Today, I decided to play and review the game Shiny from Garage 227. I've got a lot of wonderful things to say about this game and its development team. The main character is a robot, Shiny, and his goal is to save robots, collect batteries, and finish the level before running out of energy or taking too much damage from obstacles. The soundtrack is fantastic, alternating between extremely realistic and appropriate …

"Fans of platform games will definitely not be disappointed by Shiny. It looks beautiful and works just fine. Shiny proves that a videogame doesn’t need violence to be fun. Shiny reminded me of Rayman Legends, because every level looks awesome and there has been attention to create some new side scrolling tactics. Where Rayman is loud an bright colored, Shiny is calm and brings a world build out of metal to life. …

The cover art from the steam page got my attention right away, I’m a sucker for interesting looking platfomers. I blame it on those cute little yellow eyes, they almost smiled at me. I thought Shiny would be a fun loving little robot platformer with perhaps a quirky soundtrack and interesting mechanics involving robotic acrobatics. To my surprise, however, Shiny was quite different. The main character is *not* …

Alright, I'm just gonna get straight right to it, it's very mediocre and bland. There's also tons of issues that I've noticed after 100% this game :- - The platforming mechanics felt so janky, you can't even control your character movement that much in the air so it makes some of the platforming kinda frustrating, but once you reach level 14 and above, you just use your jetpack and breeze through the game like …

Overall = 3/10 A very unpolished (unfinished?) 2D platformer with a dodgy jump mechanic. The story is ok, the graphics are mostly good and the robots have a little bit of character and charm about them, but the game itself is pretty poor. The levels and traps are basic, dull and uninspired in their design and challenge, the jump mechanic doesn’t feel right, the camera is fiddly to use and it doesn’t always follow …

39% of the 41 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Shiny. The complaint that keeps coming up: unresponsive or sloppy controls. Deal-breaker or nitpick?

Even controls in options menu are messed (you can only move between options with stick, then press A but value can only be changed with directional button) Cannot move a character with d-pad, UI is poor. Gameplay seems to be slow paced and boring without any form of combat, just move right, sometimes press X, you cannot even jump much…

positive · AI labelView post →Decent graphics with endearing characters, unfortunatelly the gameplay lacks polish and ends up being a major challenge to overcome (platforming properly shouldn't be the biggest challenge a platformer has to offer). Even if the player gets used to the wonky jumping, some game breaking bug (like falling through a stage infinitely without being put back into a playable position; Classic) will probably destroy any glipse of fun he was probably having with this one. Hopefully the devs can fix the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mainly because I'm supposed to be "polite" and because my repertoire of swear words is completely inadequate to the task, All I can say is: This game is very beautiful to see. It's a great concept. BUT! There are FAR too many places where the SLIGHTEST miscalculation will cause a reset to the last checkpoint! I think this problem would be MUCH improved if the "jumps" were preset instead of a bloody drift because the player dared to hold the direction key just a Hair too long. This is…

negative · AI labelView post →Thumbs down but its not terrible. Graphics are nice, music is relaxing but controls just arent quite tight enough, especially with landing after a jump. Having to use the right analog stick to manually move the camera all the time to make sure i dont jump into a pit and die got old quick. That and the character always seemed to move just a tad to the right after landing. This would make me have to overcorrect my jumps constantly by jumping and moving to the right then immediately holding the…
