60 of 112 · most liked firstSleeping Valley is one of the worst platformers and games I’ve ever played. It does far too many things wrong in addition to being a technical mess. The only thing is has going for it is the art style. Everything else fails to deliver a good product to the consumer and gives the impression of a student project that tragically misunderstood what makes a platformer entertaining and fun. Constant laughing every time you respawn in a platformer that seems centered around killing you is one of many…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I won this game on a giveaway I entered on a whim and boy am I glad I didn't have to pay single a cent for this piece of crap! I'm mostly writing this review beacuse I think the asking price of 4 euros is downright ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ criminal considering how insultingly unpolished this game is. The controls are the most serious offender, weirdly flowing and overly responsive so you never get a solid feel on how the character will jump or land or move. And since a single touch can kill you, this makes the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This Game has hopes of being a great platformer one day but in It's current state I wouldn't buy it full price. The menu's are not set up to be user-friendly or controller friendly. There is no options to make it fullscreen only windowed. There is in fact no options at all. Not even sound (I had to manually turn it down with my mixer). There is an option labelled controller but it doesnt actually have any controller settings in it. It only shows you how to play it on keyboard not even how to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sleeping Valley is a game that I can't recommend because: - it's not worth the money - it has no option menu - it is boring - the story is poor - the controls are horrible - it has bugs - the graphics aren't that good - the soundtrack is repetitive and annoying - the only good reason to install this game is for the trading cards
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I will try to express how i felt in the game in long story short. The games rating is i have to say 6/10 and i DO RECCOMEND Price: In my eyes pretty good Pros: + Black/White game not alot of these on steam + Pretty good 2D game in my eyes + has good sounds + Cons -Has small glitches/bugs -diffrent sound effects needs -Has some control bugs/glitches that make game annoying really annoying Overall: the game is pretty good but has some small bugs that shoud been fixed i definetly suggest…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →🌟 Review Gameplay Sleeping Valley is 2D platform game, although simple is incredibly addictive and challenging, have simple controls but very sensitive, making that your gameplay requires concentration, patience and practice. The game has full compatibility with controller which makes it more comfortable. Don't have defined stages, save system is through checkpoints you find after the challenges. Graphic Simple and pleasant, interaction with the scenario is very realistic making the game…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have finished the game and i can tell that is very buggy and I don't recomment it. And you can't get the achievement.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Minimalist 2D platformer where you try to survive as long as possible through obstacle-filled levels ✅Simple yet stylish art style ✅World-switching mechanics ❌Lack of general graphics/controls/audio settings ❌No full-screen mode ❌There are few checkpoints in this game, and if you die, it can really set you back so far that you don’t even want to play anymore ❌The soundtrack is very repetitive ❌The game features a double jump, but it didn’t show us how to use it... ❌Imprecise controls, making…

The Keyboard and mouse set up is poorly optimised and enter should work for selecting retry. This game becomes based on luck and RNG once you reach the red background area of this game with little to nothing you can do to help your chances of progression. I'm glad I won this game in a giveaway and didnt buy it…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The controls are awful. When you turn from left to right, in the air, your speed changes completely, making it impossible to adjust jumps as you'd expect. There is also needlessly precise platforming that make these controls even worse... The game looks really cool, but it's very rough in almost all other respects? background picture and the sound effects aren't seamless, for example. One of the worst things is the "UI". So, controller works for the game itself, but not the menus. Keyboard…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's bad. The input is bad and unintuitive, you contol your character like a drunk man would walk. AT LEAST LET PLAYERS RESPAWN BY PRESSING R OR ANY BUTTON INSTEAD OF CLICKING. Something tells me this game exists only to transfer money, because it's too expensive. Won it as a raffle, yet I feel cheated.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →☆☆☆☆☆ This game is absolutely not worth its current price, this feels like a little 0,5 $ game that was merely a students project at college or something. I would definitely not recommend anyone buy it at its current price nor buy it at all. It took me 21 minutes to play through the entire game, and that's with me replaying a section on the second stage quite a bit and then eventually reading up I had to basically cheat my way through it as the "physics" on the level is broken sending…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A basic platformer game. Move jump and dodge spikes..
