Flightless demo review
A review I meant to write for the Steam Greenlight Flightless page and post highlighting the great parts of Flightless, however, I was restricted to only 1000 characters, which was pretty annoying seeing as my review was exactly 3300 characters long. Oh well.

Review
Nitrome, when I voted for Flightless, the Steam box told me to "leave a comment below and let the developer know why you're excited about their game." Well, it's time I did that, since, there is a lot I like about Flightless.

Nitrome, Flightless looks as though it's going to be an absolutely exceptional Metroidvania Puzzle game. The art, gameplay, and even multiplayer mode, there is so much to love about Flightless.

First off, the art is good, it has that great Nitrome art. The game's art reminded me a lot of the Nintendo Wii/Gamecube first-person adventurer Metroid Prime, notably the Tallon Overworld stage.

Next, I found the gameplay marvelous. Even the demo was good (as several sites highlighted), the demo providing a lot of exploration and unique puzzles. A fan of Metroidvanias, I got excited to find Nitrome finally making a game like this. I generally don't like puzzle games as I find them rather uninteresting - before I used to associate all puzzle games with pushing boxes around on buttons to open up doors.

Although Flightless is a puzzle Metroidvania, it isn't like other games I played. The player being unable to jump and having to climb and drop ladders for vertical movements produces puzzles that don't just reuse elements that puzzle games have been reusing so much. Also, Flightless does have enemies that can be killed, and not just enemies placed around just to make the game difficult. The exploration element is another part of the gameplay I enjoyed a lot. I also enjoyed finding those secret rooms by going through those non-solid blocks, something I also enjoyed a lot in the 2D Metroid games.

Finally, the element in the game I laud the most is the multiplayer functionality. A well working multiplayer platformer, and for a first a well working multiplayer Metroidvania is one of the best points of the game. It's rather unusual how a small company such as Nitrome can create a multiplayer platformer experience that does not interfere with the game, and actually has thought put into it.

Games such as New Super Mario Bros. Wii and Kirby's Epic Yarn (Wii) which are both platforming games with lots of people who worked on it, made by Nintendo, and yet the multiplayer mode in the games are poorly made, so many times in these games I've been killed due to hard or unavoidable off-screen hazards impacting me due to lack of space, or having to wait for player 2 to catch up (problems completely due to both players [i]having[/i] to stay on the same screen, with no split-screen). Other problems have also occurred due to both players being interpreted as solid objects, thus, able to push each other around (usually into health losing objects).

Fortunately, thought has been put into the multiplayer function of Flightless to make it run smoothly, not at all impacting the game (although player 2 can be used to more easily pass some puzzles, something that proves to be helpful in tough situations). Two players going on their own adventure around the temple is a great idea. Flightless has great art, unique gameplay, and a great multiplayer function that runs well (a multiplayer Metroidvania, a great idea). Overall, Flightless has great gameplay and good art, and looks as though it's going to turn out real well and earn a lot of awards.
