Slime Story Reviews

Edit: Jump mechanic has been fixed. My not full play through here showing an absolutely annoying (possibly unintended mechanic in the game time stamp breaking it down and showing it at 1:03:05: https://youtu.be/SxJJiDEal4c I like the game the music is nice and the stages for the most part are difficult but fair (For the most part) there's a good bit of gotcha moments/patience check combos as you get farther in the game, but it's not a ridiculous amount. What made me quit this game though is the fact the blob absolutely will not jump if he doesn't have the full platform underneath him. This reinforces terrible platforming mechanics in a platformer to make longer jumps you want to get as close to the edge as possible before jumping. The Slime will do a half jump to absolutely no jump if you're even a little bit hanging off the edge this is EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING especially at the part (time stamp starts here: 32:14) with the wall where you have to go up and the moving platforms are timed at the same speed so by the time your jumping to the other side the platform is already halfway from underneath slime resulting in a half jump. I wanted to beat the game, but I A. don't have the patience for that continuously B. Don't want to get used to not being as close to the edge as possible to beat this game. I also don't like when games have achievements for ridiculous amounts of deaths either that's just a personal preference though as I feel like that shouldn't be something required to 100% a game I'd rather the developer put something in game vs making that an achievement. Definitely worth the price, but the developer should really fix that jump mechanic. Another thing I thought of is when you hold the space key he consta jumps as well which isn't the biggest deal, but would be nice if one space bar press ='d 1 jump, but that again may just be a personal preference/minor complaint compared to the half jump/no jump.
