    Like Bennett Foddy mixed with Meat Boy. Traps everywhere, but levels are lengthy and getting hit knocks you back, which can snowball. On an xbox controller, I couldn't use the dpad, making it harder to be accurate. I uninstalled after ten minutes because, while I do hate myself, I don't hate myself enough to play this game for more than ten minutes. It seems pretty good if you DO hate yourself that much, though.

    Precision platformer + difficult + bosses = Are you pro enough for this game? Escape the virus boss pursuit and avoid dangers. Get caught in the traps and you can bounce back a bit or to the beginning. [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/35180752-3-point-play/] Follow our curator for similar games

    Controls are extremely unresponsive, sometimes the player does not jump even if you pressed the jump key as you are 2 pixels above the ground, and in a game where the timing of jumps matters a lot, this is unbearable. Some spikes have weird hitboxes. Overall not a pleasant experience, would not recommend.

    Let me be clear, this game could be fun, but it is such a wasted potential. I usually don't have problems with rage games because all the fails feel like it's my fault. But when randomness gets introduced it can hinder the experience. The last level especially feels like it's trying to reach the 2 hour mark if you haven't hit it already. If you've played platformers before then it really isn't a challenging game which is sad, because the only form of replayability comes from replaying the old…

    I tried Smilemo (the game Jin played) and honestly... How did he do all of that without swearing? It's infuriating! It's rage-inducing! I can't believe he didn't let one F-bomb slide through. Jin has more patience than me and then some. 🤣

    I posted this on my BTSxARMY Gamers account (New). Figured that if there are any Army who are gamers here, you'd find this interesting. Jin was playing a game called "SMILEMO" Released in May, 2022.

    The game was a lots shorter than i expected, beat it in 105 min. It's a fun platformer in the veins of getting over it where you can lose some progress, However, the game is divided into multiple level, and these level also contain checkpoints which make the punishment not that bad. You unlock a few ability, and can collect stuff in some level to get a better rank. The only negative is that i had to farm to get 400 hit in one level, and that getting an s rank doesnt give you a rank, b rank…

    English CFK offers us Smilemo, a new 2D side-scrolling platform title that can be very addictive for those who love the genre, but it also has a very high difficulty, so if we don't have enough patience it's likely that we won't get past the first level. Its gameplay feels very fluid and fun, we quickly got used to it, and both its retro-style graphics and sound help create a very entertaining experience. It is not a very long game, since it only has 7 levels, which will ensure us a good…

    Too much bugs. Don't try unless if you have a perfect operation. The game is not difficult but bugs really matter my experience.

    Quick Score: 4/5 Notes: Pretty decent platformer overall. A bit short and not sure I would recommend at full price, but if you can get it on sale I would say go for it.

    1/10 10$ for 7 levels the farther you get into the game the farther you get combo knocked back when hit to the point where i no longer care to play

    It was funny the first few times but I'm over it. Like all games that rely on timing, jump mechanics and "physics" (F you Oxford comma, rot in hell) the jump input is not received, you fail miserably, the game ruins your progress and thus your desire to ever complete this game.

    Smilemo is a deceptively cheerful 2D action platformer that combines colorful pixel art with an intentionally punishing approach to movement and failure. Developed and published by SungjunJo, it places players inside a computer system that has been overwhelmed by a dangerous virus. The surviving Smilemo sets out to recover scattered vaccine code and restore the infected system. Although the premise is simple, it gives the adventure a fitting digital identity while allowing the platforming…

    a short but very fun platformer game. it also does an amazing job at making you rage with the crazy RNG knockback dealt to you if you fail some parts. the music was pretty fire as well.

    The unclear elasticity index and unclear pain distance make this game difficult to accept which makes player annoying as a result be patient if you really want to try the game I hope the developer can provide more clearer information of the following index to improve player's experience

    2 MIN VIDEO REVIEW: https://youtu.be/JkS55yIoR_I -------------------------------------------------- TL;DW: Solid Rage game, if you enjoy Super Meat Boy or Getting Over It you'll feel right at home here, this game is definitely NOT for the faint of heart, but it was developed with a lot of heart.
