KRUNCH

A good time-waster. Doesn't outstay it's welcome. Frustrating but never impossible (but don't forget about the Dash button like I did!) and all in all, a quality little indie product.

Speed puzzler. Not my cuppa. Fun for a while.

Recommend you try Celeste instead for same escape death chasing you concept with better execution. http://store.steampowered.com/app/504230/Celeste/ As I said the margins that allow progression can be very tight, sometimes on a diagonal angle, and with foreground elements obstructing view. The sprite for the main character needs a bit of momentum to get to full speed and loses a bit of momentum before coming to full stop. Additionally hitting any wall, foe or gears will cause you to recoil backwards sometimes stun-locking you into position until death catches up to you. I finished the first world and based on the screenshots on the store every other world seem to be a recolor of the same basic assets which is a tad disappointing. There was one instance where the game progressed me to the next level without me completing it first, perhaps due to a bug. Conclusion: Could had been nice with tighter controls or slightly redesigned levels. I liked the sprites for the most part and what is animated has a half decent animation to it. The core gameplay quickly becomes frustrating and the red splashes splattering the whole screen at every death can get a tad irritating on the eyes.
