It started fine. It was cute. A bit clunky, with average controls. I liked the tongue in cheeck sense of humor. Then I hit the lava level, and the cocky charm wasn't cute anymore. Then I hit the box level. This might be one of the most miserable experiences I've ever had in gaming. I got it as a part off a bundle, and it was barely with the $2 I paid for it. With such a pleasant start, this game was an incredible disappointment. I gave up during the last level. Tl;dr: it's fun for the first half. Once you hit lava, just pretend you beat it. It's not worth the frustration.1 found this helpful
Planet of the Eyes is a science fiction puzzle-platformer developed and published by Cococucumber that proves a compelling adventure does not require an enormous world or complex mechanics to leave a lasting impression. The game follows a lone robot that finds itself stranded on an unfamiliar planet after a disastrous space mission. With little context at the beginning, players gradually uncover the story by exploring the environment and listening to fully voiced recordings left behind by another survivor. Instead of delivering exposition through lengthy cutscenes, the narrative unfolds naturally as the journey progresses, encouraging curiosity while maintaining a quiet, reflective atmosphere. The combination of mystery, isolation, and subtle storytelling gives the adventure an emotional depth that complements its gameplay rather than distracting from it. Platforming and puzzle-solving form the heart of the experience. Every stage presents a variety of obstacles that require precise jumps, careful timing, and logical thinking to overcome. The controls are responsive, allowing players to focus on solving environmental challenges instead of fighting against awkward movement. As new …
Short but fun. Get it on sale.
A cute little game. The visuals are stunning and I like the unique platforming. For some it may be slow paced but you are a heavy robot and you move and interact as such. It's fun to have simple platforming challenges that basically any other character could just run and blast through you have to actually sit and think about it. It isn't very long or hard, the longest I was stuck on anything was two or three minutes. I think it's a little expensive for what it is. It lasts about as long as a movie and is priced at about half of movie tickets so I suppose it is worth it's price but there's a lot of competition at this price tag so I understand passing over this for something that'll last you more than one sitting.
What's a space pirate's favorite planet? mArrrs!
A completely serviceable platformer that can be completed in 1-2 hours dependent on some timing/platforming skills and pathing.
