Up in the Air

⠀

By far one of the most annoying games I have ever played and that was the point making a game with ♥♥♥♥♥♥ annoying AF kids. I cracked a laugh when that fata$$ blonde kid started chasing me like a lunatic shaking the ground lol. As always SMU students are among the best. Well polished project guys, good luck in your careers!

"Up in the Air" is a student project from the SMU Guildhall game school, and the students failed this year. It's an open world action/adventure/sandpit kind of game where you run around as a balloon animal. The graphics are pretty bad here and the gameplay isn't great, I've seen much higher quality stuff from that school. This is not their best work, and the lazy approach to the game assets makes this come across as a lazy asset flip or some other kind of joke game... I guess students should be taught that game development is a serious endeavour and that isn't what happened here. This features fairly low quality low poly 3D visuals which will deter a lot of gamers, understandably. Gaming is a visual medium, and it's clear the developers behind this didn't understand that. You're forced to sign a highly questionable yet legally unenforceable End User License Agreement... for such a relatively low effort, low quality product, this comes across more as a delusion of grandeur than anything else. This agreement includes questionable requirements that may attempt to revoke consumer law protections that gamers expect to have, which is also highly problematic. Developers must learn…

Игра "Up in the Air" — это атмосферная инди-приключенческая головоломка с оригинальной механикой. Геймплей основан на управлении воздушным шаром, что даёт уникальное ощущение свободы и динамики. Сюжет скрыт, но атмосфера пустыни и загадочные локации создают мистическую обстановку. Графика минималистичная, но стильная, а звуковое сопровождение усиливает настроение. Однако сложность управления и отсутствие чётких указаний могут вызвать раздражение. Игра подойдёт тем, кто ценит нестандартные геймплейные решения и готов разобраться в нюансах.

I enjoyed this to begin with but at about 90 minutes in the issues piled up to much, the game is labelled as "An achiever's dream with dozens of challenging mini-games" but the achievements are really broken making it more of a nightmare for a completionist, the general game play and mechanics were fun though and it was a fairly relaxing play for the start. Difficulty ☐ Tell My Wife I L... ☐ Engage the gamer position ☐ A Chill Challenge ☑ Are we still on the tutorial? ☐ Easier than regretting the amount of hours I have on Dota The difficulty is fairly easy, the hardest thing being the pathing of the children mobs when trying to put them in the rides, once you unlock the inflate skill you can basically play the entire game floating around should you chose to play that way. Enjoyment ☐ Absolute euphoria ☐ Worth your time ☑ Its aight ☐ Beats day time TV ☐ Ayoo there's paint drying over there Reviewing based of my first hour, yes the game was fun, the variety of mini games were short enough to not get boring, they are fairly simple tasks but spread out across a free roaming map with collectables and interactions kept it from falling flat. But after the issues piled up I lost a bi…
