Absolute baller of a game. Beat it in 3 hours with struggling so it may be a little shorter playtime for those more experienced with precision platforming. It's split into 3 acts with each act giving the player a unique character. The acts are built around the characters movement kit and the boss fights are as great as they are shown in the trailer. Along with the level design and cutscenes, the music is crazy; it almost feels like a movie score towards the end; there's a reason they're selling the soundtrack for this game on Steam. All of it ties together to a wonderfully crafted platforming experience. As a side note, I've checked out the other games by this developer and this is a dev I'm keeping an eye. Good stuff.3 found this helpful
Really neat precision platformer with good music and worldbuilding, final stage is on some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ but the assists are generous. Worth the $8 especially if you want a good challenge to overcome.3 found this helpful
Awesome game and worth the price. Gameplay is simple to pick up and play out of the box. The vibe is moody and apocalyptic, with a dark and brooding score. The best part? It's freaking fun! I appreciate the level of difficulty and how ramps up through each of the 3 characters/stages. By the end it's freaking tough and I died a bunch lol. But practice makes perfect, right? Will give you that dopamine rush. Kudos to the design team. Looking forward to whatever they put out next.2 found this helpful
Video gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4Mt5NZBiPbn2Z2LHXBwOBOLAXwjAq2Hg I found this game casually browsing on Steam and it turned out to be a gem! short game of 3 acts where you play a different animal each time, that has a different platforming mechanic (double jump, glide, "pogo") the movement in this type of games has to be fluid and responsive, and it is indeed the case here. I enjoyed the minimalistic graphics, upbeat music, and (very) challenging levels. Good job! go Varmint.1 found this helpful
