Did they just add an invisible wall to prevent speedrunners? Adding a wall to a place where you can't get by any other means than already using glitches? Alright dude, nice to see another developer who just simply hates speedrunners.

PS. They even removed visual details from the area (small rocks) just to prevent launches? Okay.

As I am making a review anyway, going to give my review on the casual viewpoint of this mod - I would put the review somewhere between Positive and Negative review, but because of the reasons I said at the start, it's leaning towards Negative.

The good:
- Visually pleasing
- Good storyline

The bad:
- A million invisible walls. Some are OK in gaming and required for non-confusing gameplay, but when it's at the point that there are *bushes* that you can't go through simply because the game tells you so, it feels very frustrating and unrealistic
- Combat is horrible. I played it on hard, and it felt unnecessary punishing at times. Scoping with weapons is simply useless, it's as accurate as without scoping, not to mention it feels even less accurate since there is aimpunch when you scope in, but none when you don't. In all scenarios, it's better to shoot normally or with +zoom -> unzoom strategies. Good addition, but executed poorly. AR2 scope looks ugly as well though.

So this game is about spamming two buttons.

And I mean literally spam. You spam these buttons, proceed to next level where there are enemies with a bit more hp so you need to spam faster. You gain a special attack after killing x enemies for few seconds, but basically what it does in this game is that you can chill for a bit and spam a bit less for a moment.

There are two types of enemies in this game (aside from just having less or more HP): One that just runs at you, second that runs at you but suddenly switches to another side of the screen. The second variation however, doesn't matter at all since you will be spamming both buttons constantly anyway.

There are a few characters in the game, but by unlocking two I realized that they are actually worse than the starting character, which means it's just the best to level up the start character and keep spamming until you beat the game in an hour to one and half. (The game is longer if you want to get all achievements.. which is just spamming on stages that you already beat.)

Music and art are alright I guess.

Summary
No disadvantage from missing enemies, so if you want a two-button smashing simulator, go for it, otherwise, just stay away.

Even the developer voted this game down, which already on its own tells enough whether you should play this buggy mess or not. Anyway, I am not going to repeat everything wrong about this game, I'll just tell something that I haven't seen anybody else mention.

So, the ground level of a finished game should be that it should be beatable from start to finish, right? This game, is not. There are total of 5 chapters if I recall correctly, and the chapter 4 is totally impossible: I tried it through multiple times, asked in forums about it, and no hope. Back then, I even added the developer and ask them directly about it, and their answer was... they didn't remember how to beat it either. We can come to conclusion that it is not possible. The reason why I tried quite hard to beat it was because I wanted to speedrun (back then) lowest rated game on Steam but.. can't speedrun something that doesn't function, so I abandoned it.

PS
The developed mentioned in the review that they don't even have access to the files anymore, so this game will be forever broken, don't even consider buying it.

15-20 mins of repetitive, boring puzzles that have already been used in dozens of games already. This manages to be even worse. The puzzle is not even randomized (it shuffles but the shuffle is always the same pattern), the artwork is not even worth making the puzzle (you can just go to various websites for better pictures instead of the pics that the game "rewards" you). The dev didn't bother to get any artists to his/her game anyway, as the artwork is actually stolen too, pathetic.

This is just another achievement idler game and shouldn't even exist imo.

Alright, first off it's nice to see this game in Steam right now, as I was one of the people who voted it up on Steam Greenlight when that was a thing. However, I'm disappointed due how much potential the game had and what the final product is. It is still what the trailer provides.

Pros:
- It indeed looks like Nintendo 64 graphics
- The controls are pretty smooth

Cons:
- The game is extremely short. If you see the hours of the other reviews, you get some grasp. Don't look at mine, I've speedran the game a few times hence my count is a bit higher.
- All the quests are stupidly easy.
- Only one side quest, which I liked though. You get the reward after you completed all the levels which makes the reward 100% useless.

I guess that's all from this game? It is just so short and easy that there's not much to say. If you want a nice playthrough in one sitting, this is one of those games.

