Exact-Psience Well-Known Member Jan 12, 2012 22,664 2 38 The Work-At-Home Guy Philippines #13 Exact-Psience, Nov 26, 2013 Last edited: Nov 26, 2013 Would like to tell you personally, there are Forward and Backward buttons like a regular platformer. When the intro was playing, i was simply stunned by how good it was. Then from the brief moment i have played, I already know this game is going to be enjoyed. EDIT: Add'l imps: If you liked Freedom Fall, you will love this game. I think it got the idea from Freedom Fall, but this game is entirely different. It isnt a walk in the park. It will get difficult the further you get into. Some of the challenge im not sure how to achieve yet, but im sure i'll figure it out the more i play. There are equips to unlock that affect the gameplay, and then the ice cubes you pick up ingame will let you buy higher levels of these equips (headgear, a vacuum, clothing, ride, umbrella, etc.). There is IAP for more ice cubes, but i dont see them as necessary to complete the game. Going the IAP route will make the game too easy. There's a doubler, but it is bought with ice cubes. And the price is equivalent to buying $6 worth of IAPs. I still think IAPs are not needed to finish the game, and i actually encourage it to get through the things that made the game difficult. psj3809 Moderator Jan 13, 2011 12,903 658 113 England #14 psj3809, Nov 26, 2013 Thanks for the post.

I assumed it would be around $2.99 or $3.99. It's a no-brainer at that price. Edit: here's a quote from the article which explains why i'm not worried about the IAPs: Bronxsta Well-Known Member Oct 10, 2012 4,698 6 38 http://indiegameenthusiast.blogspot.com/ #16 Bronxsta, Nov 26, 2013 @EP - Description says 80 missions. Does that mean 80 different levels or like 80 in-game challenge "missions"? And is each level unique or are they divided into themed worlds/zones? Exact-Psience Well-Known Member Jan 12, 2012 22,664 2 38 The Work-At-Home Guy Philippines #17 Exact-Psience, Nov 26, 2013 Last edited: Nov 26, 2013 I see 20 stages, with 4 missions each. The first mission for each stage is completing the stage. The rest of the missions vary between each stage. Each level is unique from what i've seen. Very good variety in visual styles and in level design in each one that i've seen. Im 8 levels in. awp69 Well-Known Member Oct 30, 2009 8,249 0 36 Greenville, SC #18 awp69, Nov 26, 2013 With EP's impressions and that Eurogamer article, this is probably my most anticipated release of the night. oooooomonkey Well-Known Member Jan 15, 2011 6,307 0 0 Forge World #19 oooooomonkey, Nov 26, 2013 Off topic but why is there loads of games coming out tonight? It's usually tomorrow night isnt it. Exact-Psience Well-Known Member Jan 12, 2012 22,664 2 38 The Work-At-Home Guy Philippines #20 Exact-Psience, Nov 26, 2013 Yeah when i saw the releases earlier today, for a second i thought it was a wednesday shift at work for me.
