I was practically tearing up when transitioning from the tutorial area, sand surfing into the open world segment with the music kicking in. Can't wait for the full release, what a great nostalgia kick!

This part gave me goosebumps. Knowing you were about to start your adventure into the great unknown was an exhilarating feeling!

I wouldn't call it the "hardest platformer", but I would definitely say it has one of the steepest learning curves I've experienced in a long time.

And you'd be right. I feel a little stupid calling the video, "the hardest platformer i've ever played", because it gets a lot easier as soon as you understand the mechanics of the game.

I'm having so much fun too and the music is so good. Only at ~300 coins, so almost halfway throught the 688 door(which I assume is the end for now, but I could be wrong and hope so 😂)

23:00 you skipped an entire 5th of this level doing this, bravo unironically, the speedrunners are gonna love that

That tower is one of the biggest and most challenging areas of the game, I absolutely loved climbing it. There's a way to get to the roof if you keep trying, the view from the top is breathtaking!

I thought I would be the only one to compare this game to Twilight Princess. The sound effects are even similar. I was in the same boat as you I found the demo on steam and now I'm obsessed with the idea of creativity returning to gaming.

I love the world, I hope the final game will have more story and less steep learning curve. Some areas are very hard with little checkpoints.

I completely agree. This game is a little unforgiving..

It truly looks like Rayman 2, i love it

i gotta say, i've played a lot of platformers with ball-bustingly hard challenges forcing you to master your unique moveset to succeed, but i don't think a single one of them was in 3d

One of my favorite games rn

Preach brother! 😤

i hope in the full game they add an extended tutorial that teaches you about bouncing & sliding and all that because this demo's tutorial basically gives you nothing in the way of movement besides jumping and wallrunning

this would make it big as a streamer zoomer rage-bait game but they're going for the y2k nostalgia gamers instead

I connected it more with skyward sword initially from the composite effect, but I can totally see the twilight princess vibe to it too. The visuals really attracted me to the game along with the music.

@BrightSapling

Yes! The ambience and atmosphere of this game are lovely. ☺

I struggled with this too, until I learned how the mechanics truly work and understood how the devs placed secrets. Its only hard because of how finicky the controls and physics are. The wall run and jump barely works and the gravity is too high. Once they fix the physics and give a proper tutorial, I doubt it will be as hard. Because they literally teach you nothing in the demo.

I find the controls to be very tight and responsive, I have no problem with gravity or wall running/jumping, but the level design can sometimes work against it. There are some puzzles that are easier to pull off and/or just plain fun to do and replay, and then there are some that require platforming that seems wonky and are hard to consistently pull off even on repeat attempts after succeeding. They need to find that balance of what a fun (and hard but fun) platforming challenge looks like. I think some proper tutorializing, like you mention, or slighly more linear progression of levels/puzzles that teach you a part of the movement scheme will go a long way. Right now, if there's some move you don't know you can pull off, you get stuck in certain places.
