as neither mouse, arrow keys nor WASD would move the little creature. The solution was the set of diagrams on the sales page, so these should have been on the game itself.

TLDR; boring but ok puzzle game and just 0.99 cents It is 0.99 cents, you can never expect a lot for this money, but still I want to give some criticism to help to improve. I did not play the game a lot, I cleared only the first 20 levels and then decided to quit. + Nice relaxing music, chill atmosphere + Easy to understand concepts + Easy to navigate Menu = Graphics were ok, animations did not fell suuper smooth but ok - Not a fun puzzle game (I will explain later)* - No feeling of progression, accomplishment, anything, just level after level - Long ish waiting times when you know you have finished * My biggest complaint and the whole reason I wrote this review The levels were just messy and sometimes trial and error to find the path the developer/s intentended for you to take, once you got the hang of it you searched the same schema and then finished the level. The things added did not add something interisting, like e.g. the switches. It may seem like a cool concept, until you realise that you place them exactly like the standard plattform, just before the gate. It does not add any interesting aspect, its just there as an extra element and may seem like something interestin…

A little easy a little short but nice.

I really enjoyed this game. It's cute & had some challenging levels. I was disappointed when I discovered I'd finished the game, I'd buy a part 2 with more difficult levels.
