Lost Gorga

I wanted to like this game, especially with the awards from the Game Jams. But I just could not get past the third section where you have to navigate around and "not get lost". I got lost. Nothing I tried worked. I felt like I was just looping and was genuinely disappointed. It is certainly possible that I just wasn't understanding it but even the friends I was streaming it to were confused.

This is an extremely poorly made one, arranged badly, with super clunky controls and bad level design where the (what look like asset flipped) tiles being placed so lazily that they didn't even make sure the platform edges have the right tiles. That kind of sloppy assembly permeates this rather awful game where you control a pixel blob and jump around the place.

A choice was made to use obsolete, decades old retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result. There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks. There's no way to ensure this is running at the native resolution of your display. There's no guarantee t…

idk what even is happening in this game
