Mr. Bree+ Reviews

Mr.Bree starts out feeling pretty good with nice colourful graphics and ok controls, but when you get further in the game you start so see flaws that are unacceptable in this type of a game. Firs thing you will notice is that traps and projectiles blend into the backgrounds way too easily and when the screen scrolls things tend to get blurry and hard to see. The controls while ok for non hardcore games, but for this i find them not responsive enough. Wall jumping mechanics also are not to my liking. The game crashes constantly under Win 8.1, so i played it on my laptop on Win 7 and it seems to work ok on that. Level design is ok, but there is nothing here you would not have seen in Super Meatboy already. For the price it currently is on it is good value, but left a sour taste in my mouth so i can not recommend this game.

Hey everyone and this is my review about the game! This is a Hardcore platform game. [h1]Interface/Menu/Settings[/h1] You can only toggle the music volume. There is no slidebar. You can only toggle the sound volume. There is no slidebar. You can play in fullscreen or windowed mode. There is no resolution size available. You can play with a xbox controller. (Recommended) [h1]About the game.[/h1] You are a SUPER PIG! You have to beat each level in order to rescue your family. You have forgotten everything and you don't even have any skills. You will unlock skills overtime and you are able to need them. Some collectables can only be obtained with that skill. There are alot of traps and background in the game. Traps are sometimes difficult to see with the huge ammount of background scenery. There are checkpoints in each level. Story is interesting. Music is good. But could be too loud. There is level selection and a red puzzle indicator. Some traps are difficult to see because of the background. There are over 50 levels. There are checkpoints in the levels. Alot of trial and error. Gameplay is good. There is a collectable in each level, picking these will unlock bonus levels. [h1]Other things.[/h1] Music is abit too loud. ------------------- I Give this game a 8/10

It's hard for me to come up with anything cooler than a badass pig that takes on wild boar taskmasters and dodges sawblades, spikes and a whole other assortment of hazards in a search for his family. I fell in love with this game right after watching the trailer and bought it minutes after. Also because of this game for the first time in a very long time I played a game all through the night and then right when I got up in the morning until I'd beaten it. I'm ordinarily not even a platformer fan, but this game's concept was amazing. If there were any drawbacks in this game, the only one would be that there could have been more story, but it wasn't badly lacking.

This is basically Take a good concept and drag it on way too far: The game. - There are very few different hazards, far too few to keep 60 levels varied - Several hazards rely more on the player not seeing them than actually being dangerous, making for some quite cheap deaths - The story is pretty unique, but like the levels, it's stretched way too long - Several parts of the story are easy to run past, and they don't respawn if you run back On the other hand, the graphics are beautiful. And the soundtrack is absolutely stunning, I can't praise it enough. Instead of buying this game, I recommend buying [url=https://mattschiffertawstudioentertainment.bandcamp.com/album/mr-bree-original-soundtrack]the soundtrack[/url], then playing [url=http://www.kongregate.com/games/tawstudio/mr-bree-returning-home]the free Mr. Bree - Returning Home[/url].

I don't really understand a lot of the complaints with this game recently. I haven't had any lag at all, nor does the controls feel bad. As someone who played the original flash version, this game is a pretty good expansion and remake of it. Only thing that is kinda sad is knowing that the story ends on a cliffhanger, due to one of the team members passing away, but at least they were able to get this game out before that happened.

Mr. Bree plus deceived me with it's cute art style into believing it might be a fun little platforming adventure. It actually tries to be somewhere between Super Meatboy and an unfair platformer. For me it is rather an unfair (albeit beatable) one because of bad controls and communication. The game forces controller users to use the analog stick for movenment controls where a directional pad would feel more appropriate. Traps are hard to see and often require sheer luck. New mechanics are introduced in a conterintuitive manner - the wall jump for example is aquired in in a tight space with no way to try out immediatly. My "favourite" aspect of the game is a red tint that appears when you start to many times on a level. It makes it even harder to see traps dangers and, well, anything.

