Glo Phlox

Let me preface this a bit as I've never really written reviews before, so bear with me as I'm probably going to stumble through my explanations. I had the pleasure of playing a demo version of Glö Phlox at EGLX 2018, and given the experience I had there, I can confidently say the full release was worth the wait. Gameplay: True to its claim, Glö Phlox is indeed a twin-stick, bullet hell metroidvania. It is a fairly expansive yet simplistic world with tight controls that, in its own words, are "easy to learn and hard to master". When you aren't traversing the overworld through Cordette's Bloom Rush - which is your invuln-dash for the game - you're probably going to be fighting the myriad of enemies. Most of the game revolves around your dash and your crossbow, though it is important to note you cannot move and shoot at the same time.

Played the game for an hour, loved the art style and game play, definitely recommend using a controller both ps4 and xbox controllers work smoothly with this game. It does get challenging at times but is definitely worth playing. for an indie game it is extremely well done!

This game runs quite smoothly, the character handling is great and a lot of fun. The artwork for the character is so vibrant and the colour choices for the game are really nice. I've only played a short while into the game but its fun and i'm currently trying to defeat the first boss which is difficult but not too much as to force a rage quit. I think the game would be best played on a controller because the controls are a bit uncertain for a mouse and keyboard. Oh and the abilities are really fun to use!!

played for an hour straight, felt like 10 mins. Challenging yet fun nice mix of both

The game is good at first and even addictive, but after the first boss in the cave comes out a dialog box with a bat and when you try to talk to the npc game freezes and you have to re-enter but it still does not help, so the passage of the game on becomes impossible. Please fix it or just help with the solution of this problem.

Pretty good twin-stick metroidvania. There were a few bugs but nothing to keep me from finishing it.

This is an amazing indie twin stick shooter with a dark-souls esque story filled with mystery and intrigue. I hope we get a sequel where we see more of Cordette and Angelo.
