horrid
I was having fun with this game until I got to the third boss. It's just way too hard even on normal mode. The save point is way too far away from the fight. Having be chased by lava while getting shot at while you climb to the top just to get unloaded on the moment you get there is just too much. I don't play games like this to have to be perfect, I need some help, like some health packs that aren't insanely expensive, or just some check points right before a boss.
Either way, the fun was sucked out of this game for me.
Very meh game.
Cute little game with a lot of depth.
More than meets the eye.
Controls are a little clunky but reminiscent of classic games in this genre.
Lack of polishment and personality.
More like an action platformer instead of metroidvania.
Some bad things:
-You can double jump from the beginning, so you HAVE to double jump for almost everything. This means you have to push a button twice to do most of the jumps.
-A lot of walking and backtracking.
-Not much personality.
-Face portraits are a bit ugly.
-Some savepoints are bad. For example the one when lava overflows, you jump your way up and you have to fight a boss with your HP at lows. (That's where I stopped playing).
Nice 2d platformer -and light metroidvania- game. It feels a bit unpolished but it works 100% , even achievements unlock perfectly -take a look at the guides. Medium difficulty but somewhat confusing instuctions, to the point i had to go through some online guides to avoid tedious backtracking. Enjoyable experience, though.
Good [8/10]
A neat little metroidvania style platformer with some sweet power ups and fun level design. The pixel art is well done and the game is dirty cheap. Look no further for fun on a budget!
Not too bad (for the low asking price), but the poor platforming quickly get's very anoying - e.g. you can bump your head when you get too close to a platform above you (cause their hitbox is too large). Why is describing your game as "retro style" so often used as a poor excuse for sloppy programming? Although there are quite a few save points in the game, their placement is often not logical. Perhaps for die hard fans of the genre this is all acceptable, I did not have fun and quit playing.
Pixel Art: 2.5/5 (But I still love it)
Immersion: 3.5/5
Gameplay: 4/5
Controls: 4/5 (Good controls)
Value: 5/5
Difficulty: 2/5...3.5/5
--------------
Overall 3.8 (Difficulty always excluded)
Please follow my Pixel Art Curation to discover other great games...
When I saw the pixel art I had a great feeling...I think I loved it the moment it started ;)
This is a very interesting little adventure platformer in space! Don't let the simple graphics deceive you. It is not a very hard game, but it is a quite satisfying platforming experience.
It has all the hallmarks, collecting different weapons, fighting bosses, travel to different worlds, even some understand action.
There are even little elements you don't find elsewhere, like the weapon kickback. The baddies seek you out, rather than all following simple patterns.
Light challenge and I do with the boss fights were a little harder, as the final boss difficulty curves way up in comparison...I think the only real issue is knowing where to go next is not always made clean, but that is the open nature of the game.
10 locations...12 weapons to collect...power ups! What for can you ask for at this price?!? When it is on sale, like Steam Winter Sale, you can get it super cheap ;)
ACHIEVEMENTS: Mostly straight forward with a few you have to pay attention to :) Don't skip the tutorial. Fighting final boss with basic weapon is only realy challenge.
Very good platformer/adventure game. The gameplay is nice, precise, and the oldschool graphics are well, old school, in a good way.
The only negative thing is the pad support. When playing it's allright, but it's very difficult to browse through the interface (inventory, weapons, etc)
The Good
- emphasis on exploration and a Metroid-esque world design (locations are inaccessible for plausible in-game reasons, like toxic gas in the air that requires you to obtain a filtering mask first, etc.)
- quite a bit of freedom to explore the world/galaxy at your own pace; planets can be travelled to fairly early on, and you're always free to ignore your main task in favor of a bit of off world exploration on the side
- pretty good music that complements the atmosphere
- mostly tight controls; the game's action is fairly fast paced and the controls are adequately responsive
- very reasonable difficulty curve and mostly well-placed save points
The Not So Good
- while most of the pixel art ranges from "servicable" (the characters) to "good" (the environments), the character portraits are downright hideous; it's a teeny, tiny gripe, but the asymmetrical, misshapen ugliness of them really stuck out; I don't know what went wrong there
- the game has a very slow and unrepresentatively railroaded beginning; I wouldn't be surprised if those first 5-10 minutes ended up turning many people away, as you get no sense of the freedom and the rewarding exploration that the game actually has to offer
- no Steam Cloud support
[*]the interface, especially your weapon overview, could have been designed a bit more ellegantly; when you pick up a new gun, you're required to open a menu and "activate" said weapon, so that you can then equip it via yet another weapon select button; while this allows for a certain level of customization of your "weapon queue", if you will, it still is a strangely cumbersome mechanic
Overall
Spaceport Hope is one of the better, more well-designed and generally more polished indie pixel platformers on Steam. It's a fun mix of conventional action platforming and exploration, and at a little under a dollar it certainly is well worth its price.
