[Citri Plays Noirwood]

nice style. i found the chatter covering up the play area a bit annoying and the game overall a bit sparse in mechanics

but i liked the visual and audio style.

You said to another user:

"not for everyone I suppose!"

I hope you understand this is essentially gaslighting. What the user said was objectively correct. Not a matter of taste.

[Troll-Mart]

really fun. wish it was longer. after the 3rd mission you should take us to a new trollossus

[Sokobird]

first level was ridiculously hard.

[Hexagon Puzzle Blocks]

it's incredibly annoying that when you have the piece directly over where you want to place it, it's actually aimed lower because of the perspective.

i can't believe you actually let this fly through to release.

[Downhill to Infinity]

why have rails if you can't even land on them? and yes i tried landing on them with x pressed and with x not pressed.

you just pass right through them.

so why have them?

re author: ahh i see. yeah i don't read tutorials. if a game can't organically train the player, then more dev time should have been devoted to player training.

but i tried it out given what you said and it felt a lot better so i updated the rating.

but just a tip for the future: people generally hate tutorials.

props to you for not having a FORCED tutorial though. that's even worse than failing to adequately train the player.

cheesycoke responds:

You should be able to grind on rails by holding S on keyboard, or Y (or whatever the top button is) on gamepad! This is mentioned on the "How To" screen.
Unless you're using a Switch Pro Controller? In that case the grind button would be X, but sorry I haven't tested this game with that one so if it ain't working it may be a quirk in the engine.

no idea what i'm doing.

[International PixelArt Gallery 2022]

i like the idea but the very first image i landed on wasn't very good and that's a pretty big deal for the overall presentation.

JamesChapp responds:

You should not judge based on first impressions. There are 72 artists and more than 210 drawings... 1 is less than 0.5% of the gallery... look at a couple more drawings... follow your favorite artists on Instagram... and as you follow artists you like and see their art... endorphins will flow through your body and you will be happier =)

it's ok but why would i want to grind out the same stuff so many times for medals and unlocks..?

[Floe]

Is there a way to heal?

hairyballbastic responds:

There are deposits of ore which you can mine in order to restore HP in level 2 and beyond
