Looks okay but nothing amazing. Seems like a step back in a way and the level design bugs me as it looks awfully blocky.
There's some slopes there but only one angle of them.
Is it really too much to ask for smooth varied terrain in a 2D platformer?
Am I just too old school for the basic blockiness of today, of which we had back in the early 8-bit days but its considered good now for some reason.
Heck water is straight and flat, how bout some waves or something, anything.
The whole game just looks lack luster to me and well it is clearly a budget title but just looks so cookie cutter bland.
Could compare it to Croc 1 and 2 on the Gameboy color in a lot of ways.
Okay not that stale but eh, they could do so much more to make it look nicer but eh, it does look fairly decent, it might be a better way to introduce the characters to new players and at a cheaper price so not bad I guess.
Still I think many could find a better 2D indie platformer without too much trouble, good lot of them out there now and well most with the same blocky design so not missing much there.
You know, I kinda wish it didn't use 3D models and was hand drawn to give it a unique art styel at least.
Maybe just do like Guilty Gear and limit animation frames with a fancy cel shading effect.
Guess we might get a "64-bit" effect as a secret that just color limits and mosaics everything so there's that I guess.
