Into Mirror 9+

I think this game is very well made for the most part. I like the challenges. I don’t like when a character gets stuck certain places and the jump button won’t even work. I thought the ending was very anticlimactic - and I didn’t really understand it? But it also looks like an ending that was supposed to have a follow up story or sequel. I really like this game though! Would love to see this with a more detailed story line.

This feels like a mediocre kongregate game but then you get a 5 minute intro of the worst sci-fi tweets you’ve ever read leading to the “tutorial” which is just playing in ten second bursts while the game pauses to reveal a new directional arrow and saying you can press that to move in that direction. Then after that lobotomy you might play for an hour or two then find out it didn’t save anything and you need to do the whole intro again. Also don’t bother with the challenges, as soon as an enemy spawns the game harasses you with one of its constant pop ups begging you to watch a video while you get shanked in the background. I gladly support games with ad clicks and purchases but not when they constantly interrupt the actual game with greedy panhandling.

Mediocre level design. Soundtrack is full of 1-2 minute long loops that get real repetitive over time.
Bugs and exploits such as being killed by explosions THROUGH WALLS. Sometimes the game will drop you into situations where you get stunlocked and can't do anything about it, not to mention having to go back and grind for credits just to upgrade your gear. I haven't beaten the story yet but so far the writing seems mundane and the main character seems to have no personality at all.

Overall there are so many other platformers out there that are much better and offer so much more. This game has an equipment system that doesn't even need to be there, and is just meant to pad out game time through grinding, not to mention the grinding isn't even that fun. Either wait for super Mario run, or get Arcane Souls or Dan the Man, both of those games are wayy more fun.

At least it doesn't have forced ads ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
