NEONomicon

This is the type of game you will either enjoy for the challenge or hate for how unforgiving it is. You can find 35 minutes of gameplay with commentary here: [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QfCFxBTZjU] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QfCFxBTZjU [/url] NEONomicon is a puzzle platformer where the word "minimalistic" is a fair descriptor. Before begining ask yourself: Am I fine with dying over and over, then over some more? Do I enjoy games with no exposition, so I need to figure it out all myself? Is the need to remember the layout of a level just to get through it something I can handle? If the answer is NO to those questions, this game is NOT for you. There isn't much to say about this game, as it is a simple premise. You start in the dungeon in a random location (the 1st room is always the same) and the goal is to find where the exit is. The dungeon is a 5x5 grid of levels, with each level having 4 entry/exit points. You need to work your way through the dungeon, checki...

Difficult but interesting game. You're running for a glowing square and trying to get out of the maze. Music is horrible, but you can turn it off. I bought at a discount. I recommend to everyone.

NEONomicon is simple yet impressive. This game is not the type of game for people who rage easily. As the player, you are able to do three things: move, jump, and create flares. Whether you're playing on a keyboard or controller, the game teaches you these three mechanics when you first enter and it's up to you to use them to get through each map. There are six colored maps that you'll encounter, each with their own "theme" (enemy heavy, canon heavy, jump heavy, etc.). Every new map you enter is not lit, even if you're entering a map that you've already encountered. You light the maps up by using flares, dying by spikes, or dying by saw blades. You collect little squares in specific locations on the map in order to generate more energy to use a flare. Each square gives you 50 energy, but the more flares you use, the more energy you'll need to generate a new flare. When you die on a spike, your whole body stays there and lights that specific spot. When you die by a saw blade, your body ...

If you have photosensitive epilepsy or history of seizure, please don't buy this one[/b] Review: +It's a dark, tiny size & minimal game with a sweet character! -there is no save system, you have to complete the game in one session which may take several hours! -Achievement is counted in one game session so if you restart the game this counter will be reset. *In "minimum system requirements" said that you need "GeForce 5+" but it ran on my pc with "GeForce GT 220" perfectly!

Good idea, bad execution. The game looks nice, has a good presentation and it's ultra-cheap, but the gameplay is disappointing (and quite glitchy). It feels like SuperMeatBoy, but without any of the features that make it fun. The game intentionally leaves you in the dark (pun intended), all the way. You are in a "maze" with 25 rooms, spread on a 5x5 grid and one of the rooms is the exit. The game never tells you any of that. My main complaint is that the game claims to be a minimalistic puzzle game, but it confuses minimalism with an absolute lack of information and the most puzzling element is figuring out what you need to do. I only finished it by sheer spite and it still pushed my stubbornness to previously unknown limits. In NEOnomicon the devs tried to do something different. Usually, I don't like to punish developers who avoid the comfort zone of established formulas, but sadly this time, the result simply didn't pay off.

if you;re boring... and just want to chill/relax 1 hour.. maybe its a good choise.. +cards +achievs

Although it looks really good, NEONomicon gets boring quite rapidly. After traversing though a couple of rooms I still had no idea what to do and to what purpose. Apparently I just have to find the exit of the maze...?!? The game quite honestly adversizes itself as minimalistic, so yeah I shouldn't complain about that. Because there is not even a save system, you have to complete the maze in a single sitting, which apparently can take several hours. Sorry, but no thanks, cuz ain't nobody got time for that, right?

NEONomicon is yet another of literally thousands of 2D retro pixel platformers infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere. This is a very poorly made platformer slapped together by filling out templates in the Unity Corgi Engine/platformer construction kit, so there's not a lot of real game development that took place here. As a platformer, it's got that schtick/gimmick where you can only see a small area around you and some illuminated spots on the map, so it's punishingly difficult and just results in a lot of trial and error to get to the exit for each level... something gamers never really bothered with, because it's not fun. More on the player counts for this game later, let's first just address why this is a terrible game in terms of the technical implementation. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. There's no options to change the resolution for the game o...
