Video Games 101: A 2D Platform Game Coming 2012

 

 Alright, it’s late in the afternoon and I’ve been basically reading this weeks game Informer, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve read the E3 & Machinima reviews. To Be honest I haven’t even seen that many Indie Develop Games in the last 2 issues, which strikes up my curiosity. But, a few games have caught my eye.

1. Pid – The Game 
Pid a coming 2012 Platform game, Focuses on the melancholy and malicious environment's, enemies and even Allies  you face as a young boy stranded on a planet. Basically, your this kid stranded on an unknown planet and a dozen of robots are trying to stop form either escaping or continuing onward on your Journey, your main motive is of course to stop them and make your way out. 
What I Think About Pid? 




Eye-Glistering Art – [Score- 9.5]
I for one like, the down-drop story of an ordinary boy who has some-how mystically has become spirited away and stranded to this planet filled with a dozen of chaotic-Robots I think it’s “Horribly enchanting.” But, of course the most admired aspect of “PID” has to be it’s Fantasy-Nightlife Art, the levels are created with a bursting color and stunning architecture background that instantly will capture the eyes of the gamer (perhaps, too much.) So, for “PIDS” elegant glossy finish and Art I give a “9.5”.




Level Creation + Structure – [Score- 8.8]
But, at the same time aside form it’s Art : the Build-Up and creation of the levels can be distinguished similar to that of games like “Braid“,Lego Steel”, “Super Mario Bros. 2” and so on.  Of course, this game is in fact an Adventure game at heart, but the concept of how the levels were built, along with the quirky objects tools, and underlining bars and miscellaneous rooms  too help fend against the Robots and to guide you I’ll give the structure and Level Creation“8.8”.




Character Design – [Score- 9.5]
Haven’t taken a full look at all the characters, but from the pre-research I’ve done and read the characters definitely, have a sense of “quirky creativity”, I like the fact that the Robots were not given a somehow static look but a dynamic distinction of look, that at the same time looks “whimsically interesting” yet kind of strange almost like stepping into a ‘high glossy future realm”. The main character looks like a cut paste simple drawing out of dairy of a wimpy kid’s (Greg) only with an added hat and jacket and of course he’s been virtually created and Animated at the same time too!




Plot & Storyline [Score- 8.7 1/2]
Of course, I cannot forget the most important leash the plot! Pids plot looks very promising and very simple, but I’m not too keen on the idea of a Kid being chased around by some random Robots it’s kind of “kinky but cool at the same time” I like how they thought inside but at the same time outside of the box with the plot and how they expanded it by adding the other sufficient features such as the characters and the art so I’ll give the Plot an  “8.7”

Overall On “Might & Delight’s: Pid”
But I’m getting ahead of myself, I haven’t done a Full fledged gameplay of Might & Delight’s": Pid , but from the Glossy yet simple Finish and quirky creative and whimsical character design plus a kinky but cool story line and miscellaneous level structures all I can say is (This Looks Awesome! & Let’s get the “Pid” started!)
My Final Game Score – [9.6 1/2]

*I also wanted to comment about ‘Pid's” character motion and actions I’m not very familiar on rating characters movements and actions of how they react to there environment such as defeating enemies or going through levels/interacting with individuals and objects so I’ll play the game and come back with some more info later.**No Copyright Fragment Intended – All Images & Game Belong To “Might & Delight : Pid”, For more images and Info Visit: http://www.pidgame.com/
