But it's not great either.The main concept is actually very clever. It's something that no other game has come up with. It's used for attack, movement and defense. And this variety allows for a great number of different puzzles and combat styles. In other words, this game has a huge potential. - Presentation - 3.5\/5The music is soothing. It's not the best ost ever, but it's relaxing and gives a good atmosphere to the game. It could be worked on to be even better, however. - Music - 2.5\/5The art has its ups and downs. The particles and the main character sprites are amazing. The art is good and the animations are well-done. The enemies are good, but too simplistic. The background, however, is not that polished in comparison to these other elements. Perhaps some extra work on the backgrounds would make it look way better. - Art - 2\/5The core mechanics are great. In each level you have to get the Double Jump power-up, the Extend Pulse and the unlocking the door to the next level. You have two heart pieces that, after you get both, you respawn on the nearest checkpoint whenever you die. Also, there's the pulse mechanic that, as mentioned before, is great for puzzles and combat. However, the enemies have very simple mechanics. Just one of them has a shot that is aimed at you. This makes it too predictable. It's a game that is very easy to speedrun, because it's always the same. Perhaps more variety in the enemies would make it better. - Mechanics - 2.5\/5There is no story. And that's okay. You play because it's fun, challenging and relaxing. But there could be a story. Also, the game has only 4 levels. It's way too short. I completed it in less than an hour. I only kept playing it in order to get all the Steam Cards. - Story - 1\/5I bought this game because I got a discount cupon on the last badge I made. I had never even heard of it before. However, it's very cheap and it's worth the price. Considering that it gives you 3 cards that can then be sold, it gets even cheaper than the original price. (in my case, I profited with it, since I had the discount)It's a game I would love to see a longer and more polished version of. And a game I will recommend to indie dev friends as an example of a project that could have gone further.Overall score - 2\/5. I suppose the first thing that made me dislike this game is the fact that it is just frigging hideous looking. Just look at the screenshots... I must have been gifted this game or it was in a bundle because I never would have thought about purchasing something that looks like a half-digested sonic on acid. Add in stiff controls, lame level design and odd music and you have yourself a loser. :( Sorry developers.. Played about 3 levels of this gameBasic platforming with a mechanic of "get hit then move in a line somewhere else" aka PulseattackHaving to wait to get hit and absorb the attack so you can Pulseattack is boring having to do everytime you need to reach a platorm until you get the Doublejump powerupStages are bland...Character you play as is given no personality...Enemies and obstacles are predictable, only one enemy in those 3 levels I played in aimed for me the others shot in a set lineThe only thing you'll get rewarded for actually exploring is health and if you collect two hearts pieces you'll get to respawn at your last checkpoint, otherwise it'll be back at the beginning at the level for you.I wouldn't buy it if I were you.. Something different. It was good at first, and easy to get the hang of. But it gets a little difficult with timing. By level 3 there was a tight spot that you have to jump and hold for absorption mode, meanwhile some projectiles can't be absorbed that cross the same tight spot and I kept dying. It got too repeatative replaying the same stage up to that point to try to get past that. Otherwise it has a checkpoint mechanic, but it only gets enabled if you get both respawn artifacts. But I got sick of replaying the beginning of level 3. (2\/5 stars)Otherwise it ran well on Windows 10 on my Alienware Alpha, full screen 1080 on my 47" TV, played with an xbox360 gamepad.. No tutorial, very poor mechanics, bad design, weak game concept. What a terrible game.. Couldnt really get into this platformer. It seems like it could be a good game but its really poorly executed, first you start only by selecting a level and are thrown right into it with no explanation given, you are just there, you aren\u00b4t explained how to move and WASD is not working so I try the arrow keys and yeah thats how you move, not bad but its not really that common nowadays, the game feels ok, but really slow and runs really slow, I have a laptop and I know its not meant for gaming but when the game like this runs as bad as if I was trying to play Batman Arkham Asylum I know its not my laptops fault. Also for exiting ALT+F4 wasn\u00b4t working for me and there was no menu with ESC so I just started pressing buttons and guess what, its ENTER, thats a new one for me, not even in those old flash games in Newgrounds I played a game using only ENTER as a pause, so I wouldn\u00b4t reccommend this game unless it is polished a LOT more, I would rather reccomend searching on Newgrounds for a platformer rather than playing this game rght now. This game has an interesting mechanic that I've not seen before that's fun to use. My only complaint is that player movement feels way too slow, but the game is fun nonetheless.
