@Enan63. Ай бұрын

Congrats on the release guys!!!!!!

@kalega311 Ай бұрын

I've been itching for more linear, level-to-level games. This game caught my eye a few months ago. And this game looks great. I hope to get it soon.

Sounds like what you are looking for!

Personally offended this isn’t on switch

@IDreamofIndie Ай бұрын

Maybe sometime soon we will see!

Fantastic idk but very fidel to an era.

@rkclinite Ай бұрын

Holy crap this actually came out! Kudos!

@Enan63. Ай бұрын

To sum up: 2D Mario + 2D Donkey Kong Country = Celeste 2D Mario + 2D Wario Land = Pizza Tower 2D Mario + 2D Mega Man = Fallen Leaf

NICE!

if this game coming to the Switch I get it

@IDreamofIndie Ай бұрын

Awesome!

@AntLeonardi01 Ай бұрын

Remember when these kind of throwback games were rare?

@IDreamofIndie Ай бұрын

Good to see them alive and well!

@aaronko3480 Ай бұрын

Will definitely pick this up if there’s a Switch version down the road.

@IDreamofIndie Ай бұрын

Cool!

@MotherKojiro Ай бұрын

I'm definitely going to have to check this one out; I love retro titles with a few modern sensibilities thrown in, like towns and upgrades; Shovel Knight did that really well, too.

@IDreamofIndie Ай бұрын

I think you'll enjoy it 😄

@FlowerAngelRave Ай бұрын

Seems like a delightful little platformer. I think I'll have to pick this one up and give it a go sometime. Thanks for the review.

@IDreamofIndie Ай бұрын

Of course!

@DrCasey Ай бұрын

How long is it? Always thought it looks like a beautiful game but hopefully it's not too short. A good 6+ hours would be nice.

@Mycoscopic Ай бұрын

My first beginning to end playthrough took about 16 hours over two days, and early testers got similar times, but it really depends on your play style and how much side stuff you go for (I'm one of the three devs!) There is a full walkthrough run on KZfaq that runs 8.5 hours, though it goes pretty quick through dialogue and cutscenes and I'm not sure how much it's edited.

@DrCasey Ай бұрын

@@MycoscopicThank you :) I'm a completionist. Sounds perfect.

@niveketihw1897 Ай бұрын

Some indie titles are mentioned as having 8 bit graphics but are usually more 16 bit or later, but this game really does look like it came right out of the late 80s. Pretty cool.

@Frogdoddofficial Ай бұрын

Ill get it if its on switch, ps4, or xbox.

Try these kinds of games with reshade, you can add crt scanlines and effects. It looks so good on shovelknight.

@Mycoscopic Ай бұрын

That sounds awesome, is there a specific preset you recommend?

@Pax_Mayn3 Ай бұрын

@@Mycoscopic Use the two packs that are selected by default, then down the list a bit there is one called rsretroarch or something like that. Those 3 you should find one. You can edit the parameters to remove the blur and other effects and it will save your settings. I use these, but I have an old laptop with washed out colors, so it might be different for you. Curves FakeHDR Levels These 3 are for colors and contrast, looks 100% better for me but if you have a good monitor probly not needed. CRTFakeLottes. In the parameters you can change the warping and other settings if you don't like it. This is usually the one I go with. Turn the shadow mask to 2. CRTFrutBunn - This one I turn down the blur effect and it's super clean. There are a lot of good ones just experiement, especially with the scaling stuff, sometimes a filter will look pretty bad, but if you change a parameter to have an even scaling or size it will look drastically different. It's amazing on blasphemous, shovelknight, athenian Rhapsody, undertale, cross blitz, binding of isaac etc basically any pixel art game. It really takes it to the next level.

@Pax_Mayn3 Ай бұрын

@@Mycoscopic Also forgot to mention, sometimes it can cut the fps down to 30, try reslecting the order or turn the scanline shader on and off and it should go back to 60, it's a bug or something. Once you get it set up it will automatically load those settings. When you install it for the game, make sure you pick the correct api, 99% of the time the direct x 11 is the one you need. If unsure, there is a tooltip you can click on when you're selecting the api that will take you to a website you can find out what a specific game uses. If it doesn't load up when you start the game, this is probably why, just reinstall it on the game. If it doesn't show up on the game list obviously just find the main game exe and you're good to go.

@Mycoscopic Ай бұрын

@@Pax_Mayn3 oh, gotcha, thanks! We are stuck with DirectX9.0c for Fallen Leaf unfortunately (I'm one of the 3 devs). I've used Reshade before for Kenshi, if I get a chance to try it with Fallen Leaf I can try to set up a good Preset for it!

...What was the name of the favorite music band the reviewer mentions? I couldn't understand what he said *at all*.

@Over_Toasted 2 күн бұрын

Anamanaguchi. It's a weird word.

@stahly Ай бұрын

This catched my interest because of the gorgeous art style and Mega Man inspired mechanics, but I found the level design in the demo so boring and bland. did they romp it up for the full game?

@Mycoscopic Ай бұрын

Depending on when you played the demo (which evolved over time in response to feedback), the opening levels were tweaked a little bit including some more density. Especially if you played before Leaf was given extra mobility (dash), then there are some changes, yeah. (Dev here)