You are a pig named Mr. Bree. You've been through something terrible that you don't quite remember and all you want to do is get home to see your family. Thus, you begin your platforming adventure through the forest. First, the good: The art style is very nice and the music is pretty good as well. Checkpoints are provided for most levels, so you can pass even the harder levels without too much difficulty. These can be turned off when you unlock hardcore mode. There are collectibles to find that unlock extra levels and the rest of the story. The level design is nice for the most part. The bad: The game is riddled with bugs. The game crashes and freezes randomly, has poor controller support, and environments that blend together and make it hard to distinguish foreground and background. Wall jumping feels janky and the controls in general do not feel tight enough to be in a 'hardcore-style' platformer. There's also a mechanic where the time of day changes each time you die in a level. Some of the lighting schemes for certain times of day render traps and pitfalls nearly invisible, making levels that you are already having trouble with even harder simply because you can't see anything. For $2.99, I didn't expect a lot from the game. It feels like there is a decent platformer hiding somewhere beneath the bugs and issues and I think I could recommend it if some things got fixed. As it is, I'd rather just play Super Meat Boy.

For those wondering, the majority of my listed playtime was spent idling for cards. I've actually beaten the original Flash incarnation of this game before, so this is less a review and more of a comparison/series of general thoughts. Mr. Bree was, and still is, an enjoyable cartoon platformer. Through a series of 60 levels, you'll control the titular pig as he runs and jumps through a series of increasingly-difficult locations, ranging from simple forests to abattoirs and everything in-between. I never got the sense that this was as difficult as any of the Meat Boy games, as there seemed to be a lot of leeway in difficulty - I never felt it was impossible to complete a stage, and the levels feel like they were designed to reward people who practiced the wall-jumping/double-jumping and wanted to speedrun them. Much like Meat Boy, though, the story is near-irrelevant fluff meant to tie certain worlds together. The whole pretext of the story is a pig waking up with amnesia after escaping from a slaver, and he has forgotten most of his basic skills. I felt that this concept (of having to learn your abilities) could have been taken a lot further. While there are opportunities to go back to earlier levels and get items with unlocked abilities, the levels themselves never really play up the fact that you're limited in mobility for a certain stretch of time. Contrast that to something like Don't Move, which rewards you based on trying and/or failing to increase your mobility or set of abilities. Once you unlock double-jumping, most of the levels become a breeze and there's no real threat to any of the obstacles. Still, I found it to be an enjoyable romp, and for the price point (usually around $3, but less during sales), you could do a whole lot worse.

Reminiscent of Super Meat Boy in its ambience and brutal traps, this little platformer proves itself worthy of those who enjoy a short but fun challenge. This, coupled with an astonishing soundtrack, make this game a must for the genre-lovers considering its current price. The only downside is the current lack of workshop content; it would be nice to see user-created levels in the near future to lengthen even more the game experience. Note that at the time of writing this review, I've roughly completed about 1/3 of the game. In no way does my playtime reflect the actual duration of this game. Considering the levels get more and more complicated (NOTE: The difficulty curve in this game is pretty good), I assume it will last between 2:30 and 3:30 hours. EDIT: I am about to finish this game, only about 10 levels left including a couple special levels, and still lots of achievements to earn. I'd say my estimation of a little more than 2:30h was kind of accurate. The difficulty in the final levels is still a bit challenging, though I find that I may struggle with a level but then complete the next one in just one go. However, the game is still as fresh as when I bought it, and I am enjoying every second of frustration and satisfaction of it.

This game starts out alot like other games in the genre, learn to walk, jump and run to name a few. The levels become ever more devious as you progress but are never hard for the wrong reasons. One cool mechanic is the scenery/mood change after you die alot. And you will be dying alot. One tip, look carefully ahead of you for any traps that might not be easily apparent. The music is very good and sets the mood nicely for each set of levels. The scenery and backgrounds for each level are beautifully done and are pleasant on the eyes. The hero moves at a slow pace to begin with but before long you are running for your life from traps and ducking and dodging with the best of em. In each level a collectible can be found and in alot of cases, a new power is needed so collecting it must be done later. All in all the game offers value at and above the current price. It has its charm and challenges and will have you cursing every god you can name at times but as always, overcoming the challenges is its own reward. For what the game is and offers, it executes perfectly in every aspect and any platformer fan out there should rise to the challenge.