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Imagine a game where 80% of the time your move inputs go too far
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have spent more time thinking how to depict this platform game rather than enjoying it. I feel like Sleeping Valley developers have a lot of nerve launching this game to Steam at this price. If this game was free play I wouldn't feel so compelled to write a negative review warning new players not to buy this game. Controls are awful, you can only move and jump and both perform pretty bad. When you jump and move while in the air you just move at constant speed at that direction instead of…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love the art style in this game! It is very cute and colours were used very nicely. So I am sad to say that this is only good thing about game, the controls are very bad and you will fail lots because of them. You die many times because something will kill you on random and nothing to do about it. I have to give thumb down, game just is not fun.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't spend your money on this game in any way. Anything else at the base price would be better. Learn from my failure please. If you ever consider even PAYING for this go outside and grab a brick and hit yourself in the head with it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wans't able to play this game the optimisation was very poor and didn't load in a basic resolution such as 1920*1080!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →poorly made platformer
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is actually one of the worst platformers i have ever played. The controls are just awful and the jumping is terrible.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Despite the visually appealing art and effects, the execution of movements and gameplay was horrible. You only movements are the typical AWSD arrows and the ability to double jump, but the jumping animation feels wonky and unprecise. It feels like when I want to jump a distance, my character ALWAYS goes further than what is intended, which could be a mouse sensitivity issue or FPS lag. This appears to be a consistent issue across others too, who have played this game at least up to the second…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Annoying platformer with terrible controls. I think it was designed to be as frustrating as possible. Even the menus are frustrating.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well, if you don't get angry too easily, or even more than too easily, then try and play ;) It's not an easy game, but it doesn't make it great. Graphics style is quite likeable. Handling your character precisely is not possible, so I belive this is the way of making the game harder than it would normally be. To sum up, I wouldn't pay the whole amount for it, so if you're a serious platformer fan get it when seriously discounted, otherwise look further.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sleeping Valley is a wasted potential with an interesting, cute artstyle. Normally I quite enjoy games like these, however this one I couldn't stand more of it. It is so mechanically incompetent, you won't be playing past the first level. I mean, you might not be able to even start the second level. See, the first level was okay, there wasn't much to talk about; it was a typical first level for a platformer of this kind. Second level, however, I just died; wasn't able to move. Rocks were…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I can't take game seriously, when it has typos inside of it. Especially in title. Screens: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=782657311 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=782667828 And it opens as window titled "Player". I'll edit review after I actually played game (later today, hopefully). Edit: Actually game is full of bugs. 1st included screen moving left all the time: http://steamcommunity.com/id/Beridok/screenshot/478897452600397809 2nd and 3rd are…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐚𝐦𝐞: Hardcore platformer. We play as a creature that chases a ghost through the caves. To complete the game, you need to go through several caves that differ in color, bypassing glowing obstacles. In our arsenal there will only be the opportunity to walk and make a double jump, but that's enough, because all the enemies in the game are static, and if something is moving, then along a certain trajectory. 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐚𝐦𝐞: 1. Cute graphics,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Remember Limbo? That unsettling artistic platformer that won the hearts and minds of players everywhere, the game widely considered to be one of the Indie Darlings? How about a discount Fisher Price version of that? Much like Limbo you start out in as a big headed child, (?) thing in a big scary world while looking for some sort of female creature (at least I assume it is female but generic creepy child laugher can fool anyone’s perception of gender) for no good reason you chase after the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What a crummy game. >Ugly graphics >Bad physics >Weird controls >terrible level design >No quick restart button >>you have to use the mouse to hit the resart button >>>This is a game where your hands are on the spacebar and the arrow keys >>>>wtf
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →When I first started playing the game, I was honestly enjoying it. The first two areas were fun and engaging, and present a good challenge that kept me on my toes thinking. It's by no means the best platformer I've played, but it was just a small little distraction. Getting to the third, Red Area, really killed the game for me, though. Once I hit that area, I stopped having any fun. It became more about luck and endurance of having to restart than actual difficulty. All that being said, the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is almost broken....but you realize it properly on the third level, where all the "platform" mechanic goes to hell, rocks that pops up casually and going round without any reason...only to make you die...don't waste your money on this game!