Spear

S.P.E.A.R. is quite a challenging platform puzzle game in places, and you will need quick reflexes and a lot of trial and error to succeed. The save points are reasonably generous though and are placed well enough to encourage perseverance which makes the game quite addictive. The spear mechanics are fun to use, with an aimed throw and a fast flat throw needed in certain situations. When using the aimed throw, time slows down as to give you a better aim, and then once you launch, time restarts. Game play can be unbelievable quick sometimes, especially with the slow down and then subsequent speed up, and you are often given hardly any time to react to multiple events. For example, throwing a spear into a portal will teleport you somewhere, then you need to react quickly to throw a spear at a button, or maybe another portal. Lots of these events are tied together, with the addition of enemies and environmental hazards coming into play and It all happens so fast that a little bit of trial and error is essential in the game. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3484032362 The spear mechanic is used to solve puzzles too, like using your spear as a stepping stone u…

For me, it's too frustrating, but most moderately agile people should be fine. The world building / writing / dialog is top notch, especially by indie standards. Levels are fairly open with multiple paths that lead to various collectables, some of which are mandatory to proceed. It could use with a bit of play testing, as some of the events are overly finicky to trigger/bugged out, but on the whole it's a well-done game that looks good and plays well. If there were ONE thing I'd change, it would be offering a mode where instead of insta-death it gave you some number of hearts to lose first. It would really improve accessibility for the rest of us.

This is a short platformer with some fun concepts and simplistic systems. The controls are fine, though not great, and the UI could use some work to feel more polished. However, the use of the spear is good and most of the levels are fun to explore. There's secrets and mini-quests to take on to extend the playtime a bit, but it's still fairly short and to the point. There's nothing revolutionary here, but there's good variety and fun to be had if you generally like platformers.

This game is absolute gold, hidden, unappreciated gem! How many times I died in not even an hour? Yes, I'm questioning myself if it's skill issue but then BAM! random spikes or whatever will come in my face This is how games should look like, made with passion and fresh ideas Physic of this game is insanely good and humour is peak. Thank you. I will 100% it super hard

really fun and creative platformer with beautiful visuals and smooth gameplay, levels are smartly designed with little puzzle moments that feel rewarding when you figure them out. I really liked using the spear in different ways, especially once I learned it could push me into the air. The animations and sound design are top quality and make the world feel alive. Controller support works well overall and the game runs great. It feels like a fresh mix of action and humor with some clever ideas. I had a great time and fully enjoyed the experience 💯❤️

A friend of mine suggested me this game, saying, it's Dark Souls of platforms... I didn't agree until the 4th level, the Mines. And from there onward it's pure evil. I loved every jump and every bump. At the end of the game you become one with the Spear. I won't spoil, but there's a hint of romance, I wanted to see more. But probably that's just me. I loved this little gem and I'll play it again if it releases on console. Oh, and I'm not really sure, but I think there are multiple endings.
