Overloop

Had gone into this game not expecting much at all, but had a hard time stopping game play. My game play time is a bit inflated as I had to leave my computer a few times for some IRL things, so I would clock this is at about 5~ hours for completion. This is a puzzle platformer. Not a hard one, though there are a few challenges where you need to have slightly quicker reflexes or maybe 1 or 2 attempts to figure out what you were meant to do. It's very forgiving in terms of attempts and lives. But that is part of the story it asks you to contemplate. You can go back to any any level and collect any hidden gems you missed, but if you are thorough I don't believe you will miss any. Music and sounds were nice and appropriate for the game play. The pixel art was fitting and worked well together in the different areas. I liked that you would go behind certain background elements in the over world. Story. I don't want to get into too heavily to avoid spoilers. But it't regarding clones, ethics, and humans rights. The former is not done in a very heavy way but it is brought up throughout the game. There is also a religion surrounding corn. Game play itself was solid. Controls were wasd, e, space, jl. As noted above, mostly more casual with some puzzles requiring a bit more precision or speed. These are later in the game. I encountered one bug midway in the game where my characters were dead but wouldn't leave ghost mode so I couldn't continue. I had to completely close the game. I am not sure what caused that and it never happened again.

Short but really fun puzzle platformer.
