Stardrop

The game is captivating. The mechanics feel fresh and the wave dashing is fun and reminds me of mario oddessy and sunshine Mr. McFadden approved

"Stardrop" is an okay-ish low poly third person 3D platformer aimed at kids. It works, but it's also not offering a lot to gamers... and there's some serious issues with hitboxes/platforms that makes playing this frustrating at times. This features fairly low quality low poly 3D visuals which will deter a lot of gamers, understandably. Gaming is a visual medium, and it's clear the developers behind this didn't understand that. Not every "free" game really is. There's often MTX, or content locked behind DLC, or donations being requested, or any other number of things that could mislead gamers, but in this case I'm glad to say this really does appear to be a fully free game. Nothing demonstrates a developers belief in themselves and their work than giving it away without any remuneration. This is a service to themselves, and the gaming industry, and should be applauded. Of course, just because something is free, doesn't necessarily mean it's valuable. Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 5 concurrent players... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? This is a "maybe" experience... if you have a lot of free time on your hands and nothing else to do, why not? But for the purposes of a review, this isn't something I can say everyone must try. It's not quite there. Valve doesn't give us a "maybe" option in reviews, but if they did, that's what I'd choose for this.

Very solid platformer. I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes as it seems this is just the beginning of the story.

i would like more if you plzzzzzz make the damageless cheevo more lenient ;-;;;; its way too punishing a difficulty spike for a game like this and its not a short fight either unless it bugged for me and made it relly long or something :(((( otherwise its cute and i like it :)

Plain ol' fun.

Shorthop wavedash long jump is the movement tech I didn't know I needed in a platformer.
