[h1] Quirky platformer where you control robot like arm. Try not to hit the sphere though or it's game over. Pivot can be moved using joysticks and you can jump on it to get past obstacles. Gameplay consists mostly of getting to specific point and pushing button to unlock gate so sphere can be delivered to designated area. Original idea, maybe not the best executed but still fall into recommendation zone for puzzle platformer fans. [/h1]11 found this helpful
I dislike how the level design combines long mundane parts with quick bursts of skill. If you look at the GOAT difficult platformers, either the entire level has a consistent difficulty or there's not much leadup to the hard parts, making the game more interesting throughout. You also usually checkpoint more often. In Pivot Pilot, I felt like I was often going through a pretty long level and ended up failing a hard part, then doing it all again. Another major issue I have is the occasional "no way to know that except by dying" elements. For example, a fourth saw that has to be mid-air jumped right after three saws that you have to drop past. There's really no way to read this except through sheer luck, and when you fail you have to do allll of the level again (which exacerbates the first issue). Just one of several examples in the game. In general, there's not enough of a telegraph and many levels are virtually impossible to sightread. I've always preferred level design where it feels like it really is feasible to sightread if you're mechanically good enough. Third main thing I didn't like: the controls don't feel that good. Idk. You have to quickly double tap to double jump to …5 found this helpful
Excellent game. Hard game.2 found this helpful
Pretty fun little game. I had a problem where if I used a PS5 controller the arm would keep moving, almost like the game needs a dead zone adjustment.
https://youtu.be/DA1xGHuW2oc Dual control puzzles are a great setup but without a easy recovery for missed input a frustrating amount of time is spent repeating successful beginnings of levels.
While the game was enjoyable till 1-9. Repeating level 1-10 for 100 times and dying at the same spot is not fun as there's no check points in the levels. 4/10
