Below Kryll Reviews

This game is my Childhood I Enjoyed making Levels and Exploring everything. From Pieced of Art to wacky lore it has Everything. When someone asks what is a Good Community SandBox type of game I will say this. Thanks To Everyone for this great time.

This is really great, yet it has it flaws. The community is creating the world which we are playing in. Players have to decide if they give the creator a reward or not while earning currency and experience by completing their levels which allows them to create parts of the world in their own (if they want to) in order to participate in the creation of an already huge metroid-like world. Each level has a guestbook in which you can talk about what ever you like, with other players and or the creator. Mario Maker on a different (better) level, if you want to say so. It is a jump 'n run - puzzle game with RPG influences. The controls are okay but not great. Some kind of stiffness in the controls, hard to explain. But it is still enjoyable and fun. Also, it is not optimized for controllers. My X-Input controller worked by default and the out-of-box configuration works quite good but the menus are not even the slightest made for controllers. You have to move the mouse cursor with the right control stick which can be very, very fiddly, you can't skip the intro scene due to the missing ESC button and a few other minor but annoying issues. You can play it with the controller but you don't want to be too far away from your mouse and keyboard.

Below Kryll is AMAZING. I've always loved games where the player gets creative freedom, and this one doesn't disappoint. Whether you like platforming, puzzles, story, music, art, it's all there! I do recommend you have some good platforming experience either way, and if you don't this game will teach it to you so no worries! Not only has playing been fun, but creating adventures for others to play has also been a blast. But one of the greatest things of all is the the Below Kryll community is one of the best game communities I have EVER been a part of. I highly recommend this game!

Fun, simple interface is great for introducing younger kids to programming logic, music, and the fundamentals of 2-D level deign. My nephew, 7yrs old, really REALLY wants to get into being a 'gamemaker'. He had downloaded a few ad-laden shovelware Android apps that were just awful. Ad break after every ingle screen change... I suggested minecraft, which he likes to play, but said it was too hard to create in...I've never really tried Minecraft, so I couldn't call him for bs....Tried to get him into LBP3 on PS4, but my psPlus expired, no more access... Then I remembered I bought this a few years back. It scratched that itch for him perfectly, and motivated me to actually play the game to unlock more tools for him to use in creation mode. Really an under-discovered gem.

I love this game, the puzzles and creativity made by everyone is great fun. Sometimes you end up in a musical land, other times it's a frustrating a puzzle. Each thing is different. It has action, exploration, and the ability to make your own levels. The designer is great and lets you come up with lots of creative ideas and concepts. I hope they will develop an item that can teleport a user from one location on a map to another, but they keep developing new things so it's certainly getting better and better!

This is a very unique game on steam. Its a platformer that revolves around playing through levels made by other users and then making your own levels for other users to play with. However, the game suffers from too many issues for me to recommend it. Below is a list of the most glaring issues this game suffers from: - Rough/unoptimised performance: When a 2D game has the performance of crysis there is something definetely wrong - lack of support for non-american keyboards: Depending on where you come from this could be quite a serious problem or a small inconvenience. Do not buy this game if you are french. - lack of support for keyboard rebinding: Back in early access they promised to implement keyboard rebinding before coming out of early access. They failed to uphold their promise. - very limited selection of NPCs for dialogs: Only 5? seriously? - Feels like "the messenger" in pre-pre-alpha - Poor moderation of usermade levels - unintuitive system for special moves such as jump-dashing Edit: replaced mark of the ninja reference with "the messenger" since it presents a better example of what I'm trying to say.

Below Kryll is an amazing game. It plays very much like Super House of Dead Ninjas, but what makes it truly unique is what lies beyond the first few tutorial levels : a whole world made by the players themselves ! Featuring a very easy-to-use and friendly level editor, Below Kryll allows you to go crazy and make any kind of level you want. A complicated adventure with a twisted plot, spanning across several levels ? Yep. A torture chamber filled with deadly traps ? Why not ! A pixel art gallery that you visit on a moving platform as player-made music plays ? Definitely ! The game feels rewarding both as a player and as a creator, as several good ideas were used. As you complete levels and gather the shurikens scattered around them, your character will level up and unlock new moves (sword attacks, flying tricks...) and you will be granted access to deeper levels. When you create a level, people can play through it, apply tags to it from a list, and leave a comment. And you, the creator, get trophy points that you can spend to buy new things to use in your levels. All in all, it's a very addicting and creative game that you can explore in various ways depending on your mood. Greatly recommended ! :)

I've only got a bit of time in this game so far, but I can already tell it's going to be perfect for me. Why? Because it perfectly appeals to the ADHD gamer in me. It's got a very slick engine with tight controls that feel just perfect with a keyboard or gamepad, but what's really astounding is the content. Oh my god. So much content. From the developers and users. I mean levels based on music, pixel art museums, stories, quests, you name it, it's in here, and it's FUN. You can rate levels once you're done with them, and even make your own. Your ninja gains levels and skills while exploring all these adventures as well, so it's a perfect carrot and stick combination. I'll be playing this game for a very long time to come, and you should totally check it out if you like platformers, creation tools or just fun gameplay. Oh also, you can try a browser version for free to get a feel for it: https://game.belowkryll.com/

This is, from what I've played of it so far, a cute and infinitely extensible user driven platformer. However, I hate Episode IV of the story missions so much I may never actually play it again. It combines my least favourite things in a mission (stealth, instant failure, no waypoints) in a form that has me swearing at pixellated ninjas. THe rest of the game is wonderful, but I hate that mission so so so so much.

Below Kryll has been a very pleasant surprise for me. This is one of those games that sneaks up on you right at the moment when you realize just how big the gameworld and possibilities really are. From a graphics standpoint, the game has a very retro-feel. The graphics aren't flashy, but they certainly do the job, creating a pixelated world to get lost in. The soundtrack is average, but I don't play these kinds of games for the soundtrack anyway, so that's not really a negative for me, though it is definitely relevant to a review like this. The control scheme is better than average, advertising partial controller support, which is accurate. The control settings offer both standard and emulator keyboard settings with an ability to remap controls and built-in gamepad support for forward motion, jumping, dashing, wall-jumping, and other combat moves as these are unlocked with game advancement. Players will likely need to use their keyboard for menus, inventory, character stats, and maps. Where Below Kryll really excels is in the content department. Between the regular developer-made levels, side quests, collectibles, and achievements, sandbox mode, and the player-developed worlds, there's a whole lot of content to both see and create here. Gameplay is not complicated, but it is challenging, and it's certainly not boring. Just when you think you've got everything figured out, new levels, items, quests, and abilities unlock opening up new adventures and possibilities. There are some cerebral components to the game, too, especially with timing, agility, and the creativity component. Problem-solvers and experienced gamers are very likely to find a challenge here in the form of collectibles, items, abilities, and additional content, while casual gamers can very easily enjoy the game even without experiencing everything the game has to offer. Regardless of what type of gamer you are, if you enjoy platforrmers, puzzle-platformers, RPGs, Ninja combat styles, collectibles, achievements, and player-developed content, such as that created in the Steam Workshop, I'd recommend giving Below Kryll a try.
