Rising Dusk

O jogo é divertido, tem uma arte bem bonita é tem boas musicas, eu adorei a sua mecânica das moedas, sua gameplay responde muito bem porém o jogo não tem suporte para controle; Eu tive um bug com o jogo que eu entrei no chão, mas foi algo bem especifico. Rising Dusk é um bom jogo com uma mecânica diferente que vale apena ser jogado é eu o recomendo.

일본 설화를 버무린 퍼즐-플랫포머 게임. 코인을 피해 가며 클리어하는 기믹이 자칫 지루해질 수 있는 부분에 긴장감을 더해줘 생각보다 재밌게 플레이했다. 참고로 마네키네코 코인은 챌린지 해금을 위한 것이고, 카세트테이프는 게임내의 OST 컬렉션을 위한 것이므로 꼭 전부 모을 필요는 없음

Anti-capitalism platforming action! Fun game with great visuals, fun boss battles and enjoyable puzzle platforming. I would have played to completion but I hit a wall after clearing the east and west caves and could no longer progress. I'm assuming this is due to completionest reasons (I did not collect every cat etc it's just not how or why I play games) regardless of the literal wall though I'd recommend this game just on the amount I did play which is about 90% of the stages. My only recommendation would be enabling controller support otherwise solid 8/10 easy and worth the price.

This is a 2D retro pixel platformer with an old Japanese folk take theme (you can see the kappas in the screen shots). The game has a singular gimmick, to solve the various platformer puzzles, you must collect (or avoid) the right number of coins. As you can see in the screenshots, blocks have various numbers on them, when you collect that number of coins, the blocks destabilise. While you can remap the controls a little, the mapping doesn't work well. The game does display in full screen, but resolution is fixed and graphics options are otherwise fixed, so the game falls beneath minimum standards for PC. Despite being released in 2018, the game uses retro 2D pixel "art" as a substitute for acceptable modern PC graphics. This makes the game look quite ugly and jaggy. There could be some potential with the game if it was developed properly for PC and featured up to date graphics.

Didn't know I owned this, but that didn't really matter...

Don't let the graphically awkward large numbers on the blocks deceive you. This game is otherwise quite beautiful, and design-wise has good attention to detail. Progressing through the game is most often quite easy, but it is in collecting the optional golden cats and cassette tapes where the meat of the game lies. Great music, unique and interesting puzzle mechanics, lovely Japanese fairytale vibe. Some stuff I didn't like: - Too many auto-scrollers (forced speed through the level--and it's SLOW). Especially the vertical level near the end suffers from this, since you can die a lot near the top and have to suffer through the whole thing again. - You can collect quest items (and Yokai Remains) before knowing what they are even for, then when you deliver them you don't get the dialogue you would have gotten without them. Even after beating the game, I didn't even know [spoiler] Yokai Remains were required to beat the game[/spoiler] until I started looking at speedruns.

Wll I recommend this? For 5 Bucks? Yes! It's an interesting little I would almost say puzzle platformer. I personally enjoy the oldschool graphics so thats pretty nice. The controls are a bit floaty, so perfect execution ist not always easy. You can "slip" off or on many little rocks to jump on, if you cannot completely reach the top of a rock you may still jump on it if you almost reach standing ground. So there is a little help to counter the floaty controls. If you want to collect everything in a level, you have to basically play them multiple times. Mostly you can split it into two routes, no coin and many coin route. Slight variations to those but basically you have to play most levels these two ways to get all the collectibles. Which is ok, makes you get more out of a level and because you can only collect some coins in a level because some will make you die, you actually have to think just a little bit before you do a thing. That unfortunately means, you have to somewhat memorize the path before going for it. That is not a problem in most levels. I found 2 Auto-Scrollers so far, and by God I hate them. Slow pace you cannot do anything against, long traversal times for small areas and you have to waltz through the whole thing, before you can really know, which coins are safe or needed to pick up. These 2 Levels I found so far suck, they are also the worst when it comes to foreshadowing which coins are good and which are not, rest of the levels are good until now. Hitboxes on some enemies are a bit strange, espescially when going against tanukis, it is kind of annoying. So that is a little flawed. Launching creatures into the air by jumping into them from beneath, sometimes will make them walk on air for a short duration. So it isn't perfectly made, but this bug at least rarely ever hurts you in any way. Also it crashes sometimes, espescially when entering the shop, so you will have to restart the game sometimes, but no progress will be lost at least. The soundtrack is quite unique, I think basically every level has a unique sound, so thats pretty cool. Haven't played it to the end yet, but I am pretty entertained.
