Jedna z nielicznych platformówek w które aż tak się wciągnąłem.. w scott in space wcielamy sie w nikogo innego, jak nie w świnkę morką, przyjemna grafika nie jest jedynym atutem, dla mnie w sam raz na zamulające, inne wieczory ;)

Krótki gameplay;

Between the severe lag in jumping and especially in using the jetpack for the double jump, it's hard to recommend the game. When the enemies that follow you but can't be killed and just swarm all around you are added in, it's an easy pass. When 4 enemies are following you around and keep hovering above you, and you make a good jump to get away from them but then the second jump doesn't kick in and you just fall back on top of them, it gets frustrating. The game's not terribly difficult otherwise, but that turns it from being just a fun romp through some alright looking levels into something far less fun than what was going to be mediocre at best to begin with.

Short looping orchestral tracks; loose controls; messy animations...this is one of the most generic platformers that has made it's way to Steam. It's only saving grace is a guinea pig - but that guinea pig doesn't wheek OR eat it's own poop, which leads me to believe the developers have never actually seen a guinea pig.

Jokes aside...give this one a miss. Plenty of great games out there to spend your time on, so why bother with the mediocre?

P. S. A cymbal crash plays each time you jump on an enemy. Since this is your main method of disposal, be prepared to get PTSD flashbacks whenever you're at band practice.

Generic 2d platformer, jump on head to kill and collect apples
Repetitive background music
3 lines of story introduction
Don't waste your time.

A game that tries, but ultimately fails.
This is a run & jump platformer, with a story about a guinea pig saving the galaxy. It could be fun enough, but a couple of technical problems and design flaws make it an exercise in frustration instead. These issues combined create a situation where you regularly die to no fault of your own and get severely punished for doing so, which sucks the fun out of the game.

In particular:
- Jumps sometimes register late or not at all, and you'll drop into bottomless pits far too often as a result. This issue is much more prominent when playing with a controller, but happens with keyboard as well.

- You've got shields, so you can take a few hits. But they don't reset if you drop into a bottomless pit. Leaving you more vulnerable on the next life.

- Extra lives can only be gained by collecting apples. You won't go game over if you run out of lives though, BUT you'll have to clear entire levels on a single life if you've run out. Collectibles are also lost when you die. This covers both the apples, and the drops of water that later on the game you need to advance.

- Enemies and collectibles are randomized each time you start a level, which is odd. What makes this really bad though, is that which enemy spawns where does not take into account the level layout, which leads to things like larger enemies blocking smaller passages, jumps becoming impossible because there's a stationary enemy at the end that'll knock you back and guarantee you miss. or unkillable enemies swarming you.

Is this worth the half euro I spent for it? Doubtful.
Should you buy this game? I see no reason why.
Will I ask a refund? Well... The guinea pig is kinda cute.

Seriously, this game is really, really bad. The only thing you have to do is to reach the end of a level, sometimes picking up a "quest" item on the road. There are ennemies in your way but it is far more efficient to dodge them all. Jumping on their heads indeed prove difficult and I have not figured at all what determines either you are hurt or you make a hit. Anyway, you have equal chance to die than to kill the guy, so on average, you are dead by the end of the level of you don't run away (but that's what a guinea pig is meant to do, right?).

You can also pick up apples along the way. A certain amount of them will resplenish your life. Otherwise, they are basically useless.

Life is a pig problem. You have three bars of health and three lifes. I didn't quite get the difference between loosing a life and loosing them all (I re-started at the same point in both cases). As has been stressed in other reviews, once you have died, you will have to go throughout the game with only one life as the number of lifes remain at 0 until the end. This is pretty annoying. Knowing that a false jump (and, given the poor quality of the controls, you can bet you will do plenty) leading into a pit will make you instantly loose your one and only life, the game turns out to be incredibly difficult for nothing. Really bad.

Noises may be awful -especially when you are hurt or when you fall. This is more annoying than you can think of.

Are there any pros left? Not many. The main character is cute. The developpers seem to be involved. Actually it made me really sad and I have some pity for them. They seem to have tried to make a nice work with a nice guinea pig... And it just fails. Plainly.

Wargod in Space?

Good and simple platform game with a good soundtrack and environments.
On the con side i would say the jump not being sensitive to the button press and those annoying Boo like things that cannot be killed (at least not before Spiritus).

It has its weak points, primarily the writing, floaty physics, and lack of any instructions or tutorial, but given its low price, this is still a worthwhile purchase for anyone who likes their platformers to be more cutesy and less hardcore. Granted, at the $5 price point, Oozi: Earth Adventure is a much better choice, and if you're willing to spend more Freedom Planet and Shovel Knight are arguably even better, but if you're like me and love platformers, but get frustrated with the punishingly difficult ones that are all the rage on Steam, you can never get enough of well made examples of the genre that just want to be accessible, and not non-stop reflex tests. This and Oozi are also great choices for kids who are just getting into gaming. As lovingly crafted as Freedom Planet and Shovel Knight are, they might be a little overwhelming for young ones.

Not a completely terrible game, but it is the most generic 2D platformer I've played on Steam. There are far better choices available.

The protagonist in Scott in Space is a guinea pig who kills rhinos by jumping on their heads. The size difference alone makes this ridiculous, but the developers seem to have overlooked the rhinos main form of defence.

For some reason the screen fades to a complete white whenever a new area or level is entered, don't play this at night unless you want to be blinded every 5 minutes.

The one conversation I had with another character was poorly written and involved a dumb name gag which went on far too long.
