During the period of feudal Japan, women had few rights. Because the heroine of this game also has an unenviable fate. but do not despair - you have an ally. However, you need to be smart to escape from captivity.

It's very similar to Huge Pixel's other puzzle platformer 'More Dark'. In fact, it looked so similar that I just had to pick it up because I had really enjoyed playing 'More Dark'. And this game is just as good.

Super Geisha Neon is a mix of a platformer with a side view and puzzles in the best traditions of the old school. You will need accuracy in jumping, consistency in actions and a bit of ingenuity to find the right sequence of actions. And a pixel art that is comfortable to the eye will allow you to plunge into the era of eight-bits, when chiptune sounded especially sweet. Just like in this new game!

I didn't like the game in general. What is its difference from the other hundreds of similar 2D puzzles? An abundance of neon flowers? In general, I don't recommend it, the game didn't catch on anything.

Starts off promising but quickly devolves into annoying.

Wish the dev would stick to making straight up action / platformers.

Ignoring the odd grammar and word choices for dialog the puzzle platform design is fine, but not inspired enough to be a draw over other options for this type of play.

There is nothing to tell here. All those who have loved arcade games since the days of the dandy are recommended.

Super Geisha Neon is yet another of literally thousands of 2D retro pixel platformers infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere. This console ported game is a puzzle platformer with a gimmick, you control two characters, the titular Geisha who doesn't want to marry the Shogun, and a mouse/rat who will help you escape. Pressing space switches between characters. The mouse is small enough to pass through obstacles the Geisha can't and so on. That's all there is to it, and the gimmick doesn't add anything to the tired, dead 2D pixel platformer genre that would be of value to gamers.

From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard.

A choice was made to use obsolete, decades old retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result.

There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customise the graphics settings. There's no way for gamers to ensure this is running at the native resolution of their displays... there's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. There's no way for gamers to try improve the low quality graphics.

The controls can't be customised, which will be an annoyance for many, but it can also render the game unplayable for differently-abled gamers.

Because this is a console game, it carries a number of deliberate design deficiencies. Compromises were made to cater to the inferior console gaming appliances that the game was designed for. These are unfortunate compromises and limitations that PC gamers shouldn't be forced to accept, but it's evident that PC was a second thought for the console-centric developers. The game is deficient as a result of these choices, and would have been so much better without the handicaps that designing games for consoles forces upon a game. Once more, console peasants have made gaming worse for everyone.

Some of the defects in the game can be attributed to the choice of using the GameMaker Studio construction kit/toolset. This is a very poor quality toolset favoured by amateur developers as it's cheap and requires little in the way of development skill, but unfortunately has very limited capabilities. Just as you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear, you can't make a great video game if you use a terrible engine. GameMaker Studio is most commonly used to make retro pixel shovelware and cash grabs.

A strong argument can be made that construction kits like GameMaker Studio should never be used to make games for profit, as the "developer", HugePixel has done here. These construction kits are intended to teach people some of the basic principles of game development, and to make small demos to pass around with friends. They're not intended to replace to actual work of real, professional game developers. So it's inappropriate when amateurs try to use these for profit, without any actual, real game development effort taking place. This doesn't result in products that have any real meaningful value for gamers.

These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game.

The poor quality of this game is reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 4 players. This is a remarkably low number, and now, the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 50,000 games for gamers to choose from (over 9,000 completely free titles), the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected.

Warning: Review Manipulation![www.forbes.com]

This game features a number of fake positive reviews from accounts known to be in the business of review manipulation/paid reviews. They're all written in either Russian or broken English, appear at almost exactly the same time, very shortly after the game launched on Steam, all have a direct Steam purchase of the game, and the accounts are used consistently to write fake reviews for asset flips and other cash grabs/scams. The "Positive" review score on this game should be disregarded due to this blatant, unethical review manipulation. This is done to deceive and scam gamers into paying for a bad product.

Super Geisha Neon is massively overpriced at around $6 USD, it's not worth it given the defects and shortcomings with the product, especially considering the unethical nature of the developer. Remember that if you buy a game from an unethical developer, you're putting your money at risk.

Profile Features Limited!

Valve have marked this game as "Profile Features Limited" at the time of this review. This is usually caused by poor sales figures and low community acceptance for the game (to date). Until this status changes, this game will not give you +1 to your Game Collector badge count, appear in profile achievements or any other Steam meta-accomplishments, nor can it be displayed in some profile showcases. If these factors are important to you, it may be worth holding off before buying this game.

A cheap and fun puzzle platformer.
It's not hard at all, but expect 3 or 4 levels to make you go "oh, I did that in the wrong order".
7/10, good for what it is, left me wanting more. Also, easy 100%.

Easy to learn and very stylish platformer with simple puzzles. It's cozier than many other platformers. Although the sounds in the game seemed too obtrusive to me at times.
