Raccoon: The Orc Invasion

I can't recommend this game. It's a shame, because it looks cute. The graphics are alright, I guess. But for some reason, the game feels choppy. My PC is fine, so I don't understand why this game skips frames like that. The gameplay is very simple, to the point of being boring. The game is very floaty too. A major problem is that jumping feels unresponsive. If you press space, sometimes you don't jump. If you jump on enemies, sometimes they die, sometimes you die and sometimes both die. And if you're standing on a ledge, you can't jump at all. The enemies just accelerate towards you. Every enemy does. Different enemies would have been nice. The music is meh. Most of it is some loop that's only a few seconds long. It may drive you crazy. It's okay for a free game or a "my first game" kind of scenario, but it's certainly not worth money.

[b][quote][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip![/url][/quote][/b] Raccoon: The Orc Invasion is an asset flip, what Valve calls a "fake game". The "developer", SP GAMES/BD Games, took the [url=https://olanartworks.itch.io/2d-forest-assets-pack/devlog/82452/first-asset-for-downloads]2D Forest Assets Pack[/url] tutorial/demo/game asset pack from the real developers, Olan Artworks, dumped it on a Unity platformer template they stole from someone else, and dumped the result onto Steam. They're attempting to scam people into buying this, so they can get your money for someone else's work. At no point did the developer credit any of the real developers work that he stole and is trying to profit from, whether the assets permit that or not, taking the work of others and claiming it as your own is plagiarism, and highly unethical, especially when you try to profit from that, as the asset flipper here is trying to do. SP GAMES/BD Games has shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab. Here's some examples so you can see for yourself: [list] [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2026070]Tan…

Mmm, nope, sorry. Buggy mess. I normally kind of enjoy playing these asset flip glitchy games, but this one is just senseless. I'm too lazy to go into details, tho, I just wouldn't really recommend it. EDIT: I changed my mind about not going int details. I normally don't just leave negative reviews, and when I do, the purpose is mostly to let the developer know what can be improved. So here we go: This is a one-button platformer, meaning you can only move left and right and jump. That's how you progress through the levels and how you kill the orcs. You have three lives and you collect coins each level. There is a counter for coins. There is also an extra life in each level. So far, this is fine. But there are bugs and nonsensical mechanics. Firstly, I found that some of the coins are unreachable. You can't control the height of your jump, meaning that whether you quickly tap the jump button or you long-press it, the resulting jump is exactly the same. This could be implemented (variable height in jumps depending on how long you press the button). The behavior of some of the orcs is weird, and some of them will chase after you and even fall to their "deaths" (they will fall but t…

Zıplarken gözlerim feci yoruyor onu geçtim parkurlarda zıplarken o kadar milim zıplamanız gerekiyor ki checkpoint sistemi olmadığı için bölümün en başından başlamanız kanser edici bir durum. En azından zor kategorisine sokun. Para vermenize değmeyecek bir oyun.

For a dev's first game, it's not bad. Not bad at all. I'm hoping their game that's planned for release later this year is more interesting. If you want to support an aspiring developer, go for it. That being said, it's a very cookie-cutter basic platformer. What you see in the trailer is mostly what you get. Nothing's inherently wrong with that, albeit a bit uninspired. To be more critical, the story is bland, the gameplay isn't much better, and the music selection isn't great. My main gripe with the game is that you can't jump on slopes. This has made me take damage on multiple occasions and just adds a bit of frustration to the casual playthough. I'm also not a fan of starting at the beginning of each level after taking damage. As a final note, I saw that the dev said there were puzzles and boss fights. If what they meant was just having a larger enemy than normal, then I guess that counts. Bosses are typically more advanced than normal enemies in some way. As for puzzles, the only thing that comes close to it is pushing a boulder into a portal, and I wouldn't even consider that one, either. What I guess I'm trying to say is I hope the dev tries to be a little more creative …

There's really nothing to it. Move left/right, jump on orcs, collect coins for reasons that don't exist, and that's about it. It feels very much like a game you'd play on your phone in the way back 2000s era of games that existed entirely to entertain you while waiting for your number to be called at the DMV.
