Youmu's Cube Adventure

Youmu's Cube Adventure is a game that I found much more challenging than the cute presentation initially made me expect. I am playing as Youmu Konpaku after she has somehow been turned into a cube, and my job is to guide her through a series of precision based levels while avoiding walls and enemies. The basic controls are simple, but the movement has a lot of momentum and speed behind it, so even getting through a small gap can become surprisingly difficult. I like that the game does not need a complicated control scheme to make me concentrate. The movement is easily the best part for me. I have to carefully control the cube against gravity and make small adjustments while moving at quite a high speed. It took me a while to get comfortable with it because the controls can feel unforgiving when I am trying to make a precise movement. That also makes successfully getting through a difficult section feel much better. I found myself learning from mistakes rather than feeling like the game was simply being random, because most failures came down to me moving too quickly or making the wrong adjustment. There are 100 levels spread across six different worlds, so there is a surprisingly…

This game is in fact rather difficult. The gravity aspect of this game takes a while to get used to, and in the end I still was not quite comfortable with it. This game incorporates new idea in every world which generally keeps gameplay fresh. But I think it could benefit from more levels with ideas like the one where it rotates (It is in the trailer), as that is the only level with such a feature or any moving wall besides the frequent back and forth of some walls. But despite this, this game is not creatively bankrupt, unlike some people seem to claim (*cough cough* obeythefist *cough cough*). If I could change one thing about the game, it would be changing level 99 specifically. Quite frankly it is extremely frustrating because you move back and forth on the same path like 4 and a half times, getting progressively easier, but still extending the level unnecessarily. Additionally, the gap you have to clear at the very end is too narrow. It does not really come down to skill, but rather being lucky enough to tap your W and S key in such a way that you align perfectly (I died once because I went slightly too far). Also, hitboxes are not 100% clear. This is not usually an issue and …

Pretty annoying.

Just finished this (on standard), damn it's hard Clean simple game, no mechanics left behind, but VERY tough to execute If you think something about the mechanics doesn't make sense, think harder, cause you're missing something Would speedrun but I'm scared of hurting my hands lol Possible QoL improvements: - Show minutes and seconds - Autocharge: charge when not holding M1, rapid slash when holding M1 (so we only have to destroy one hand) - Crosshair on mouse so it's easier to see what direction we'll recoil in (if it disappears to indicate you're outside the window, even better! I had some trouble in one level with that) - Fullscreen shortcut and selectable display

Small charming little game, it isnt for me but i hope to see more from Shyguymask!
