Mik - Legacy

A short game where we explore an abandoned steampunk world featuring brutalist environments. It is a prototype for a future project called Mik and lasts 15 minutes. I enjoyed the mysterious atmosphere, the low-poly visuals, and the enjoyable parkour gameplay.

stefahh

It is really promising, hope to get even more of the atmosphere, vibes and lore in the final project! I will definetely try it, I love setting with mega structures and Portal-like narrative

You got me at BLAME! like atmosphere, and lost me at platformer where your biggest enemy is your controls. I don't have a long enough life span to master that challenge, though I suppose there are people out there who enjoys the frustrations of listening to the same monochord speech for the 100th time after a missed jump 15 minutes in on a frictionless platform with a character the weight of an origami frog. Welp, my fault for trying.

Even for a free game that must have been a high school project, this is bad. The movement speed seems to be random, and the momentum will throw you off or over just about very platform you jump to or move on. That is if you don't get randomly stuck on the floor. Every time you jump it will throw you in a random direction, and if you try and jump near any platform or object your jump height will be cut in half. The visuals are good and the sound effects are repetitive but work to create an atmosphere. It is short, but not worth playing.

9/10. This game is awesome. It only took me maybe 50 minutes to beat (if that) but it was an extremely memorable playthrough. This is an older version of the game (as stated by the developer) but that doesn't make it any less enjoyable. Mostly down to it's atmosphere. The visuals, art direction, and music all hit that itch that's hard to explain but if you love this aesthetic, then you'll love the game. The parkour is fun too although a little janky, especially with it's momentum and hitboxes but it's a fun system that clearly just needs touching up (which I expect in the full game later this year) The lore is pretty interesting too. There's not a ton there but the little excerpts I got from stuff like notes, computer screens, door screens, etc. all built up for a really interesting story to be hidden underneath the exploration which is the main attraction.
