ASCENT: Crash Landing

Fun, short and easy 3d platformer. Takes under 3 hours to 100%, and definitely worth the price especially on sale. Works great on the steam deck as well.

Это небольшая игра-головоломка с приятной музыкой и графикой. Вам предстоит отправиться на различные острова, собирая синий сферы для прогресса. Эта игра поистине успокаивает, но проходится чуть больше чем за час) К покупке советую, 10/10.

The game sucks and feels unfinnished

Nice and cute game, plays like Crash Bandicoot :D

Really enjoying the game. Particularly like the graphics and how easy the game is to play.

This game looked competent but also appeared to have some comically bad things in it like a ridiculous looking protagonist. This thing is like a humanoid platypus with a nondescript furry mammalian head and large comedically stylized eyebrows. It could probably go down in history as the worst looking main character in any video game, but the game itself can be cut some slack because it's an indie game that doesn't appear to be broken in any way. In the under two hours it takes to complete the little adventure you go into levels and collect "sparks" while fighting a couple bosses and essentially making your way to the exit. There really isn't much content here, but the music and atmosphere make it worth it. I really loved this games music, especially during one ice level where this very wholesome indie-guitar tune starts giving off Christmas vibes. The tempo is just a little off but for some reason that makes it more charming. A little bit of exploration is needed to collect the sparks but it really took me no more than five minutes of searching when I got lost. Nothing in this game is difficult, but nothing is broken either. Except the keyboard controls. They're horrendous, comedically bad in fact. Especially since the dev does some perplexing things like make the ship controls use arrows while the main character controls with WASD. To activate things you press 'Y' and to attack you press 'enter'. I kind of liked that the controls were horrible because it made the game more difficult to figure out, but you probably want to use a controller. Game is too short and easy to give a strong recommendation but the numerous minigames and the wonderful vibe it gives off makes me give it a positive rating. If this were released by a team of developers I would call it utterly atrocious, but as its own little thing that I paid $5 for I liked it just enough.