beat the game without having explored all the planets. Kinda wish the story sent me to them as exploring them after the fact was not as satisfying. Other than this...goo dgame
It just lacks the polish that would make it pleasurable to play. There's no map. People tell you things like "the MINES are across from the SUBWAY" and that doesn't help when you don't know where the subway is. I almost got stuck in the first level because in order to switch weapons, you need to press "g" to go into Guns, **select** the weapon you picked up, exit that screen, and then press "q" to scroll through weapons. That wasn't explained at all. The dialogue is awful. The items you pick up go entirely unexplained. Most enemy patterns are tedious (hit a robot, wait 5s for it to stop being invulnerable, hit again).
If you can handle a lack of polish, yeah, sure, the core mechanics are fine. But if you're looking for something special or exceptional, this isn't it
Spaceport Hope is a Metroidvania along the lines of Cave Story. The platforming is tight and precise, gun selection is satisfactory, even if the upgrades are more like keys to new areas rather than abilities. I like the simplistic sprite styles (even if the dialogue box art is rather horrific), and the bosses are well done.
It's a bargain-priced Metroidvania. While it's nothing incredible, it's definitely worth a shot for fans of the genre.
This game I seriously wanted to like. The backgrounds and music felt very nice and i enjoyed the aspect of exploration involved, but there is too much wrong with this game to defend it. From the numerous weapons you find in the game, I found myself using only the default one(infinite ammo and didnt even need to be reloaded) or the explosive weapon for the bosses.
The enemies could be described as frustrating. Many of the random mobs have abilities that make them invunerable for a time, forcing you to wait still and hope you can kill then in the next cycle. This invunerability in a lot of enemies cuts up so much of the gameplay and makes comnbat feel frustrating, especially if you're backtracking or farming money for the shop. The bosses fall into an extremely similar vein to regular mobs. You either have a ridiculously easy boss you just have to hold down fire to kill, or you have an invincible enemy that has a frustrating gimmick to deal with (the first boss on the spaceport needs you to time a switch perfectly to open up the weak spot, and you had to do it ~3 times). The expansive areas also feel really empty or confusing. At one time, i thought a seemingly innocuous pool of what I thought was water turned out to be deadly chemicals that killed my character.
The plot at times feels contrived or frustrating, such as the scene where the two guys in shades just up and walk past you after a quick boss fight, regardless of the fact that you could have shot them at any time. The sudden "aliens" twist felt obtuse as well, having not heard anything about them until then.
It's relaitively cheap price makes me not dislike the game as much as I feel I should, since I did manage to squeeze some enjoyment out of the game. If the game goes on sale, or if the developers fix it up some, I'd recommend it.
This is a solid little exploration platformer, an absolute steal at the current price ($1.99 US). While not the most deep or compelling Metroidvania as you can find in Axiom Verge or Environmental Station Alpha, there are several hours of very enjoyable gameplay here.
Strongly recommended to fans of the genre, and for anyone looking for a 2D adventure.
Spaceport Hope has an above average musical score for a pixelated side-scroller. This brings back memories of Commander Keen with some elements of Metroid. Spaceport Hope is an effective "old school" arcade platformer. There is a large array of weapons, though I found the initial gun to be more than sufficient for most fights--with the rocket launcher being the second most useful.
Some boss fights are keyed to make certain weapons more viable, however, once you see the patterning, as with all games of this sort, any weapon would be a contender.
My greatest critisism with the game relates to the final boss fight--you have no idea it is the final boss fight. This, for me, made it somewhat of a "meh" situation. I had been expecting, as I followed the story, that there would be "more to come". In reality, one does not need to fully explore all areas of the game to complete the primary story itself. This made for a final fight which was "unexpected" less in the difficulty and more in the realm of "hmmm was that the end of the game"?
I like the partially open ended exploration which is possible, however, I would have also prefered a greater emphasis on the final fight--to make it more memorable.
A secondary critisism would be the large array of weapons--rather the lack of necessity of their use. I played through this game to full completion using 3 weapons(as alluded to above), and of those, 2 were vs. secondary bosses with the starter gun my main gun the entire game. Although the starter gun is supposed to overheat, and there is a bar indicating such, I never noticed any real "cool down" required. Its dps was more than adequate for almost all encounters. The overheating aspect of the starter gun should be increased to afford more utility to other weapons.
