Amelite

A cute little platformer for 40 minutes if you have nothing to do

Ever gotten mad while playing a platformer? Was it by dying over and over again? Yes to both questions? Well Amelite will still make you mad in the same way, but you can at least make your own platforms. Which is what you probably wanted to do while dying in those other games. So... That's nice! The story is short but sweet and the levels have a nice progression. Except maybe lvl 19... Curse you lvl 19... Good luck fellow platform players, and all hail the Blob!

The level design feels unengaging due to slow-moving elements and uninteresting platform mechanics, like moving platforms that lack variety or excitement. Levels fail to maintain momentum, which can cause players to lose interest. Punishing mechanics, like falling into a lower area, further frustrate rather than challenge players. Suggestion: Introduce more dynamic elements, such as faster-moving platforms, environmental hazards, or unique interactions. Level 19 is particularly punishing because the player mechanics actively work against progression, creating an unfair difficulty spike. The drawn line mechanic feels visually and mechanically clunky, with two-way collision adding unnecessary frustration. Visual cues for paths or hidden areas are lacking, leaving players uncertain about where they can go safely. The auto-climb feature often causes players to climb into undesirable areas, breaking the flow. If climbing is a core mechanic, allowing the character to climb up or con...

A cute little platformer with a very calming story to tell and a small twist, which is you creating your own platforms. It is quite short, but nonetheless I believe I have died over 100 times. 80 of which were in level 19. The game does a very good job of teaching you how to play and get around various obstacles through it level design. If you are up for a game to occupy you for a quick moment and you like platformers this is for you. Also it is not super hard (other than the afore mentioned level 19). I guess you could speed run it if you're into self hate?

This is a fantastic platformer, with a creative use of a cool mechanic. It's on the shorter side, but it's really fun to speedrun (and achievement hunting takes some time), so you can get a lot of value out of it. Great music, sound design, and visuals, and the movement feels very clean. Recommended for Celeste fans especially!

I did not enjoy Amelite. Not every platformer has to be Celeste, but why would anyone play a platformer that's so much worse than Celeste? Here's what you get in Amelite: [list][*] Terrible writing. Sentences are uncapitalized, the dialogue is irrelevant, and the ending resolves nothing. [*] Uninspired level design. Plus aesthetically speaking, the game is way too blocky, and the obstacles are too low-res. [*] Infuriating design: Amelite features one of my least-favorite platformer designs, namely some pits being survivable and leading to secrets, while others kill you. Have fun jumping into all pits, I guess. [*] Lack of polish and juice. [*] Dubiously designed achievements. E.g. one achievement asks you to beat all levels without dying, but using the official Level Restart button doesn't reset the death counter; you have to go back to the main menu instead. That's bizarre. Also, this achievement for beating the game with 0 deaths can apparently nto be gained by beating each level w...

Fun and sweet.

Very charming game. The graphics and sound design are very pleasant and you can tell right from the opening cutscene that a lot of love went into making it. The way the character moves felt very natural to me so it was easy to maneuver. Levels have a good difficulty progression and new mechanics are introduced throughout the game so it stays interesting. It's pretty short but has high replayability as it's designed to be speedran and there's interesting achievements to work for. I think it is well worth the money and I'd buy it again. Something to note before buying is that if your screen display does not fit 16:9 dimensions and is more square, then the sides of the game might not fit properly on your screen and you will not be able to see the entirety of the level.

Very fun game, perfect to test your patience and reflexes.

A game who focuses on exploring a single mechanic and does it well, would recommend it to anyone who likes 2d platformers and have an hour or two to spare!
