Some note bugs, awkward controls, or a clumsy back third. [1][2][3] Many find it a charming, creative platformer with varied levels and secrets. [4][5][6]

Decline's Drops is a highly stylised indie platform game with its own unique vision and hand-drawn art style Pros Cons ✔️ Although the story pokes fun at clichéd plotlines that you've all seen before, the characters are great and interesting, and the story is enjoyable ❌ World 5 in general is very buggy. You can see an example [url=https://youtu.be/5YoAzWin-aQ]here ✔️ It's a very fun platform brawler, and each …

A relaxing and solid game that takes advantage of its character's platform fighter-like moveset well. You dodgeroll past lasers and poison walls, bounce off things with your aerial attacks, and have a lot of ways to deal with enemies including a devastating timed parry followup. It feels interactive and satisfying, but a bit slippery sometimes due to the character Globule's loose air speed (not hard to get used to, …

Delight of a game, nice 8.5/10, was a real fun time to 100%,w hen you 100% a game without really planning to and just from playing and without guide then you know you have a great game. I usually tire quick of most 2D platformers but Decline Drop had a great sense of creativity and variety to it. Nearly every level has a new level obstacle, the side hidden content in levels is well paced, not too easy to find and …

It's platform fighter controls in exploratory stages, reminiscent of Wario Land and with a dose of Donkey Kong Country. Specifically like, the atmospheric exploration parts of Wario Land that Pizza Tower abandoned. Great vibes. Lots of juggling enemies and hunting for secrets, and it's all exceedingly satisfying. I was a bit worried early on that so many stages per world was a bit much and might drag, but I was …

Good! Unfortunately is unable to reach "great" due to a *noticeably* clumsy back third, but it feels generally good to play, and while individual level mechanics are not always especially unique interesting, they are swapped in and out with enough frequency to keep the game's momentum up. The game's excellent soundtrack helps to smooth over the remaining bumps.

neutral · AI labelView post →I've been consumed by the Decline's Drops soundtrack since playing the game yesterday for Hidden Gems. Despite wanting to put even more hours into Monster Hunter I'm probably gonna jump back into Decline's Drops cause it was fun and the music has me in a chokehold.
positive · AI labelView post →I just love when you can tell a developer actually plays video games. But it's really rare to find someone who combines this with talent and the artistic vision this game goes for. The developer describes their game as a platform brawler, and I agree with that—in that order. This is, first and foremost, a platformer that spices things up with its combat. In the description, you can see the dev mentioning the greats like Yoshi's Island, DKC: Tropical Freeze, and Kirby’s Adventure in terms of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →D'accord! I wanted to try my hand at the newest Globine design from @moulinauxbulles.bsky.social 's game, Dash'n'Drops.

positive · AI labelView post →I don't usually write reviews for games I play, but for this one, I felt like it deserves it. I've probably played this game more than the average person, and it's for a good reason. The TL;DR Decline's Drops is a robustly designed, fun single-player (for now) game that uses elegant art, fluid hand-drawn animation, and a finely-crafted soundtrack to create a unique experience, and invites the player to go with its flow. There's a LOT of game in this video game, especially for players willing…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Decline's Drops rules It's been a grip since I've played a platformer that felt this good, a game that really just took all the best lessons from Kirby Superstar Donkey Kong Country 2 Mario 2 Yoshi's Island and Smash! Legit great game if you just wanna smile and enjoy a lil' platformin for a bit!

positive · AI labelView post →Really dissapointed to have to give this a negative review because I really wanted to enjoy it, but the trailers make this seem like an almost entirely different game, its so slow and floaty and the attacks have so much windup that you'll basically never get a decent combo going, it's like playing smash brawl online, it feels like every attack im trying to use takes a full second or so to come out, and combo-ing is pointless because most enemies die in one hit anyway, the levels I've played so…

neutral · AI labelView post →First off i would like to say that there is a lot of polishing this game needs. the lack of sound effect from the menus, character, enemies, and environments can make this game feel empty at times. the music, while i understand what its trying to go for, doesn't end up being very appealing either. some of the art aspects are fine, but other times i can clearly see when it cuts corners. Combat and movement doesn't end up feeling very good either. the game tries to go for a platform fighter…

The music in the demo video above is amazing, the in game…

I wasn't sure I would like the gameplay after trying out the demo last night (I got really frustrated) but the actual game is awesome so far, very polished! Music, color scheme, art, controls are great! It's more like smash melee combat meets 2D Rayman, unlike in Rayman you can go back, not stuck in forever forward which is great. I just finished the first level and had fun,…
