Fly'N Reviews

How do I say this... It's a great game, but it's hard. Too hard for my taste, so I don't like playing it. There sure are more than enough players out there to laugh at this, but yeah, I'm too much of a scrub for this. With this out of the way, let's see what's good. Controls are tight. Keyboard & Mouse was weird imo, and the precision doesn't help there. On gamepad it's really good to play. It could be more forgiving in it's design, but there comes the caveat again, it is a hard game and the levels are meant to be replayed. The main gameplay loop is to collect little seeds and awake various trapped inhabitants of alien planets (usually by singing or giving shelter from red glowy things). The rest is just running and jumping to survive. Sometimes against an apocalypse of growing red stuff, but usually you can take your time (although a faster clear does give higher scores). It seems chill, but it needs skillful play. Artstyle and music are unique and beautiful, I enjoyed it a lot. You can see it in the trailer already. Overall a well done, very charming & unique game.

So, I've had this game since about 2017 and stopped on the first world finding it difficult. Only now I really started to continue with it not too long ago since I was reminded of underrated games and what do you know, Fly'n pops into my head again and I couldn't be more happy, right about now when I'm writing this review I'm currently on the 4th world and honestly this game is great in my opinion. From the characters and it's cutscenes (me finding Dyer the most enjoyable and his whole story, i love this guy.) And the atmosphere, the music and of course the four buds you control, once you get a hang of all of them it can be kind of fun in certain parts and is especially rewarding as well. Now I'm probably likely one of the few or only person in this games "fandom" but if a sequel is ever made for this game (likely not ever) i'd be so happy to see this worlds universe and it's characters be more explored, like for example a film or even a tv show. (Dyer hit world's also good-)

[b]Fly'n[/b] is a beautiful game and in this context beautiful is referring to the visuals of the game. No matter how you look at the game and even if you don't like platformers you have to admit that the complete game is looking fantastic. The story is told fast: A hairdryer called Dyer is attacking the world trees in order to rob their energy the "Helys". To prevent this, the world trees have created the buds to stop Dyer polluting the trees even more. [b]Fly'n[/b] is a platformer. You are trying to reach the top of the different trees and fight the specific world boss there. Every world consist of 7 levels plus one boss level and three bonus level (exception is the last world with only one bonus level) so there is a lot to do and the game is gradually getting harder. You have four different buds and every bud has its own special ability. Fly'n can sing and activate the Helys and revive the inhibitants of Helica, Lyft can stick to any (unpolluted) surface and crawl on them, Ywok can transform to a ball and bounce around and Nyls can propel himself (up to three times). And all Buds can jump, double-jump and glide. You can not change the buds freely everywhere, only in the specific checkpoints which is a good thing because you don't have to think too much with whom you have to solve a specific part of the level. Additional to all the abilites the buds can also change between two visions which may make different parts of the level solid and/or accessible. As for the difficulty: If you only try to reach the exit it should only need patience since you may die as often as you "wish" and you will restart from the last checkpoint. But you should notice that the game has been tagged as "hard" so keep that in mind. It may look cute but you need to know what you are doing. For those looking for a higher challenge there are different options: You may try to "complete" the levels which means you explore more and collect all the Helys and pollen which are hidden. If you are still not satisfied you can try to play the levels without dying. And for the motivated there are the Leaderboards where you can compare your points to the rest of the playership. All in all I think I can't recommand this game enough. I bought the game on release day and never regretted it. I put more than 100 hours into this game which says a lot. The buds are lovable and each world has a different beautiful design. If you like platformers you have little to no reason to not buy and play [b]Fly'n[/b]. All this is rounded up with a beautiful soundtrack which you can and should buy aswell.

This is what most indie games dream of looking like. Fast-paced, really strong platforming with puzzle elements, and just a huge amount of personality, which makes a big difference.

Here is another game I grabbed for $2.48 during the Steam summer sale. You won't find many cartoonish platformers prettier than this one. The graphics, gameplay and mechanics all were smooth and gorgeous. I thoroughly enjoyed the 8 hours of this campaign. Although the final boss was a bit drawn-out and tedious. This game was one of the first to come out of Greenlight. I can see why Steam showcased it.

