Speed Limit

One of the only Steam games I've ever refunded. I think a lot of the problem is that this game isn't at all what it claims to be. The game constantly mentions that it is an "arcade-style" experience, but it's definitely not. If this was a real arcade game people would put 1-2 quarters max and then walk away and say "this game sucks". The backbone of the arcade experience is tied to high scores. Arcade-style games give you many opportunities to earn points, and as you get better you'll find more and more ways to get them. This necessitates a significant amount of freedom to the gameplay, as in a game where the viable actions you can take are extremely limited there's no room for skill differentiation between a novice player and an expert. Speed Limit is an example of such a game that has no freedom. Everything in this game kills you in one hit, and such things are thrown at you constantly at a speed that no one could possibly react to. There is no score, the only thing you can do is simply survive it all, which comes down to simply memorizing the order of the obstacles and pressing the correct direction or button to dodge them. The fact that the gameplay frequently changes its visual style is irrelevant because this concept of avoiding unreactably fast one-hit kill obstacles persists through the entire game, making every stage play essentially the same. It's not actually that hard to progress, because there are relatively frequent checkpoints and you get infinite lives (note that this is also the exact opposite of how an Arcade game works), but it's never fun. I made it to the fifth stage in about 20 minutes, then gave up because it was clear that it would never get any better. I'm sure I could have beaten it, but it's simply not worth my time.

I LOVED this game. I finished the first run just now (on Arcade difficulty) and I was grinning the whole time. I will give 2 advice for people who are playing this game: #1: If you are playing this game for 1st time, Play it on Arcade difficulty. It will give you full flavour of the game without being tedious. Once you finish it once then you may decide to play it on other difficulties and you will be prepared for upcoming challenges. #2: Use a controller. There are sections which need Twin stick shooting. So use a controller. Heed my advice and you will see that this game is insanely fun. 4/5

Fresh little action arcade game with some unique ideas. Unfortunately a bit too short.

非常刺激的游戏，游戏中几乎没有任何播片过场，接踵而至的关卡与敌人带来肾上腺飙升的快感。突如其来的转场和新体验简直是酷毙了。游玩中有的地方基本要靠背板，自我感觉游戏难度适中，40~50分钟就能通关，但重复体验关卡也并非没有乐趣。最后基于游戏内容量足够用心但实在不多，可以先试玩，建议打折后再入手。

[h1] Speed Limit [/h1] [h1] Se prepare para o dia mais doido da sua vida…. das várias vidas de tanto que você irá morrer… [/h1] [list]Speed Limit é um jogo indie emocionante e cheio de ação que oferece uma jogabilidade frenética e variada. O jogo começa como um jogo de plataforma tradicional em que o jogador controla um personagem que corre em um ambiente bidimensional. À medida que o jogo avança, ele rapidamente se transforma em uma sequência de corridas em alta velocidade, em que o jogador controla veículos e deve evitar obstáculos e inimigos enquanto corre para chegar ao destino.[/list] [list]A jogabilidade diversificada é um dos pontos fortes de Speed Limit. O jogo muda de gênero e perspectiva várias vezes ao longo da jogabilidade, incluindo cenas de tiro e sequências de corrida em alta velocidade. Essa variedade de jogabilidade mantém o jogador engajado e interessado em continuar jogando, mesmo morrendo incontáveis vezes durante toda a gameplay.[/list] [list]O jogo é projetado com um estilo retrô que remete aos jogos arcade dos anos 80 e 90, mas apresenta gráficos modernos em alta definição. O estilo retrô é acompanhado por uma trilha sonora eletrônica que é perfeitamente adequada ao ritmo acelerado do jogo, claramente uma homenagem para a gloriosa época dos arcades.[/list] [list]O game é bem curto, levando cerca de 2 horas para ser finalizado na sua primeira gameplay, considerando o índice de dificuldade do game que é bem elevado, mesmo assim, uma ótima pedida para fãs de adrenalina e games com visual retrô.[/list] [list]No final fica o selo “cafézinho” de qualidade para este game, que oferece uma experiência de jogo emocionante e variada deixando qualquer fã de games antigos com um sorriso no rosto e palavrões na boca pela dificuldade kkkk[/list] twitch.tv/cafeteriaplay [list]CafeteriaCast - Seu Podcast de Games e Cultura Pop[/list]

what a weird game, it just forces you through it, button mash, go forward, die, continue, it feels like there is not skill and being push through it, unless its because i have just been playing ghousl and ghost remastered on here but its feels like infinite enemys and button mash, not good for me

Its just not fun.

I want to like this game, it seems like something I should enjoy but I just don't. I get what it's trying to do and it just feels kind of tedious rather than action packed for me. I have started this game up a bunch of times and it just fails to grab my attention. If you do buy this and you like the side scrolling shooter stuff you should buy Elevator Action instead. I recommend it because it seems to be well made. it's just not for me.
