CICADAMATA"

awesome

A game that oozes style and outclasses the latest big-budget attempt at the aesthetic. What's the MATA with you? Just buy it already

Masterpiece if you are a movement player, otherwise, its pretty short, story is interesting, UI/UX and HUD are incredible and it clearly has a soul. 1000/10 for me, but if we are reasonable, if you aren't up to repeat the same levels and challenge your best runs, then this game is a 2 hour game with lot of style, so it becomes a 8/10, because those 2 hours are very well made.

Really fast paced and fun game, I hope there is post launch content though, I know it's only 10 bucks but I beat it in a bit over 90 minutes.

At the risk of sounding cringe, it's games like this that make me love video games. I love everything about CICADAMATA" I love how to the point the game is. It wastes no time getting you to the meat of the game. I love how the game feels to play. The game controls incredibly well, and the "kill-with-skill" point system makes it a lot of fun to chase high scores. I love the level design. Most levels have a way of guiding you to a path through, but are also open enough to encourage unconventional pathing and optimization for scores. I love how the game sounds. Everything from the music, to the stomping footsteps, to gunshots and point sounds, to AEGIS's chatter. I love the game's visual style. The blocky level features and bright textures, the character portrait and all the visual noise on the HUD, even the menus and fonts all feed into it. I love the effort put into Steam Recording functionality! The game automatically places marks in the timeline for things like restarts and PBs. The game is top to bottom excellence and I hope the flowergarden team is proud. Made with love, played with love. TEAR FLESH FROM BONE

I saw this game on my Steam game calandar and was incredibly interested by it, I never got to far into ultrakill, but I enjoyed how the game played overall, after showing this game off to friends, I was convinced and ended up buying it. This game was really easy to get into, the gameplay was fun and didn't feel repetitive in the slightest, I was excited for each up coming level just to see the level design and how quickly I could get through it with just my first time seeing it. Each transistion or cutscene reminded me a lot of armored core and how you were more of a weapon being used to deal out missions, and you only get one gun, which is part shotgun and railcannon, I adored using the rail cannon, speeding around and trying to shoot every enemy in the air with the railcannon was really addictive. The movement is very reminscient of ultrakill, having multiple jumps (up to 3) and dashes that get re-charged if you kill an enemy with one, the level design in this game is stunning, it felt like going through parts of mega structures at times. I remember reading a review where someone stated that people complained this game was too woke? I don't get whats woke about the game, maybe im just blind !SEMI SPOILER!!!! but most of the story you get at the end was about I believe to be 2 girls having a breakup? well what is there to really expect from the internet, though I am still a tad bit confused on the story altogther, I'm certainly going to try and delve more into it to fully understand the game for what its worth. Though from what I caught when I played the game seemed like it was about losing and finding yourself, or maybe it was just about one. I found it heart warming to see a message at the end of the game saying "This game was made for those who have lost hope" Thank you to the developer for making this game! This was one of the best games I've played this year and I'll certainly come back to it!

one of the few games where the epilepsy warning should be taken seriously
