SPEED BOX

Very good game to pass the time when you are bored.

Okay, when I started up SPEED BOX, I was NOT prepared for that sound track. Fantastic and amazing, I love it. Sadly, though, that’s about all I loved about it. I was expecting something along the lines of Audiosurf, or at least something a bit more smooth than what it was. Instead I’m left with nausea. Totally not the game for me, but oh well.

The good things: That soundtrack is just fun, it really fills the atmosphere. Its fun when you want to pass the time or go for a crazy stressful endless runner. The bad things: It's literally a Unity asset flip of Speedbox Game, and regardless could be made in said game engine in less than 2 weeks. (Not that this is a bad thing, but it makes the game feel cheap, and your character is literally a generic Unity cube object.)

It's not a bad game, a simple twitch-style tunnel trawler. Occasionally there is an issue with the controls not responding, but that seems to be less subsequent times I played. Basic but enjoyable enough, if that is your bag.

I know it's cheap but there are few problems that make this game annoying to play even for this price. 1)clunky controls - if you hold left press and upress right you move left then right and then you FREEZE instead of continuing left 2)level up has too big slow down - leveling up slows the level for few seconds and then throws you way too fast to new speed while you still need to dodge things making it likely for you to loose after leveling up 3)buggy "coin" generation - when you start the game you don't notice it but after few restarts you get fewer and fewer coins (at the start you get 1 coin every 1 or 2 obstacles but after restarting few times you can even get to less than 1 coin every 10 obstacles - which could be fine on speed 5 but not on speed 1) however it can be "fixed" by going back to main menu and starting the game again