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Despite seeing that the controls were bad at first glance I decided to give the game a chance only to realize things become worse as you go on. Pros: Nothing in particular (except maybe trading cards) Cons: -No story -Glitches -Bad character controls -Highly unfair and/or random sections -Unreliable Checkpoints -Possibly not even beatable After a lot of patience and effort I finally made it to the Red Sea which seems to be the 3rd out of 5…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't play this when there are so many terrific platformers available. To pick a couple suggestions - Limbo for atmosphere and silhouette art, Super Meat Boy as an all-around great platformer with good control, Mutant Mudds as another quirky platformer that springs to mind. The game does have reasonable art design and atmosphere... but controls are awkward, and level design is uninspired, with an uneven difficulty curve (lots of dull things and occasional batch of fiddly hard jumps). The…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Believe it or not, the story is actually the high point of this game for me. There is no written story or verbal story, but that doesn't mean the game doesn't have one. From the very beginning you are shown to be chasing after this other white...thing, that looks like you. It provokes mystery and persuades the player to go on further. As you play more you encounter white things that look like you. All of them dead or imprisoned, and it tells the tale of what could very well happen to you. It…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A bad platformer game with very imprecise controls. The developers keep changing the price of the game around for seemingly no reason. It is absolutely not worth the current 9,99€ 13,79€ they are asking for.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Please dont ever in your life even consider buying this piece of crap.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sleeping Valley is a gloomy and straightforward platformer with no story and just plenty of obstacles to avoid. Controls are a bit sensitive and unpolished, and occasionally do get in the way of a successful run. A drawback, though not one I would say is game-ender. The main issue for me is the terrible UI, especially upon death. You are likely going to die a lot, but when that happens, the player is met with a game over screen with restart or back to main menu, and it is rather tedious to…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It gets old after the first run.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is complete garbage. Keyboard controls simply don't allow you to move, and gamepad stick controls don't allow you to move consistently. The game isn't hard because the levels are difficult. It's hard because you can't actually play it. You just create some inputs and wait for luck to be on your side.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sleeping Valley is a game about a small robot trying to make it from Point A to Point B without dying. There's no story to this game other than a game where you try to make it to the next checkpoint without dying. You will die if you touch anything that is white. There are saw blades, enemies, electric charges, and areas on the levels that you can't touch or you'll die. The visuals are a basic black and white scheme with some background images in another color. There's no music, but there are…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bad game. Some glitches. There are no achievements, but it says. But you can get trading cards.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Quite unrensponsive movement, you don't feel like you've got very control over your character, what is essential in platformer games. Besides that, game seems bugged. It allowed me to skip a short fragment by climbing onto the top of level and when I entered red scenery, my character teleports in rather inconvenient place (right above the killing obstacles) when I try to jump. It also isn't user friendly, restarting could be assigned to a keyboard key, or be even automatic. I might not have…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You guessed it. It's garbage. The controls don't work at all.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This poorly put together 2D platformer feels really unfinished. There's what looks like a physics system but no real need to use it from what I can see as it's just a really mundane, gimmickless platformer. Some kudos for not using retro pixel graphics... but there's no fullscreen option and the graphics are fairly low quality anyway (they went down the second path taken by lazy developers, an esoteric minimalist look). This one is black and white with simplistic robot figures or something.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I liked the first level but after making it to the "Red Sea" I noticed that the game is broken somehow. If you look at the trailer it shows rocks FALLING OFF FROM THE CEILING, not randomly bouncing around like it does in the game at its current state, making it impossible to clear the level. This is the main reason I am giving it a thumb down. Do not buy this game until the issue has been fixed, if it ever will.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →(Game received for free from the community for participating in Steamgifts.com. Wasn't sure if I should mark this even if it wasn't from the developer.) Terrible imprecise platforming, trial and error death gameplay, and controls designed by an idiot. Your movement is far too imprecise, just tapping the input makes you nearly rocket forward. This makes the first jump in the game near impossible, as you need to get off a little ramp onto a slightly lower step to have enough distance, but…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I know after 20 minutes that this game is the biggest GARBAGE and should have been free, if I didn't get it from random code I would have never played this GARBAGE game. DO NOT BUY !!!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game is clearly someones early attempts at making a platform based game, it's decent.... but not good. so keep that in mind if you do buy this. game consist of <- (space) and -> movement, sometimes the arrow keys are unresponsive.... just remember the game is 5$ and it accomplishes what it tried to make though poorly... aka the price....

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Absolute crap. It's not megacrap - it's playable - but it's definitely NOT enjoyable. The controls are slippery on keyboard and controller, there's no way to navigate the game menu with a controller (and there isn't much need to do that, UNLESS you die and need to click the restart button on the menu. The main character doesn't have a sprite for turning - it's like a 2D paper model you're just guiding along a flat path, like the cheapest puppet show in the world. The collision boxes for the…
