Cornflower Corbin

I was fortunte enough to meet the creators of the game at the Grand Rapids Maker Faire. They were very nice and super helpful when my five year old wanted to try it. I am happy to support some local devs.

Even at its modest price, I cannot recommend this game which feels like someone tweaked a basic 'Unity' tutorial. In fact, it feels exactly like a hastily made flash game from back in the day; lazy graphics, no "feel" to the game as such (it is hard to tell when you have been hit unless you check your status bar), very rudimentary audio design, and the most basic side-scrolling gameplay. The "growth" aspect of the game adds a little bit of depth, but it also helps accentuate how slipshod the rest of "Corbin" feels. I am sure the developer was leaning heavily on being "charming" here, but whatever charm the game has can be gleaned from its screenshots (and perhaps the wordy tutorial). I appreciate what the developer was going for, but a few fish-puns don't make up for action that gets old after a few minutes. The only thing that saved this game from an instant refund was my four-year-old who found some enjoyment in it, but even she lost interest fairly quickly. This game is certain...
