  • @ShinoSarna
    @ShinoSarna Рік тому +98

    I think the problem with .fall is lack of deeper design thinking. You see, when you REALLY think about it - the game is a type of a platformer. So it could've been drastically improved by adding powerups or stage gimmicks like we see in Mario or Donkey Kong Country. Elevators, trampolines, spikes, conveyors, enemies - perhaps powerups like double jump or limited flight... I think with that added variety it could be a great game. I hope developer makes a sequel.

    • @Graeldon
      @Graeldon  Рік тому +22

      100% correct. Great initial idea, but not enough depth to give it staying power, or to justify the price

    • @CalvinChikelue
      @CalvinChikelue Рік тому +7

      Exact same thing came to mind! The game looks just my speed enough that I wishlisted it to get on a sub $1 sale someday but otherwise it’s a game that has the basic framework that is begging for some variety. Even going beyond the minimal aesthetic & actually giving it some of the similar simplistic personality of a game like Flappy Bird via making the ball a cute mascot sprite & the field of platforms an environmental aesthetic; maybe even making it a simple grassland at the start & changing to cloud, desert, snow, volcanic & castle-styled tilesets as you progress through the levels would be amazing & grant the game that “It Factor” that would make it something you’d come back to more than once despite it’s simplicity. Right now though it’s more of a $0.99 game than it is something worth the $4.99 it asks for due to just how “student project” it looks

  • @Gortart
    @Gortart Рік тому +9

    I think I know what the hell is going with ".G".
    This game is a clone of an easter egg game called "닷지(Dodge)" that is in 곰플레이어(idk if it's still in there), which is one of the popular video player(not a video game) in Korea. The name on the steam page even says "닷G(you would read this as 닷지)" in Korean. One of the reviews claims to be the developer and has 41 hour and a half of playtime and the video on the page so I guess they just made it for themselves but put it on the steam for $2 for some reason.

    I think .fall would be a little more succesful if it had some stylization instead of simple gray boxes with some light in the background.
    While some try to strive for a minimalist design, this is too simple and lacks any distincitve elements.
    It looks more like a game prototype in beta than a full game.

    So, apparently the next game is ".hack", potentially of the G.U Last Recode collection. The last several were made by maybe 1 or 2 people, small groups... '.hack' is developed by CyberConnect2 and published by Bandai Namco, Namco having made games like Tekken and mostly games of anime like Naruto or One Piece (and I suppose Pac-Man too). Didn't think Graeldon would hit one of the big companies so soon though.
