Nice game! Platforming gets challenging, the graphics are nice and the mechanics are quite interesting. 👌

Fantastical Journey: Adventures, puzzles, and skills... oh my. 8.5/10 The artist in this game did an amazing job. The characters, level design and overall universe is unique and inspiring. Visually, this is such an amazing looking game. The overall game play and level design is well thought out and executed. Progressing through the game, obtaining the base upgrades and unlocking new magic abilities feels rewarding & keeps the game interesting. The game keeps you on your toes and fully immersed throughout the majority of your game play. Each magical skill brings its own skill set and way of approaching puzzles, which often feel engaging. The only reason I didn't give this game a 10/10 is cuz some of the sections get very obnoxious, very fast. Though the game does use a pretty forgiving checkpoint system to keep things moving. Over all the game is just well designed. This dev team should be proud of their game. I think most games should aspire to be this well thought out. If they ever make a sequel, i'm buying.

Thoroughly enjoyed this game! It's a mix of the puzzles of Abe's Odyssey, the fast hard platforming of Celeste, the quick time events of Ori / Rayman and the metroidvania skills of Hollow Knight. Put them all together and you get this underrated gem of a game that I'd never heard of and never comes up in Metroidvania lists. Considering I bagged it for under a fiver and I'll get about 10 hours of playtime, I think it's thoroughly worth it!

I have a real soft spot for this game. It's 8 hours of endlessly expanding and innovating platforming action that scratches a special itch in my brain. It's experimental, but since the basics never change, its easy to adapt and every mistake feels like your own fault. The artstyle is pleasant and cute, but can flex those horror muscles when it needs to. The story is good enough to keep me invested without feeling overbearing. The downside comes with the music, which is too simple and repetitive, especially for this kind of game, and the animation, which is honestly pretty bad at times, only passable the rest of the time. But, I'd say those elements are fairly easy to ignore.

TL;DR - Trust Fall, the game. $4 - A steal. $10 - a bargain. $20 - wouldn't have tried it. [+] The tutorial of this game is an absolute masterpiece. [+] The game clearly wants to tell you a story but it doesn't force it. [+] The gimmick of this game is the game. It isn't part of the game. It isn't stapled to the game. It is the game, and it's an absolute treat, and we can all learn a lot from this. This game is an absolute delight. You're going to either love this concept in it's entirety or you're going to find another game. That's about all there is to it. There are clearly situations in this game that you legit just have to trust that the developer put a platform over there, cause the only way it works is if they put a platform over there, and they did put a platform over there because they want you to know that you can trust them. You have to trust them. This is Trust Fall, the game, and I love it. I'm also sad. I played 4 other games before this that all had 10 - 20x the reviews and exposure that this cheeky little game got, and this game takes a multi-dimensional dump on the lot of them.
