    For some, the gameplay might prove too simple and the comparatively low fidelity visuals might pull people out of the experience and distract them from what the game does well. While part of me would definitely love to see Lifeless Planet re-imagined with a more modern engine and an extra layer or two to the gameplay, I can’t deny I found the game plenty compelling as it is. So, for those interested in a no-frills, story driven sci-fi adventure that doesn’t overstay its welcome, Lifeless Planet is well worth a closer look.

I am familiar with run jump-type games and although not my favorite I respect them for what they are. So here is this cool, rather pretty games of mostly just hopping over things and following a story. Well, I would have to say that I finally about halfway actually gave up on this one. The designer obviously thought it funny to have a run jump timed (crane mission) that is just infuriating. I like others who have run through this (even after looking at walkthroughs) just don't want to keep trying the same stupid can you hit a button then jump on a moving platform fast enough. Actually going to delete it and never see the end even though I am curious. Additionally not going to support this game designer for any other work. Not interested in tossing my money at someone who wants to prove their game design is right.… Full Review »

No, the platforming isn’t Super Meat Boy tight or anything, but the controls are nowhere near as bad as other reviews are making it out to be and don’t hinder progression in the slightest. Combined with the fascinating story, a good level of difficulty for the puzzles, and the surprisingly beautiful indie visuals; it’s a fantastic experience especially for space/sci-fi lovers. For the $5 eShop sale price it was more than worth it, and I would’ve been just as happy with it if I had paid full price.… Full Review »
