✦ AI summary

The Top is a charming precision platformer that players praise for its tight level design, engaging new mechanics, atmospheric music, and surprising emotional depth in its minimalist narrative. While the retro Game Boy-style graphics may not appeal to everyone and a few players wish there were more transitional levels between tutorials and challenges, the overall consensus is highly positive. Players consistently recommend it as a worthwhile purchase for anyone who enjoys short, well-crafted platformers and wants to support indie developers.

This game is really great. The platforming is fun with each area introducing new mechanics, and the game is balanced appropriately, getting harder as you progress. The secret areas are well-hidden but not too unreasonable to find, even on your own, and they present the hardest challenges in the game, as they should. The narrative is light but quite deep and it actually got me a little emotional at the end despite how it is mostly in the background. I understand how the graphics could turn some people off but I find them charming and if you are nostalgic for the Game Boy era you will certainly enjoy them. To top it all off (no pun intended), there is a nice, atmospheric soundtrack that's a pleasure to listen to. Highly recommend, especially if you want to support a small indie creator.

Really enjoyed this! :3 Not too long, but nevertheless fun and challenging. Would recommend this to anyone looking for a short but charming puzzle-platformer. It looks like this might be the first (or one of the first) games officially made by the developers, in which case extra kudos for all those involved! Looking forward to any further games you may release.

If you enjoy precision platforming, this is certainly a game you should buy. 100% worth it. The controls feel great, and the levels are tightly designed. The game has enough story to stay interesting, and the music is also banger. The game never tries to be something it's not and delivers a fine tuned experience. Amazing game from start to finish.

Really enjoyable! Do wish there were more 'transitional' levels between those that are meant to be tutorials showing you new mechanics, and those that fuse all those mechanics together, but since the general theme of the game was brevity I can't be too mad at that. Small and concise. Like you're eating a small plate but it has so much flavor it totally pays off for the small quantity. Perfect if you want to spend an evening practicing your reflexes and hearing really good music. [spoiler] I like that the game remembers that you've been here before. I also like the meta aspect of it and the player character knowing that their existence is tied to being remembered by us. [/spoiler] The accessibility features were a LIFESAVER lmao (carpal tunnel deflectors GO). Although for the time slower thang it would be nice if it stayed turned on if you died on a level, instead of having to activate it every single time after respawn. [spoiler] There was specifically a timing-based level in the superhell dimension (the one with the moving platform at the bottom that you have to IMMEDIATELY jump on) that truly showed how cumbersome it can be. [/spoiler] Definitely gonna be downloading that sou…

I gotta say, this is a pretty nice platformer. Pleasant music, fun platforming, and interesting secrets (I still haven't found all of em). Overall a solid first(ish) go into making games!

Overall, enjoyable. Frustrating at times, but in the way that a precision platformer probably should be. The music was quite well done, and tonally fitting. The story—eh. As a wise man once said, "meta is easy". It wasn't bad, I'm certain it would resonate quite well with some. For me, I felt it was sincere, even if perhaps unoriginal in nature.

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
