I like video games that do not play around. No fuss or fluff, simply “Right here’s what I am as well as below’s what you obtain.” That’s the ambiance I receive from Dive Jerboa from self-described “mainly solo” programmer Chinykian. This is a minimal one-button platformer that includes a Jerboa, which is an animal I had not been formerly knowledgeable about. What’s a Jerboa after that? Component bunny, component kangaroo, as well as component rat, it’s a pet that navigates by leaping as well as it’s both charming as well as terrible at the exact same time. A minimum of the pixel art variation in Dive Jerboa is a lot more lovable than the actual point, as well as the excellent choice to star in a platforming video game that’s everything about leaping.
That’s an additional aspect of Dive Jerboa: It aims to be minimal as well as very easy to have fun with simply one-button controls, yet when you remove a style to its most bare fundamentals, you need to definitely nail the feeling of every square inch of the video game. The good news is Chinykian does simply that. The leaping physics are excellent as well as accurate, with granularity in the stamina of your dive based upon exactly how brief or lengthy you touch the dive switch. Wall surface leaping is additionally a base auto mechanic below, as well as once more your weight as you glide down the wall surface as well as springtime off of it once more simply really feels excellent.
With those core technicians pin down tight, Dive Jerboa invests its 90 degrees (with even more organized) discovering a number of supplementary technicians, like dive pads, roaming opponents, Donkey Kong Nation– like cannons, going away systems, as well as a lot more. The degree styles are simply remarkable, as well as the difficulty degree is perfect without really feeling as well very easy or as well hard. There’s an incentive difficulty of getting every coin in a degree in a solitary run, if you require a little additional something. You will certainly pass away a great deal, yet the reactivate is nearly instantaneous, as it ought to remain in video games similar to this, so it’s not a problem to attempt a specifically tough degree over as well as over till you obtain it perfect.
While the gameplay itself is the celebrity of Dive Jerboa, it does not injure that the visuals are additionally pleasing, as well as the chiptune soundtrack is simply ordinary superb. It’s a very easy video game to advise as well as it’s totally totally free with advertisements, as well as a single IAP to eliminate them if you desire. This definitely isn’t the very first one-button accuracy platformer similar to this, as well as it’s not that it’s damaging any type of actual brand-new ground or anything, yet Dive Jerboa is carefully sharpened from every angle, as well as it’s a radiating instance of this sort of video game done perfect.