I love FLY'N it's a very cute game, the sound affects are adorable and the art is so beautifully done. But be WARNED this game is very challenging and difficult as you progress further through it. I got about Quarter way through and had to give up, just got to difficult for me. But if you do like a challenging beautiful and cute platformer game, then i do recommend picking up this game, even though it was difficult for me, i have absolutely no regrets having it in my library. Believe me it's a very cute and colourful game, besides being difficult of course. And at 75% of it's a very good deal. :D

Finished! Had fun with it, this game is more like Super Meat Boy. To be a great platformer it only needed soundtrack like SMB. Would be good idea to blast your own music on your first playthrough. Thank you Devs!

Fly'n is a puzzle platformer that delivers a delightful amount of platform and puzzle gameplay, on top of a richly designed world. In Fly'n, players control small, cute looking creatures called Buds. There are four different kinds, which all have the same ability to double jump, glide, and switch states of the level. Each Bud has a unique ability that is used to solve certain puzzles in the game. The levels range from run and jump platforming to solving puzzles using a certain character. While things may seem easy at first, the levels get harder to be actually quite challenging. The puzzles grow to involve using more characters together in one level and more challenging level layouts. The normal levels have no timer, except for certain levels that are more linear in nature and involve outrunning a rising sea of junk. These speedrun kind of levels are the harder levels in the game, due to the strict time limits and higher bar for platforming skill. A boss battle occurs at the end of each world, complete with more puzzle platforming to navigate through and win. The levels are all fun to play through and try to solve, with levels tending to take around 5-10 minutes or maybe more depending on the pace of play. Controling the characters feels natural and responsive at times. Sometimes, moving the Buds around feels not as refined as they might sometimes move too fast when not needed to be or don't jump as high enough. Still, the controls are solid and work well with only a few quirks that may pop up when playing the game. The art style of Fly'n is very, very well drawn. The characters have a simplistic design with solid colors and simple shapes. On the other hand, the worlds are highly detailed with lots of color and intricate designs on the surfaces of each level. The world styles range from natural inspired designs with foilage, to more abstract designs and mechanical parts. Changing the state of the level turns the world to silhouettes or a more tinted color. The animation is also really well done both ingame and in the cutscenes. The characters themselves are simple in design, but are animated so smoothly that it feels natural. The cutscenes are also of high visual quality, owing in part that both the ingame and cutscene character data are both from the same source material. With high details with great animation and drawing style, the art style is very pleasing to look at and play with. The music in Fly'n adds a nice backdrop to the graphical design. The songs tend to be relaxed in nature or more frantic depending on what level is going on. There is a fair variety of tracks present in the game, ranging from light, instrumental pieces to faster paced rock or electronic styles. The music does its job in adding to the style of the game, and they do sound great to listen to as well. Fly'n does have a story, albiet a weird one. Basically, a hair dryer collects garbage and dumps them everywhere. The hair dryer dumps it on the worlds where the Buds are. It's up to the Buds to stop the hair dryer from dumping more garbage on their worlds. Anyway, the cutscenes themselves tend to be silly in nature and a little bit weird in terms of storytelling. The story isn't amazing, but tends to silly and help drive the game. Fly'n gives a full 10 hour game with fun and challenging puzzle platforming, set in a world that looks and feels great with the art and animation quality. This game is definitely a joy to play and does provide some great puzzles, all wrapped up in very well done style for the game's setting.

Flyn is an absolutely gorgeous 2d platformer that includes some elements of exploration as well as slight hints of puzzling. You can get further abilities the more you progress in the game, which varies your gameplay experience, while you can also revisit older levels for 100% completion. The music enhances the relaxed atmosphere of the game and its art style should be envied by accomplished titles. The reason I do not recommend it for the average player is that I have found the difficulty level growing significantly, relatively early in the game, with no option whatsoever to adjust it for a smoother experience. This is a great shame for not so skilled players, who can miss the majority of the beautiful worlds portrayed in Flyn, and turn their experience frustrating instead of relaxing. Would definitely recommend it though, if your platforming skills are above average, or you like a hard challenge. Take my review as a warning, with a grain of salt.

Neat and cozy platformer with touching story, pleasant graphic design and amazingly beautiful music. Unfortunately this game shows the best of it closer to the end, but most players drop the game in the first half. The same thing kinda happened in my case, luckily I revisited the game after many years and finished it. Let me say I was not disappointed. 9/10
