Reviews for "GuraQuest(Old)"

Wow, this really impressed me! I'm gonna sound like a jerk for saying this, but based off of the rather plain first impression with no title screen, no fanfare, just basic instructions given with boring flat text, I thought this was just gonna be a really generic and bad platformer using a vtuber to disguise it, to make it seem better than it is.

But boy, was I proven wrong: I loved so much of this! Once I started moving, I loved even the basic movement, especially the jumps with their satisfying shockwaves and bounce sounds. The animations in general were very cute and bouncy, with the standout being how Gura looks like she is being dragged by the trident when dashing. Speaking of, I liked the dash move and it's multi-purpose utility in that it not only carries you a long distance, but it also sticks into walls and lets you spring upwards (and I like the way you can tell if you can still dash by whether the trident is floating nearby). I specially love how challenging the levels got and how fast they did so: it really forces you to be creative and get good quickly at using the various moves effectively (and challenges you to collect the secrets as well)! I also love all of the hidden tech like momentum slingshotting by dashing into springs and gripholds, and how the levels are intentionally designed to force you into learning them in subtle ways. Only complaint I could really think is that it might be good if there was a save system, but nonetheless, well done, well done!

very nice pixel art and animation. The Gura design is nice as well. The music is simple and short and doesnt get annoying over time. The platforming is precise and tight, but can occasionally be a little hard to control at times because you cant tell what direction your facing whilst dashing. But that is mostly a nit-pick, because of the frequent checkpoints. The game design is really good (not just for an NG game) and only tells you the controls and showing you via the gameplay how to play. The game also rewards light exploration via the shrimp collectibles and adds a little challenge for those who want it. Every element of the game feels like its being used to fullest potential. The game is fairly repayable due to the collectibles and time trial element. For what it is, 5 stars. But I feel like this isnt all there is. This feels like an unfinished piece to bigger game.

vv cute, controls are good too!
