Robo Rolo

i would give him a little kiss on the. um. ball

Fun platformed with an interesting control schema.

I completed the first 3 worlds and I'm having a lot of fun!

[h2] Pretty good game. [/h2] I see a lot of potential in the idea of the game. It’s something that would work really well as a multiplayer. However its current state has some things to note. It felt like the gameplay highly relies on the skill of controlling the RO-LO, and needs quite the mastering. It takes a lot of patience, which I personally don’t have for video games anymore. Despite that, it’s kind of a waste to master a control skill when you have no-one to share it with (no other players, no achievements, no leaderboard). The game also could use a lot more ‘fun’ too. Personally I experienced more frustration at some levels than fun, which made the learning process less enjoyable. I’ll recommend rethinking the design and structure of the maps in the future, to make it more controlled. My favourite map was the Waste Factory, because of the element of progress. Collecting the shreds is nice but doesn’t feel like progress. Pushing buttons and opening new parts of the map does, which that level provided. The final level of the game really wasn’t what I hoped for. That map would be amazing as a “challenge” but not as a final. I don’t have either the time or patience to mast…

Its a fun ball-rolling, platforming, collect-a-thon. However, it is extremely hard to control Robo Rolo so I threw in the towel on this game after the first level.

[h2]Overall[/h2] Robo Rolo is a quaint and charming short platforming adventure, albeit rough around the edges. It invites you to explore and find your own ways to navigate its little worlds, improving your skills with R0-L0 along the way. I'd put a casual playthrough at ~3-4 hours to go through all the stages and beat the final level, which feels like plenty for the asking price. [hr][/hr] That being said, I'm going to go into a lot more detail here, because I feel like Doodle will appreciate some more granular feedback about my experience. - [h2]Difficulty[/h2] One of the first things I want to mention as it seems to be the only consistent thread across the reviews currently is the difficulty of the game in general. I'm going to be frank and say that I disagree. There are some (relatively) difficult tasks in the game, but outside of the final level, you are given the opportunity to skip pretty much whatever shards you wish. Beyond that, there are checkpoints and no lives to concern yourself with, so you are free to explore and effectively try whatever you'd like without consequence in a lot of situations. What I will say though, is I feel that the difficulty [i]balance [/i]during…
