Cryogear

Fun and addictive gameplay, however lack of features cause that to stop. Will await fixes and come back to it.

This game has some bugs. In the hidden area where you transfer energy from the guardians, the bottom left of the hidden area when you transfer energy the screen above you doesn't say energy transferred but the red circle telling you if it works turns blue. At the bottom right next to the man that says I'm busy, the screen above you says energy transferred but the console where you hold up to transfer energy is still red and so is the circle indicator and I never got to hold up. I have some save points left I need help with. One of the save points look like you need the jetpack from the hidden area to get to, the other is under water with wide buttons but I looked and I haven't found a way to turn off the solid lasers. At the top left of one of the rooms there are two chests and a blue item being protected by a solid laser that won't turn off. If it was off I could jump to those chests. None of these things I need help reaching are in hidden areas so unless I have a jetpack I'm stuck.

This whole glitch-art, pixel renaissance thing that's been blowing up the last few years sure is swell. I don't even have to perform very well in an unforgiving, old-school, side-scroller like this and still enjoy myself. The soundtrack and visuals keep me interested. And oh look, there's rpg stuff and crafting. Sure. Why not? I like building things, like fishing the tape back into the Betamax cassette. It's odd, isn't it, how obsessed we are with old things made new? I was an early adapter of DVD - how crisp it looked compared to VHS, and Dolby Digital sound, no less. Banger! Now here we are with 4k TV, and physical media is outmoded, but us old geezers still gotta wax philosophic on the good 'ol days of VHS glitch-lore.
