Judgement: Not Recommended
View review on Steam
When I'm trying a new game, I don't know the controls and I'm aware of it, so I'm not upset at the idea of fiddling with them. Yet, I'm expecting the game to meet me half way, either by a tutorial or by having the informations written somewhere if the controls aren't intuitive.
Thing is it seems like that this game doesn't exactly want me to play, the menu consists only in picking the language and when you're playing, you have the choice between resuming and going back to the menu.. Which actually only lead you to the house where you have to press enter to return to the menu. Also there is a really mysterious i circled with E / Q under and a mouse. Are those the controls ??? Actually no, I tried to press E and Q and it doesn't do anything.
After a little while, I found that I need to use A and D to go left and right, space to jump, enter to enter things and the left mouse button to switch between background and foreground.
Happens that my main language (French) isn't supported, so apparently AZERTY isn't supported either, thus things are becoming slightly complicated: the A on AZERTY is where is a Q on the QWERTY. I let you picture the problem.
I only played 30mn so far, I'll take my controller and remap it to be able to play (since there is 0 option), but so far my point of view is as follow: It shouldn't be a pain and needing spiders instead of hands to be able to play a game and when you're offering so many languages, you should consider that the keyboards aren't the same on every country, so if you don't want to add the support for them, at least allow people to remap their control so it makes sense for them.
Also there should be a key to go to next sentence when the little guy speak, if there is one, I didn't find it, but I sure don't need over 10 seconds to read 4 words.
[TRY TWO]
Stuck still at the beginning because of the horrendous controls, I press escape to pause the game and now have on screen B arrow right Y arrow down.
Is that a combo to unleash an attack ? We'll never know as the game was then stuck and I needed to restart.
[TRY THREE]
The jump while at the same time needing to change from background to foreground took me no less than 15mn to be able to do it, and it worked only because the character was bugged onto the red block that make you fall if you don't go from background to foreground.
The reason for that is you can't press space + left click together, you need to walk + jump then press the left click early enough to not land on the red but at the same time late enough so you land on the foreground platform and not fall.
I tried with my controller, it has been a serious mess and the same problem appears when you need to do a long jump + switch plan.
I stopped playing as the game crashed again and I don't intent to launch it once more.
I really don't recommend that game, the controls are a mess, the developer doesn't seem to be interested in working on it as they don't answer to people's questions and problems. Don't buy this game, it's one of those thing that look cute only to prove being hell because of non adapted controls.
