How's the game?

[himmatsj]

I like atmospheric indie games, and platformers as well. Was thinking of getting this on the new Groupees bundle. Worth it?

[meatfish]

i think so

[RealAngel]

I dont think so.
It has nearly NOTHING in it.
Basically it is a labyrinth and you must go through it finding some moons/coins.
The game gives you nothing to do...you just jump and run through this labyrinth ("run"...its more like slowmotion).
Sometimes you run one way for like a minute only to see a dead end.

Also it changes its rules.
Normally everythink that is deep black is a wall but sometimes things that seems like walls are none and you can walk through it.
If you look at those screenshots you see the whole game says you "Black is a wall" and then it changes its rules and don't tells you unless you wall/jump through one with pure luck.

I searched for an example of another game but could not find one so I have to give you a smple of what it feels like:

It feels like Metroid without enemys, with just a hand full of "puzzles", NO challanging jump'n'run passage and no leveldesign.

Its more like an interactive screensaver...
The map looks like a destroyed worms-map.

At least the alien itselfs looks kind of good but it does not matches the background.

Just a rly rly RLY boring game.
This game where you balance a ball through a labyrinth to a hole is more exciting then this cuz u need skill and have actually something to do during the game AND its challenging.

Oh I forgot to mention:
No menu, no real tip which key is for what (f is fullscreen...pressed it by accident...good luck finding the others!), every setting you want to change can ONLY be changed in the game-data-files itself with a texteditor.
Same boring "song" ALL THE TIME.

So, in other words, it's "hipster-trash", right?

[RealAngel]

Yeah exactly XD

This game has gotten kinda old and predates many of the recent "instant-classics". If you enjoy atmosphere with a fitting soundtrack to accompany the game's strong emphais on exploration then you will enjoy this game very much. It is one of my favorites and I have played it several times before it came to steam and a couple of times after.

The developer has proven himself to be consistently competent throughout each of his projects. The design and workings of each game he makes are cohesive and allow the player to have fun without the restriction of unfitting or poorly thought game mechanics. Simple, elegant, fun games and Lunnye is certainly that.

p.s. there is nothing hipster about this game nor the developer.

well I love the mood - would buy again :D

[Rufian]

Yo no termino de entenderlo.

[BJesse93]

so confused this game is weird in my opinion

[Berahlen]

No. Even for an atmospheric exploration game, it's incredibly slow-paced, empty, and embarrassingly poorly optimized for as little as is going on. You're less likely to find yourself soaking in the mood of the game than holding an arrow key for several minutes with your forehead in your hand because it takes bloody forever to get anywhere.

I found myself enjoying the coin hunt more than I thought I would. Game has a nice atmosphere on the surface of the world but the labyrinth areas are too geometric, which hurts it a bit. There's also a few good and challenging segments near the end. Worth it if you likecollectathons.

I love games like this. Loved Knytt and Knytt Stories, of which this seems to be based. Do not like this at all.
