✦ AI summary
Tinertia is a uniquely challenging platformer with tight, innovative movement mechanics centered around rocket jumping and dashing that players find deeply satisfying once mastered. The game is brutally difficult with a steep learning curve, but players consistently praise how fair the mechanics feel—deaths are attributed to personal mistakes rather than cheap design—and appreciate how each level builds on previously learned skills. While the extreme difficulty and punishing nature make it a grueling experience that's not for everyone, those who push through find it to be an underrated gem wit
It's all in the name: Tinertia is a frenetic gauntlet of momentum. Over the course of seven environments, each consisting of about eight levels and a boss encounter, you will maneuver little robot Weldon across gaps and around hazards using the explosive propulsion of his rocket arm. You also have access to a mid-air dash that is used for finer movements (and saving your ass), but it can only be used once before it must be recharged by landing on a solid surface. Playing on a controller you move Weldon with the left stick, aim/fire rockets with the right stick, and activate the dash with RB. It's an unusual setup, but it gives Tinertia a different feel from most side-scrolling games. The levels (and bosses especially) get fiendishly difficult, and you will be dying and retrying a lot. Mercifully, the levels are fairly short and restarting is instantaneous, keeping you in the zone while you hone your skills. The visuals are vibrant, and the game runs like greased lightning (even on old graphics cards, I would imagine). Music is electronic, but it's not mindless EDM--it buzzes with personality, especially during boss levels, and I found myself bopping along even as I failed again an…
hard = Dark Souls, Sekiro, Nioh harder = Ghosts 'n Goblins extreme = Tinertia
The only reason why I have this game is because my dad thought this was Terraria. On his defence though, the words Terraria and Tinteria sound very similar. I decided to finish the game a year after getting it though. it was hell
cool
Super fun, super underrated.
One of the most unique & fun platformers I've ever played. It's definitely a very challenging game, but that makes finally nailing each checkpoint all the more satisfying. The movement mechanics are also perfect, the rocket jumping & dashing are so tight that you never feel cheated by the game when you die, you're just annoyed by your own failure and mistiming-- which, by the way, there absolutely is a 1:1 correlation with your skill and your success in this game; however, each progressive level builds on skills learned in the last: I went from dying an embarrassing amount of times, to impressing myself with some of my artful sequences in later runs (though was quickly humbled looking at the leaderboards, some people are truly machines). Anyway, apart from the most important aspect (the gameplay, which is stellar), the visuals and the soundtrack are awesome, case-in-point: I usually mute games, but didn't find myself doing that here. Overall: highly recommended.
