Nubs' Adventure 9+

This game is just....wow. On the AppStore nowadays you find (supposedly) emoji makers,apps telling you where Pokèmon are,and on very rare days,a direct port of a game for four dollars. But this? This is way different! Pixel art style,fun gameplay,and having to pay for the rest of the game. Yeah that is right,the developers didn't make a paid version. Which I find ridiculous. Another (stupid) compliant is FALL DAMAGE,IN A 2D PLATFORMER. Well at least the game is still fun. Suggestions, make a paid version,every time you upgrade your house you get some kind of upgrade(bommerang upgrades,more health,and a sword would be nice) All in all the game is fine and I recommend it.

Wow. The graphics are simple, but the gameplay is fantastic. All of the little things add up: multiple ways to move through the levels make it feel like you're really exploring. The basic platforming feels great. I love that there are places that seem out of reach, like it's an actual environment and not just a puzzle you are going to complete. The world is full of nice little reactive atmospheric things, and the music fits in perfectly. You're not just stuck in one style of movement, the way the gameplay works you get to play several kinds of games in one. A great example of the kind of depth you can create when you focus on gameplay over graphics and churning out content. And the story is light, but it sets up some dramatic tension right away, and characters throughout provide little bits of insight and color to the world, without dumping a lot of cheesy dialog on you. Honestly if you like action-adventure games this is really a fantastic modern interpretation of the genre.

My only critique is my fingers sometimes lose the left/right buttons. An adaptive virtual d-pad might be better. Or just some haptic cues or something when you drift off the buttons.

I absolutely adored this game. It's an offline game, you can stop at any time and it won't make you start over, Nubs is so cute and easy to control (although the Dirt Monster is pretty challenging), and it's extremely detailed despite being pixel.
Without buying the full version, I made it to about 25%, and that still took me hours upon hours upon hours. The full version is endlessly fun, as I still haven't completed it (I'm at 45% now).
Even without buying full, the game is amazing, engaging, and definitely high quality! I would recommend it to everyone.
