With the Indie Box, the entire XboxSquad editorial team offers you mini reviews of very little known or featured indie games. While some don’t deserve to step out of the shadows of the Xbox Marketplace, others might be worth a look. That is the whole subject of this section.
Platform game developed by Urântia Games and published by Phoenix Reborn Games, reminder link puts you in the shoes of a little boy chasing after a girl with red hair. For what ? Good question ! The game’s plot remained hopelessly beyond my comprehension throughout my testing.
Controller in hand, it lacks a bit of precision and, above all, responsiveness. I lost count of the number of times my character died due to a missed jump, especially when the Run and Jump buttons are combined. The height for a platformer. Fortunately, the save points materialized by cats are numerous. reminder link
Graphically, apart from the young lady’s hair, everything is old-school in black, white and gray pixels. Everything is stylized thanks to the addition of a CRT filter, which smells good of the old 36cm TVs we played on when we were younger.. It’s not without its charms, but luckily the filter can be disabled in the options for clarity.
The only tune you’ll hear throughout the adventure, relentlessly spinning on a loop, quickly had me sawing off my ears while chanting satanic incantations. Good advice, cut the music before you go crazy!
In the end, there isn’t much to save reminder link except for the completion at 1000G which will only take you a few minutes.
I appreciated:
- 1000G very fast
- Le look old school
I’m sorry :
