What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
one of the best games i ever played the artstile is good the gameplay is balanced the macanics are super creative and original but sadly its really short but if it had a bit more game play i would be ready to pay over 30 bucks for that amazing
insanely good game, only problem is for lower end computers the optimization isnt amazing (shame my friend couldnt play :steamsad)
The game needs a LOT MORE polish. It's undercooked. Apparently, it was a university project, so it feels more like a demo than a full game. Pio has an amazing core idea and unique gameplay. It combines platforming and puzzles into a real time combat system, which I've never seen before. However, it feels janky at times because of the slippery movement and the lack of readable enemy attacks. That said, once you get into the flow and start bouncing all over the screen, it feels fantastic! I enjoyed my short time with it, and I even replayed the final boss immediately after beating it because the game left me wanting more. I wish the developers could turn this into a full game with tighter controls and deeper mechanics, although I'm not sure if they own the IP rights 🤔 More issues I had with the game: - The stages are overdesigned, making it hard to see enemy projectiles through all the VFX. - The platforming sections are too basic and don't have any interesting mechanics. - The worldbuilding is confusing. It mixes celestial star beings with animal skeletons. Like what is the main character even supposed to be? A star with ears and paws? - Respawning after death takes too long. -…
its good, even tho the bosses are difficult for me. But its still a good game. After checking out some other reviews, it seems like people are having trouble changing the control settings. I had trouble changing them at first, but I finally got around to it. You can change it by changing the leftmost control key.
Although I'm not good at this kind of fighting-platformer games, I really enjoyed it! The designs, the atmosphere, the colors are so pretty and unique! Our main character is so cute! Ther combat is really challenging, but in the best way possible. It's thrilling.
Very fun but VERY DIFFICULT, its hard to stay on the star boxes and them you die, otherwise cute but hard to play
