  This game is really awesome so far! Its definitely unique and i always find these kind of games really enjoyable to play (when im not raging). I really like how its split up into chapters. Not a very detailed review but there really isnt much else to say, its fun! I did a playthrough on it so if you guys are interested in seeing some gameplay check it out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLsXkMIV6ao

  I can only just recommend this game, which has that pretty silhouettes look and some nice powers, because the platforming is so infuriating. The 22 levels are very samey. The only reason I managed to keep the interest (and self-control) needed to finish it is the super-frequent and fast-to-reload checkpoints. But then it's an iPad game by the looks of it, I'd be appalled if it weren't quick. The team has promise, but they *really* need to tighten up the controls. Actually you know what? I'm going to retract my recommendation, because the controls were that annoying.

  Like many indie platformers, [i] Oscura: Lost Light [/i] is constructed around a gameplay gimmick. In this case, it's the ability to collect four gems that each grant your character a different power, such as the ability to walk on the ceiling, break through rock walls, etc. The catch is that you can only hold one gem in hand at a time, and the power it grants only lasts for a few seconds before it has to recharge. So you'll have to carefully time your use of each gem, and moves that require you to combine the powers of two different gems (like breaking a rock wall near the ceiling) will have you working that quick-swap button with precision. Meanwhile the terrain is sprinkled with spikes and lava pits because, well, platformer. There's also the occasional enemy to avoid, and your character has no way of attacking them; this is a jump-and-dodge game through-and-through. The TL;DR on [i] Oscura [/i] is that it's not the most innovative game in the world... but it ain't half-bad, either. The visual design is striking (if derivative), the stages are well-constructed, and the difficulty level is pure Goldilocks: neither a cakewalk nor a ragequit-inducing, [i] Super Meat Boy [/i] style wall-puncher. The whole thing lasts about 5-6 hours, which is quite a reasonable length for a $7 game. Most importantly, it's consistently fun to play through. I don't recall ever switching it off in frustration, or leaving it aside for a week after growing bored with it. It's not an essential purchase by any means, but it makes a solid entry into any platforming fan's collection.

  "Oh look, I don't know nothing about physics in gaming or real life but I'm gonna make a game based on physics anyway !" Should have requested a refund after the first few levels.

  This game gave me a lot of enjoyment at the start, but at the end, I was rather irritated a lot as the game became just too difficult to play, so I’ve lost interest in it! I’ve stopped playing it literally at the last level so cannot get a refund. You cannot set difficulty at all!!! The music is well composed, however, after a while it can be a bit annoying and if you turn off the sound it will turn off everything including music and sound too. Basically, it will be muted. I would’ve appreciated allowing the user to turn the music off and allow the sound effects. Saving points are getting far from each others in time as you progress into the game, so if you die, you will have to go along way again. Not to mention, if you lost interest playing and decided to carry on some other time, you will have to start the whole level again from the beginning. In my opinion, basically you are punished when you supposed to have fun. Not trying to be rude, but I reckon it was designed to be this way. Graphics are quite good for a game like this and also, levels are well designed, however, after awhile they’re rather similar. They should’ve put more riddles in it, they would make it more interesting. And guess what? It is just too difficult at the end, could be a little easier to play. I’m very sorry, but I wouldn’t recommend this game because of the above.
