Junkster

I've gotta say I am impressed to the point I feel the need to make a positive review. Every once and awhile you come across a game that you can tell someone put a lot of time and effort into just by the little added details, additional animations and sound effects that aren't required for the game to function, and just crafty ways the characters move and function. The game is really fleshed out and unique down to the smallest things. This is one of those games. Even the main menus done with their theme and complete, well made animations instead of just buttons is excellent. Little hidden gem at the time I write this definitely worth $10. I bought as an "Eh, this looks like fun and something I would enjoy since I like robots and building things." It's a perfect blend of building things to solve puzzles, platforming, and exploration as you try to find those last hidden collectables around the levels. It scratches the itch just right to where you want to go back into the levels to get the things you missed, or not finish the level until you 100% it the first time through. I've had a one or two instances where the current puzzle/obstacle in the level was a bit tough to figure out, but not unbearably so, then all of the sudden you get that "Oh jeez I know what the solution is." Not a super long game, but a well made game that is fun to play and will keep you entertained for a few afternoons definitely worth the price listed. My one and only 'complaint', would be in the level 'A Fridge Too Far', you have to get a piece from a robot flying in a circle overhead. I ended up looking up a video online of someone else playing it to figure out that you don't kill the robot or walk into the part he is carrying (which is how you collect other loose parts in the world). You have to use the 'deconstruct' button to take it from him and can do it from a small distance. This literally never occurred to me since you 'deconstruct' buildings and robots you build, but you smash/attack other parts in the world or enemies to free non-assembled parts and collect them. In other words, you have to treat this specific enemy like a building bolted to the ground, and not an actual enemy. However once you figure this out, it is simple enough and the same mechanic/method is used in later levels.

Fun Game Easy Achievements Easy 100% Collection Full price is acceptable Wish there was more levels. DLC? Junkster 2: Electric Boogaloo?

I like it

This is a fun, charming game that reminds me of 3D platformers I played on PS2 and Gamecube years ago. Though I've only played the game for about an hour as of this review, I've found the game to be fun, good to control, and fairly creative with its building puzzles. I especially enjoy trying to get the more hidden, out of the way collectibles, which is always a plus for me. I can recommend Junkster to anyone who enjoys a good 3D platformer, especially at such a low price.

Primer reseña en español, me recuerda a los juegos de Lego y de Crash Bandicoot. Esta muy bueno

Short but really enjoyable

Peak visual style and aesthetic choices all the way around. All the basic mechanics are very solid, I wish some of the puzzles were expanded on further -- it almost feels like a solid proof of concept. I gotta sing it praises even if it's a bit short cuz at its asking price, the basic experience over-delivers. The main downside: There's a few and far-between larger enemies to fight which do leave a lot to be desired. It can't be excused by the simplicity of the combat, either, the enemy design and behavior just weren't quite IT for those larger enemies.
