StarFlint the BlackHole Prophecy Reviews

Many negative reviews because a point-and-click was kickstarted and expected, but a puzzle platformer was delivered instead. However, the last 1/3 of the game IS point-and-click, but it's a long haul of tough platforming to get to it. The game was buggy on first-day release, but a series of patches is quickly alleviating this problem. The team is active and dutifully quashing bugs. If you want a tricky, at times infuriating puzzle platformer, with a reward of a long level of point-and-click, this is worth a playthrough. If it's successful enough, perhaps the developer will get the money needed to make the point-and-click part 2 they are dreaming of. The characters and setting are fun (and funny) enough to deserve a sequel, and the dev is active and polite (I had to translate into French to talk with them, and they were very patient with me) enough to deserve to make the game they wanted.

So I was a BIG Kickstarter backer and I had high hopes for this game, but WOW. This is VERY bad. The translation is terrible, the voice acting in some areas is deplorable, and there are sections without ANY explanation of what to do! Endless mazes, searching for no good reason at all, at areas that were simply thrown together at the last minute without any voicework at all. What was supposed to be a simple point-and-click has turned into an absolute disaster AND I found out that my Kickstarter perk wasn't even added to the game. Very much hating this game.