Overall I enjoyed this title and would recommend it anytime you find it on sale.
I was pleasantly surprised by this indie game, to the point I wanted to reach the end, which is rare nowadays.
Spaceport Hope is a platformer shooter, some kind of Megaman in a very simple way. The music is really nice, the art is somehow personal (I almost felt a different tone in it, like some eastern country look or something?) and the world/narration/setting are all very nice and interesting to dive in.
Now hear me out, this game is far from perfect, it has a few flaws:
- no map (though it has some metroidish wannabe vibe)
- loose physics (the jump option is not sensitive)
- repetitive gameplay: contrarily to Megaman you only jump and shoot with no dash or powers, just different guns
- and an overall "rough" feel to it, as if the game had been rushed. Some characters undeveloped, some dialogues which could have been deeper, some level design which feels too approximate...
When you play and finish it, you could think it was intentionally made from A to W without any plan for X, Y or Z in the beginning. Or maybe it is just a first indie game by a couple of young devs with some inevitable amateurish finishing taste to it? if so it is good news! as it is a good start and I will be on the lookout for this studio's next works.
All in all, if you forgive its rough looks and its imperfections, Spaceport Hope is pleasant to play and only promises of potential great other games to come.
Alright, beat the game and unlocked all achievements - so that allows for a qualified review, here goes.
Spaceport Hope is a space-themed platformer, where you go to different planets (stages) to solve a case after a trade goes wrong.
On each planet there are different kinds of enemies, hidden weapons to unlock, different level design etc., though some planets are rather small compared to others.
It's a standard platformer, where you fight enemies, dodge traps, collect coins, buy items, unlock new weapons, fight bosses and so on. It's a well done platformer, with great variety in enemies, and a fine variety in platform/trap design. The graphics are also pretty good for a retro/pixel-style IMO.
It's a relaxing game, with a mediocre difficulty, however stages don't seem to get much harder, besides the bosses which overall are harder the further you progress. There are a total of 13 bosses, which are all unique and fun to fight. Sound effects are decent, and the music is actually pretty good and fitting for the stages.
Even though there are a lot of different guns you can play around with, you can still do fine with the default gun the entire game if you are skilled at dodging and learning enemy patterns, expect if there are several enemies at once, where other weapons will a better choice. Even so, in most situation there will be a weapon choice that makes the situation easier: beam is good for enemies that can't jump or shoot back, rockets are good for stationary enemies, the homing gun is good for flying etc., but you can also jump around while dodging and just spam the default gun.
There are some puzzles also, which needs to solved to unlock hidden items or sometimes progess the game, but the puzzles are quite simple so you should never get stuck on those.
The only slightly annoying things in the game are the inventory/shop system and finding the objectives. The shop items don't explain what they are for, and while the game tells you what your current objective is, it doesn't always tell you which direction to go, or which planet to look, which sometimes will require you to explore a bit, although you will be very likely to to find some items and collect coins in the meantime, so effort will never be wasted.
Overall it's a very well done platformer, admittedly nothing too special, but what's most important is that it's FUN and relaxing, not too easy and not too boring either, and for the very low prices I will definetely recommend this game if you want to play a short relaxed platformer.
I am rating it 7.5-8/10 on my personal scale.
Pros:
- Decent graphics
- Very good and fitting music, decent sounds
- Good level design, great variety in enemies and stage themes
- Lots of different guns to play around with
- Fun bosses
- Mediocre challenge will keep you from rage quitting or becoming bored
- Responsive and easy to use controls (I beat the game on keyboard)
Cons:
- The shop items and inventory the aren't explained
- Finding the objective can sometime be a bit difficulty, you often know where you shoud look, but the game doesn't show the names of the sub-areas on each planet.
- The story and dialogue are very simplistic, but that doesn't matter much, since you will be focused on the platforming
It's a fun metroidvania style action platformer. Plenty of planets to explore each with their own unique theme. Lots of different guns to pick up and use. Decent music and pixel art to go with it.
The story is rather weak, lots of generic dialogue and the plot is very basic. If I had to critisize one aspect, it would be that the game becomes very unclear as to where you should be going once you get close to the end of the game. There's a hint button built into the game, but it was no use. I had to look around on the internet to find out where to go next. Also, platforming can feel weird at first, there's some clipping that you'll need to get used to. You'll go to make a jump that looks clear and hit an invisible barrier, likely due to invisible pixels on the main character extending outward a little bit. Once you get used to it you don't notice it, but it might throw off a jump or two at the beginning.
