Vollema

Hey this is a very interesting game! You have to swap to the partner who's colour matches the enemies attack to defend yourself. This makes sense in the context of the game. I however Can't recommend it, and here's why: (also beware spoilers below) [h2]The good: [/h2] [list] [*]This game has a lot of heart put into it. The story is fun and is comprehensive, from what I've seen. The humour is sometimes show, don't tell, sometimes not. [*]The gameplay is unique and interesting, I've not seen a game that tries to blend vollyball and bullet hell mechanics together like this before! [*]Each enemy attack has its own noise so you know who to swap to. [*]At least when there are two characters, the swapping mechanic is pretty fun! unfortunately, it doesn't stay that way... [/list] [h2]The less than Ideal (for me):[/h2] [list] [*] This game is not easy. At no point did it feel like I was able to get through even basic fights without struggling. [*] The swapping mechanic is ONLY enjoyable with two people, because the controls only allow you to swap forward. Later in the game you get a third Ally, who exists only to make the game more difficult, not to make it more enjoyable. [*] While each ally is colour co-ordinated, and has its own noise for needing to swap to that ally, this is where things begin to fall apart. You see, The bosses of this game have lots of hitpoints. and you have 3. and that doesn't get better with more partners. It gets worse, so much worse, by the time you get to the chapter 4 boss. You see, this boss swaps EVERY attack to the partner you just swapped from, so you must cycle TWICE every single attack, because you cannot swap backward, only forward. and as I said, this game is hard, so trying to fanatically do double swaps is both frustrating, and unfun. [*] fights outside of boss fights are completely pointless, and unavoidable. You get NO rewards for winning other than not getting a game over. Enemies ALWAYS move faster than you, and will detect you no matter what. [*] Swapping feels bad because even if you swap to the right colour before the enemy attack hits you, you'll still get hit and take damage. (the background image must fully switch, which takes longer, for you to count as being on the correct colour.) [*] You cannot play any way other than defensively. you must block three hits and then counter the fourth attack. Since there is no leveling up, party skills, or ANY other mechanics other than this one colour swapping one, you are forced to play one playstyle that is, a bit clunky in its current state. [*] You can't customize your controls, and in the overworld you can only use WASD, but in battles you can use arrow keys or WASD, with ONLY left shift (meaning WASD is not usable). [*] There is an indicator that tells you when can counter, but there is no indicator on your characters hand to show when you are countering. you just... need to figure this out. Even something as simple as the hands glowing during when you hit the spacebar to counter would give me a good idea when it can be done. [/list] Overall this game had a lot of potential, but its just too rough to try and push past the 4th boss, whos constantly backswapping colours make it impossible to have ANY fun or feel stylish about beating. Its just... unfunly hard. 6/10 Game! Fun for a while, but it gets too hard and too clunky to be enjoyable.

the art sytle is so cute and reminds me of paper mario but id love the option to change the controls or at least use both shift keys becuase its to hard for me 😔

Необычная новелла, также есть действия по типу платформера, рекомендую

A real hidden Gem. The dialogue is great, the battles are unique and challenging, and the art is charming. All of this is for free, too. Highly recommend

I wanted to come here and crack a joke about "I know a bush hates to see me coming" or something but I just played this game for a moment and I'm already rage quitting. So, why do I recommend it? It's a great game and this is 100% a skill issue. The game design is GORGEOUS. It's like a paper doll type aesthetic. The characters are super cute, and the world is so flushed out I'd easily pay $5-20 for this game. Definitely gonna go ahead and tell my (more skilled) friends to play it because its super cute and I wanna see where the story goes (and see them rage at bushes). My only note is that i wish I could change the keybindings (like I said- its a skill issue lol).

Достаточна хорошая игра.Мне,как не фанату жанра, очень понравилось.Для себя я не выделил никаких минусов,единственное НО - это отсутствие русского языка.Так же мне пришлось проходить игру буквально полтора раза,ведь пару ачивок за прохождение глав не выдало,но фиксится это перезаходом в игру(плюс с момента моей игры вышел фикс).Отмечу неплохой но короткий,и от того резко меняющийся сюжет.Файты в этой игре относительно простые,но кому то покажутся однообразными или несправедливыми.А еще здесь очень крутой разраб(не мог не отметить).В остальном же каких либо значительных штук не нашел,советую тем кто любит стилизованную графику, любителям индюшатин, ачивхантерам и тем,кто просто хочет игру на вечер.

[h1]Vollema[/h1] [h2][b]Les points positifs[/b][/h2] ✔️ Un concept intrigant qui mélange exploration et mystère. ✔️ Une direction artistique captivante, avec une ambiance qui rappelle les vieux contes fantastiques. ✔️ Une narration qui se dévoile progressivement, laissant place à l'interprétation et à l'imagination. ✔️ Des énigmes bien intégrées, qui poussent à la réflexion sans être frustrantes. ✔️ Une OST envoûtante qui renforce l’atmosphère onirique du jeu. [h2][b]Les points négatifs[/b][/h2] ❌ Une durée de vie un peu courte pour ceux qui en voudraient plus. ❌ Quelques mécaniques de gameplay qui auraient mérité un peu plus de profondeur. ❌ Par moments, on aimerait en savoir plus sur l'univers, mais le jeu préfère rester cryptique. [h2][b]Le platine[/b][/h2] 🏆 Pas le plus compliqué, mais il faudra explorer chaque recoin pour en voir tous les secrets. Comme disait un certain aventurier : "Si ça brille, c'est qu'il faut cliquer dessus !"
