✦ AI summary

Running Through The Beat is a first-person parkour runner that attempts to blend rhythm game mechanics with platforming, but players are divided on its execution. While some appreciate the core movement mechanics like wall running and sliding, most criticize the sluggish controls, blurry visuals, and poor implementation of the rhythm element, with several noting that bolting Dance Dance Revolution mechanics onto the genre feels forced and detracts from the experience.

[h1] First person running game with some flaws. Controls are ok, you can wall run, slide and jump. Visuals a bit blurry and muffled. Playable. [/h1]

"Running Through The Beat" is yet another one of those games where they discovered a completely new and unthought of idea, which is to bolt Dance Dance Revolution mechanics to any other game genre at all, which they think will make it better, and instead is a guaranteed failure. This happens a lot, and of course every time anyone does it they claim it's a completely unique idea, and it always, always fails. Like this did. Today, they bolted Dance Dance Revolution onto a really crap attempt at making a minimalist neon parkour platformer with some even crapper music. It's a disaster. This game features very lacklustre minimalist neon "art" for graphics instead of anything remotely contemporary. I'm sure the "developer" thought this would come across as "artistic", but it doesn't, it comes across as "really lazy". Yes, contemporary 3D graphics take a lot of time and effort to create. That doesn't mean it's okay not to bother! Developers must try to understand that gaming is a visual medium, and gamers spend a lot of money on high end gaming rigs for a reason. And that reason is not so they can look at lazy, phoned-in half efforts like this. Now onto pricing and value. This…

First off, the game is AMAZING. Second of all, I noticed if you hold slide and spam restart, the slide noise continuously plays. Along with the overlapping of the restart noise. Maybe you could add a limiter that limits the amount of sounds playing for the restart sounds? Anyways, I love it! Cinnaguy Approved! 10/10 Bonus Approval: Grimlock Approved! 10/10