Otherwise, it's absolutely worth the price paid. I got about 6 hours out of it. Looking forward to more from this team.
There's nothing spectacular here, but this is still a totally competent, cheap, and fun metroid-style game with a ton of bosses and guns, all of which are well done. I was satisfied with the amount of optional areas and secrets to uncover and felt the game was challenging enough to stay interesting. Sometimes it does lack a bit of direction to progress the storyline and the lack of an in-game map made two parts in particular more confusing than was neccessary. Still, I wouldn't expect a game coming from such a small team to be without some nitpicky flaws, and the developer is a class act in regards to fixing issues. It can be beaten in about 6 hours with every achievement and I think doing so was totally worthwhile. Definitely snatch it up the moment it hits a sale or bundle.
Spaceport Hope, from a development team of four, is an indie action-platformer stylized after 16-bit console titles of the 90s. The simple yet functional story puts you in the role of Cole, an interplanetary courier whose latest job takes an unexpected turn that results in an adventure of a lifetime for him.
At its heart, Spaceport Hope can be best described as a metroidvania. Yet it utilizes the adventure itself as its driving force rather than levelling up and collecting gear. As events unfold, your journey sees you travelling between the planets which are themed differently from one another as well as housing its own bunch of baddies. Even though Cole does not level up, exploration is rewarded in the form of HP upgrades and additional weapons, which is welcome since enemies take more than one hit to go down and healing is only possible through the use of checkpoints.
Thus the gameplay revolves around going after your current objective and figuring out how to overcome your enemies efficiently. Alongside a few puzzles here and there, most of the areas have classic platforming hazards to mind too. It is possible to form a weapon set of ones own out of the twelve available to collect, which share three types of ammo. All weapons are prone to overheating, which is to be taken into consideration when tackling the situation at hand. Thankfully, the arsenal itself is varied and every gun has a use and strategy of its own, adding enough depth and fun to the combat which might otherwise be repetitive.
Visuals wise, the game is simply pretty. All the work of a single artist, Spaceport Hope offers elegant pixel art and makes sure every visual element, be it a character sprite or a small detail like a GUI icon, works within the overall thematic vision. The chiptune soundtrack backs up the visual representation of the planets perfectly, with tracks ranging from melancholic to suspenseful in feel. Technically, it was a bug-free ride for me and the native support on offer for the Logitech controller I use made the experience even more smooth. As a sidenote, the graphical bugs I encountered and reported were fixed by the developer in a day's time.
All in all, teambitclub's first title ends up as an accomplishment. If you like metroidvanias with an adventurous feel, or even 2D platforming in general, Spaceport Hope is here for an enjoyable as well as highly nostalgic 8-hour ride.
This is a fun game, with a good atmosphere, tight controls and a good variety of smart-ish enemies.
There is a story to follow but you are free to take your ship to one of several planets and explore. Some of them require a certain item that you must find or buy first to be able to safely go there.
There is no controller support, which is unfortunate for a game like this. It does work fine with xpadder.
You start with a hand gun with unlimited ammo (although it does overheat and you have to wait a few seconds for it to cool off). I found another weapon about 10 minutes in to it. After 4 hours i have 4 weapons.
The enemies are not the standard 1-2 hits to kill. They (and you) have HP, not hearts. Some of the early enemies are taking many hits to kill (you can't see their HP.) The enemies do have simple AI and do more than walk back and forth.
Given that a screen with 3-5 enemies can take a little while to kill, the checkpoints seem a bit far apart for my tastes, but I'm not very patient with redoing content.
Because of the distance of the checkpoints, for me at least, the fast action seen in the store page video is just not realistic. You can't jump around getting hit as much as the video shows without constantly running back to the last checkpoint to get healed. It could get faster paced once I find more weapons, but so far it is more of a careful crawl to make sure I survive to the next checkpoint. This is especially true when you also have to go through a long series of spikes and moving blocks.
The checkpoints are my only real complaint about the game. It might be better if the enemies dropped some form of HP.
The bosses are on the easy side.
Once you get a ways in to it, there is a suprisingly large variety of enemies, most of them unique in one way or another.
Overall it's a pretty nice game, and worth the price.
Edit: I finished the game in just under 7 hours. The checkpoint spacing was not as bad as it seemed early on. They are a bit sparse in the beginning areas.
The bosses remained fairly easy all the way to the end. The final boss took me three tries, and I was one hit away from doing it in two tries. No boss took more than three tries. About half of them I killed on the first attempt, and I'm not especially good at boss fights.
