Cursed Broom

Cursed Broom is such a cute game! It is quiet challenging for me but I am natualy not that good with jump and runs. If I figure out how to do a tricky part of the level it is very rewarding though! The dialog is really funny and the music an grafics are so cute I love it! Overall a really fun game!

I had a lot of fun playing Cursed Broom! The game got a super cute pixel art style and a fun story. The broom mechanic is tricky at first, but once you get the hang of it, it feels amazing! The controls are smooth, and the platforming challenges are just the right kind of hard, so beating each section feels very rewarding! The music and vibe are spot on and make the whole experience very pleasant. It’s a bit challenging in some areas (especially the hidden paths and collectibles), but if you like a platformer with charm and a little bit of magic, this one is a must-play. Highly recommend for anyone who loves a cute, tough game with lots of heart!

I didn't think i could finish the game, but i did manage to figure out all main game screens in the end. Definitely would have looked at a clear video for a few screens if i had found one. But kinda happy that i didn't. This felt like an accomplishment, even if just two hours long (and not getting collectibles).

Artikel zum Fazit: https://game-kritik.net/18219/cursed-broom/ Ein kleines, aber feines Hexenprojekt! Cursed Broom ist mit knapp 90 Minuten für den ersten Durchgang als ein geübter Plattformer-Spieler doch recht kurz, aber erfrischend herausfordernd. Weniger erfrischend werden diese Herausforderungen bei Einsteigern oder Kindern mit wenig Plattformer-Erfahrung wirken. Ich habe bei dem Schwierigkeitsgrad, gerade im letzten Abschnitt, dem Sturm, das Gefühl, dass dieser nicht für Kinder gemacht ist; zumindest nicht für die klassische Zielgruppe, die einfache Plattformer wie Super Mario oder Kirby gewohnt ist. Daher sehe ich das Spiel eher bei der Zielgruppe der Plattformer-Enthusiasten, die durchaus kein Problem mit Celeste und/oder Super Meat Boy haben. Für das erste Werk des Studios ist Cursed Broom wirklich ein echt poliertes Kunstwerk, was durch die kurze Spieldauer, eigentlich in der Speedrunner-Community beworben werden müsste. 00:36:08 ist da mein Rekord für Any%, wobei ich da weit weg bin vom aktuellen Rekord auf Speedrun.com. Wertung: Gesamt 77 % Cursed Broom ist ein herausforderndes kleines Plattformer-Abenteuer, indem man akrobatisches Geschick auf einem fliegenden Besen beweisen muss. Ideal für Fans von Celeste. Viel Spaß beim Zocken! Phil-kun von www.game-kritik.net

Oh boy, what a charming game. First you get hit by the cute looks, then you get hit by the challenge. Cursed Broom is not easy, but it keeps its main mechanics interesting. Granted, it is very short, like 2 to 3 hours short and that is my main problem with the game. The ending feels like the ending of the prologue. I would have loved to see where the unique movement of this game could have been taken. But like this I just want more, more of the movement, more of the music and more of the art style. Still, to me it was worth playing, great little expirience.

Very cute platformer with super fun mechanics. Plays well on Steam Deck or on PC with Controller :)

Cute game. Had a lot of fun playing it.

It is a really cute game! I love the art style! The learning curve is not too steep, however some pieces of paper are really hard to get. I'm not sure, if it is neccessary to collect them all, or if it is some kind of "achievement"? The movement of maya and the controlls are very smooth. Especially when riding the broom. I also like the music a lot! It does really fit with the atmosthere. I usually do not play platformer but I would everyone encurage to try this one. :D I also like, that Maya encurages you to try again, if you failed multipe times to get a jump right.
