My Own Little Planet

Words cannot describe how much I wanted to like My Own Little Planet. The art is fantastic, the character designs are great, and the soundtrack is top-notch. Taken together, the game succeeds in producing the creepy, yet aesthetically appealing atmosphere it seeks to create. However, what matters most in a video game is the gameplay, and that's where My Own Little Planet suffers. Greatly. Creating an action platformer sans attack button is not necessarily a deal-breaker, but when your defenseless character's only means of survival is to run and jump a foot off of the ground, the fun factor diminishes by several orders of magnitude. This is compounded by a complete lack of power-ups and usable items. The game's most significant shortcoming, however, is the level design. Unlike most platformers, My Own Little Planet places the player in numerous situations that he/she cannot possibly react to in time. Put another way, the game relies on repeated attempts to complete most levels. This e...

Good ideas/inspirations, not so great execution. 4/10 considering the cheap pricetag The game is a very basic platformer with the same aesthetic as Don't Starve (so much so that the main menu looks like a carbon copy). Your character lacks the ability to actually kill anything so the killing of enemy comes from luring them into the traps that would normally kill you. The principle is good but the actual gameplay not so much. There is a lack of an ability to peek around the edges so a lot of times you are stuck just jumping into an area you cannot see at all and dying on a trap. Most of the difficulty in this game seems to stem from this die until you have seen the entire stage aspect + the extremely jenky hitboxes. Traps that have already activated can still kill you before disappearing, the first major boss will kill you even if it is clearly not hitting you on the screen, enemies that kill you on touch will hit you when you are visibly out of range. Basically Flappy Bird in term...

I'm still playing this game and for now the game it's really fun, the controls aren't very dificult and the game is very challenging, at least the first Act, I still have others to play. If you'd like to also check my gameplay! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UCifUZjVfs&t=25s Have fun! =D

Pretty nice game, it was very well made

A fun game about trying to outwit puzzles and avoid monsters. The art style and soundtrack are amazing, and make you feel like you are in a Tim Burton movie. The controls are easy and respond quickly. This is good because of one thing: The re spawn or checkpoint system in this game is BRUTAL!! Check it out for a platformer that adds some new things each level. https://youtu.be/6YwWQHbIWfo

The game rely's on "got you" mechanics. There is no skill to have in the game. Just fall for it once then you know how to react. There is no point wasting your time on this I assure you. The aesthetic is nice and the soundtrack is sub-par but is it worth 6 bucks? No. Simply put absolutely not.

Oh dad so dark!

No matter how stupid it may sound, the game itself is not enough in this game. A simple platformer by idea very often turns into a script moments where the player needs speed and reaction and this has a bad effect on the gaming experience and pleasure from the game. The game itself looks unfinished, boring, so my opinion is negative. But in the game I liked the graphic style inspired by "Don't Starve" and still a good atmosphere of the game. I also liked the great soundtrack for the game. But that's all.
