BAIONLENJA

A monolithic structure you are thrust into source engine movement; a sword in lieu of bunnyhopping, you approach with curiosity, tailored with impeccable audiovisual design ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ridiculous game, as someone with hundreds if not thousands of hours in source movement, combining that with such a spectacular atmosphere was tailor made to me and I am incredibly excited to see what the full release brings

TLDR: great base, great vibes, great movement. I did not enjoy the level design though. Despite the fact that I didn’t really have fun, I’m leaving a positive review because I believe one day I could have fun. This is a parkour game, you would think that means “gain a lot of speed, make cool jumps” unfortunately the game doesn’t really seem to agree with that. They made the act of gaining speed fun, I’m not experienced with Source games, but “Bunny hoping” is intuitive, and from the tutorial I had a vision of wide open levels, where the challenge is going to be how to control the speed that you get. About 1/3rd of the levels are like this. The other 2/3rds seem to hate the fact that you can gain speed at all and will do everything in their power to slow you down. Theres a level in this game that’s entirely cramped corridors with monsters roaming the level. I cannot understand why you would restrict movement in a parkour game. 1/3rd of the way through the game you get effectively air dash. It halts all your momentum, and applies force in whatever direction your character is facing. Adding this into the game was a terrible decision, because the entire rest of the game now includes precision platforming, it’s just another way the game stops you from going fast. The vibes in this game are immaculate though, I’m a big fan of megastructures and bleak environments, and this game delivers on both fronts. The atmosphere is sufficiently eerie, and the sound design works really well.

[h1] Стиль, Скорость и Свобода [/h1] Baionlenja можно описать как: Стильная платформер-метроидвания с баннихопом. В игре очень крутой нарратив, нравятся все вот эти [i]«access denied»[/i] ⚠️☠️🔒, [i]*звуки металла*[/i] ☢️⚔️🔨, эпичная музыка 📢🔥🍁, и т.д. Игра выглядит и ощущается суперклассно, но че там по геймплею? Геймплей baiolenja это в основном платформинг, сначала просто баннихоп и челленжи на набор скорости, потом [spoiler] рывок [/spoiler], потом [spoiler] bladejump [/spoiler]. Баннихоп прикольно, [spoiler] рывок [/spoiler] шляпа, а [spoiler] bladejump [/spoiler] ультраимба. По реализации хотел бы видеть чекпоинты в секциях где нужно подниматься наверх (а то упадешь и проходи заново) и побольше механик (например рычаги которые на бегу/лету надо переключить). Пока что контента мало, но те 3 часа которые я провел в игре мне очень понравились. С нетерпением жду выхода из раннего доступа и желаю разработчику удачи ❄️🌌👁️. P.S. Надеюсь в игру добавят русский язык 🧾🇷🇺

Like if Yume Nikki and a CS Surf Map had a baby and a gimp suit was in the room. Insane movement, presentation, and aesthetic.

im obsessed with baionlenja's style, one of the coolest looking and sounding games i have been able to experience taught me how to b-hop properly rather effortlessly, the cursor actually showing you what you are doing right vs wrong is such a great touch hitting mach 1 was sick af, thank you dev you are absolutely cooking
