It's also a nice little design touch that once you get your first upgrade, a double jump, there is no forward path after that, encouraging you to go back and seek out paths that were previously inaccessible. Nice way of telling you how to play the game without flashing up a text box and telling you what to do.

played a game called islets recently, and noticed it had an appalling lack of a fanbase.

I'd recommend it to any one who likes metroidvanias. It's like hollow knight, but a lot more light hearted, and with a little more focus on platforming rather than combat. Check it out!

Gave Islets a try, it wasn't good

The game was very badly optimized/coded. It's literally 2d particles with flat textures, and yet it managed (probably misusing deltatime or something like that) to load badly (for reference, I've played heavier games in this PC at decent graphic settings, like Warframe or CS2, and on the client it run perfectly). Apart from this, which was super annoying because sometimes it moved way too fast and sometimes it was sloooooow as fuck, the game itself lacks character and personality. It feels halfway done. yeah, sure: it's super wholesome and the textures are cute and all, but... the map design isn't great, every room feels the same, enemies don't seem to belong in their "biomes" apart form a few of them... boss fights don't make any sense either, like lore-wise (the concept was nice! they had something interesting going on but fucked it up!) they are just there and you don't know why you're fighting them or anything. Like the clockmaker, for example. why is it evil? why am i fighting it? didn't it like, help the island? whatever. Halfway done, very very rough edges, the playability is bad, the ambiance is not great either. It is a good attempt, a good beta (or alpha) of a game, but that's it. It's if like the devs dedicated all the time they had for gameplay and play-style smoothing to, idk, make the fonts a bit better or the speech bubbles wobble around. Meh. I got it for free at the Epic games store, but... this one is a flop, i'm sorry.

Games I beat 2024 - 3

Islets is a short metroidvania with cute graphics, which tbh was the main draw for me. Look at that googly eye. Love it.

Anyway, it’s an all right game. But here are my complaints 😂: 

First off, the default controls on the Switch are god awful. Who in their right mind thought B should open the map? (Outside the team who made dragon quest builders anyway) Thankfully you can remap them unlike dqb.

There’s an over reliance on spikes as obstacles. Enemies don’t drop health pickups. This makes it feel like there’s not enough save points. Also, the teleporters aren’t save points, yet later you can warp at save points so it feels like the distinction between the two was unnecessary. 

The attack upgrades don’t seem to do much. In fact I never did get to the point I could one-shot the red wall-crawler crabs everywhere, which was disappointing. 

Speaking of, why are there red wall-crawler crabs everywhere? I mean, I know why, they’re there so you can refill your ammo on them. But there should’ve been a better way to do that, since having the crabs be literally everywhere just highlights the lack of enemy variety in this game. Ammo refills could have been pickups instead, or ammo could auto refill with time (perhaps at the cost of damage overall being lower for ranged attacks).

A lot of new puzzle mechanics were underutilized, introduced for one or two rooms but then not used again (specifically the Portal-like clouds), in favor of yet more “don’t touch the spikes” rooms.

The game was pretty short, for better or for worse. I clocked in at just over 6 hours. And took another 20 minutes or so to 100% it. So yeah, I did 100% it, which probably says something! 

The story never took itself too seriously, with quirky characters that honestly made me laugh, such as as TourFrog and the gardening bunny. GreyBird was a cutie and I liked seeing his growth throughout the story. Snoot never really got his comeuppance for being such a prick so I’m not 100% happy with that but it also does fit the game’s world so I guess it’s all right.

Despite my complaints, I did have fun playing it. I just think it could’ve been better 👍