Uh, what is this supposed to be? What I see is just a bland 3d-version of flappy bird. The buildings you have to avoid repeat themselves in few meters, there's no ground even though you can hear car horns over and over, you can't go above the buildings.. There's just no idea. The death feels more annoying than "oh that was my fault" as there is no animation or effects for the death what-so-ever.

What about the settings? They are a complete joke: Reverse controls. That's it, nothing else. No rebinding, no graphics settings, no volume control.. And heck, the whole game doesn't even have a quit button!

There's a really similar game that came out years ago and does much better job than this and it's called "Race The Sun". Go check that out instead of even thinking of touching this garbage.

PS. Oh and my playtime tells enough about my opinion about this. I actually played it 2 minutes to get the full experience of it but to write a review I needed 5 so whatever. So what new did I learn in those 3 minutes? They actually implemented a pause button! - but it doesn't pause the sounds, you can still hear the loop of the wings and car horns, just please.

Short, almost no content, nothing special that would've amazed me. This mod doesn't bring any new mechanics, puzzles or guns whatsoever.

The game ends like a wall, since it's supposed to have 2 extra chapters coming someday, but at the point I am reviewing this, it is really too unfinished and as previously mentioned, too short.

Positive sides? The level design is amazing, just if it had more content with the same quality I'd respect this mod more.

- Forces you to play it with a controller if you have one. As a PC gamer this makes me cry inside and the game is almost impossible to play, top of that I don't have enough buttons on my controller to play this even if I wanted to.

Price / hour = 2€ or more

Recommendation: Buy on sales (-60% or more)

One of the strongest points is that the game features a good soundtrack, which is unexpectedly good for a puzzle game. It's not just a single,quickly made song looped over and over which you get bored of; It has multiple well made songs that are enjoyable for the whole playthrough. It is true that they are not video game - stylish but I don't personally mind that, I found it amusing for this type of game.

As I read down the other reviews, there is an option that you can use your mouse to do it. I should have realised that. I played my whole playthrough using only keyboard, which is the same outcome as you'd use a controller with:
The controls are not all bad with only keyboard, as you can 100% the whole game with it, including achievements (e.g. get a gold medal in every level) Altough, it was frustrating to adjust to get the right angle in tight corridors. That made getting the gold medals annoying. So I really recommend turning that mouse option on from settings, as I got th gold medal from the last level with 1-2 tries by using it

The game is extremely short because of how easy it is. Getting a medal from every level is pretty much guaranteed with the first time you clear it, and it doesn't take that much effort to get your way to silver and gold medals.

Besides the odd controls, RNG is a thing that I don't understand why it was put on this game. If you want to beat your own records on some stages, you might want to restart your level multiple times to get ideal spawns for objects and even the rotation direction of the windmills. The levels are pretty different from each other which is a big plus.

The graphics are decent. It's pretty minimalistic as a puzzle game should have and the colors makes it really easy to understand what a certain object or wall does. On some stages (as you can see from the Steam store screenshots) there is some big colorful walls, and I got to say that it does not look good, rather plain and unpleasant to watch.

Pros and cons

Pros
+ Good soundtrack
+ Fun and various puzzles

Cons
- Too short
- RNG on some objects
- Odd controls if played only with keyboard / controller

Oh my god, the best demo kinda thing I've played!

Pros:
+ Excellent humor, laughed pretty much the whole Intro
+ Lovely graphics design, I love how the eyes follow your cursor !
+ Sweet, sweet music
+ Nicely fast-based game, I hope that Episode 1 has harder levels though, didn't die once at Intro, but it's supposed to be only Intro so...

Cons
- Long waiting time to get even episode one of the game, so it's frustrating to wait, because you know how good game there is out there in development but you can't play it.
- Too easy, read the last pro according to this.

Definitely play it, it's only 15 minutes long and free, and put the EP1 to your wishlist if you liked it so you know when it's going to be released!

To Developers: Please make the game harder, so the game would be fun to speedrun or some kind. Thx.
