Nubs' Adventure

This game was frustrating at times, but ultimately a lot of fun. I would not call this a Metroidvania. There are no weapon upgrades, double jump or other upgrades. It is straight exploration, find the keys and gems type of game. There is a lot of backtracking to open doors once you find the key or symbol needed. It is slower paced, with some action but most of the enemies don't pose much of a threat. It saves your progress at the numerous checkpoints and every time you switch areas. There are a few sequences that could have used an extra checkpoint but overall there were enough. There are also a couple of places where you go through a long sequence of moving things around, opening doors, etc. then something pops up and kills you and you have to repeat it. There are 3 or 4 boss fights. One of them was too random and luck-based, too easy to unavoidably get hit and quite frustrating (unless there is a trick to it I didn't notice), but the others were fine and moderately challenging....

One of the most beautiful platformers ever. + Great platforming. + Challening, yet fair. + Extremely beautiful soundtrack. + Amazing level design. It's kind of a small open world there you unlock more and more of it in time. + Great challenge sections you unlovk with keys. + Great boss battles. + Great physics. + Great storyline. - Pretty short, 3-4 hours (100% completion). I really wish game was much longer. - Background is really blurry, not sure if intended, but I'd prefer higher resolution. 9/10

This game is actually good!Not many people play this game but I think this is a fun and playable little game.

It's really cute and challenging I love it

I have played hundreds ( literally ) of indie platformers. This one is a stinker. OH PEW However, as with anything else, this is a matter of opinion...

A quirky little platformer with enough challenge, humor, and colorful environments to make it worth checking out.

This is a really charming game. It has a very present sense of identity. Contols are generally pretty good, graphics are vibrant and stylish, the music is very relaxing and well-done. The story is a nice change of pace from the hack'n'slash or shoot-everything-that-moves tropes, and goes a long way to set a serene atmosphere. I've noticed some use the term metroidvania to descsribe this title... I'm not sure I agree with that. It does have pregression to new areas by backtracking through older areas but the progression is through found keys and flipped switches rather than new abilities/mechanics not previously avaiable. Maybe nit-picky on my part, and I don't mean it as a mark against the game. The exploration is rather fun and the levels are interestingly designed. The primary means of progression is through finding and collecting crystals, and it may take several re-visits to a given area to find them all... some areas have hidden entrances from later parts of the game and o...

Less of a metroidvania & more of a platformer. Nub's Adventure, was a pretty fun experience. While it was mostly a laid back, casual platformer, there were a couple moments that were frustratingly challenging. This is definitely worth a look. $7.00 might be a bit steep though.

I like it although some parts where frustrating to me because I hate platforming.
