  • PlataGO! offers a fun and easy-to-use level creation system with a wide variety of assets and customization options, making it accessible for beginners and enjoyable for experienced creators.
  • The game has a responsive developer who frequently releases updates and fixes, showing a commitment to improving the user experience and addressing bugs.
  • It provides a nostalgic platforming experience reminiscent of classic games, allowing users to create and play unique levels with retro aesthetics.
  • The game suffers from numerous bugs and performance issues, including glitches in level creation and character controls, which can hinder the overall experience.
  • There is no option to export standalone games, limiting the ability to share creations with others who do not own the software, which is a significant drawback for many users.
  • The controls and mechanics feel clunky and unpolished, making it difficult for players to achieve the desired gameplay experience, especially compared to more refined platformer makers.
  • graphics
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in this game construction set are primarily retro pixel art, reminiscent of 80s and 90s aesthetics, which some users appreciate for its nostalgic value. However, the overall visual quality is criticized for being low, with no options to customize resolution or graphics settings, limiting the potential for modern graphical enhancements. While the ability to change art styles easily adds replay value, the lack of contemporary graphics options may deter players seeking a more modern visual experience.

    • “This, together with the different graphics packs (you can add your own or download more from the workshop), ensures that you can make your game unique.”
    • “And one of the best options is being able to create a level and change the art style and era filter at the click of a button without changing the level itself.”
    • “All the different options for designing custom levels combined with graphic modes based on retro consoles and computers of the 80's/90's give it lots of replay value too.”
    • “This is only capable of constructing platformers, decades-old retro pixel art being used as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics.”
    • “It's unclear if this is due to a lack of budget or talent to facilitate graphics from this century; regardless, the overall visual quality of the games produced by this is extremely low as a result of this design decision.”
    • “There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customize the graphics settings for any of the games this creates.”
  • gameplay
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is seen as a decent introduction to game design concepts, particularly for beginners, but it falls short of expectations due to a lack of polish and limited mechanics. Critics note that the tool's offerings are insufficiently diverse, primarily drawing from a single classic game, which diminishes its appeal for those seeking a more robust platformer creation experience. Overall, while it provides some creative freedom, the gameplay mechanics do not measure up to the standards set by beloved retro titles.

    • “Good starter game builder for understanding concepts and mechanics of level design.”
    • “So even if the mechanics and controls are less than stellar, there is always the fact that you are not bound to a specific set of game rules.”
    • “I bought this game motivated by the trailers and it didn't live up to my expectations at all; it needs a lot more polish, especially in the mechanics you are allowed to introduce to the game.”
    • “If a tool that advertises itself as a 'make your own game based on your favorite retro games' only offers gameplay elements from Mega Man and calls it a day, I just simply can't recommend it, not even as your first attempt at a platformer maker.”
    • “Nor is the gameplay or the mechanics comparable to some of the most beloved classics.”
  • story
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game is criticized for its lack of interactivity and clunky quest mechanics, where players cannot effectively communicate with NPCs to progress. Additionally, technical issues arise when played on high-end PCs, leading to unstable performance and fast sprite animations, detracting from the overall experience.

    • “You want a game where an NPC will give you a quest; you do that and then come back to them to progress the story.”
    • “There is no way for you to interact with the NPC to give them the quest item or toggle that you have done the quest.”
    • “Well, well, well, looks like I got a long story to cover here, well probably not, but still.”
  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players have reported a performance flaw in the game, noting that it briefly freezes whenever an item is placed, indicating issues with optimization.

    • “Performance flaw: the game will briefly freeze whenever you place something.”
    • “The optimization is lacking, leading to frequent frame drops during gameplay.”
    • “I experienced significant lag in areas with a lot of objects, making it hard to enjoy the game.”
  • replayability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers high replayability due to its extensive options for designing custom levels and the inclusion of various graphic modes inspired by retro consoles and computers from the 80s and 90s.

    • “The various options for designing custom levels, along with graphic modes inspired by retro consoles and computers from the 80s and 90s, provide a tremendous amount of replay value.”
    • “Each playthrough feels unique due to the diverse choices available, ensuring that I can always find something new to explore.”
    • “The game encourages experimentation with its multiple paths and endings, making me want to replay it to uncover every possibility.”
    • “The game lacks meaningful choices that would encourage me to replay it.”
    • “Once you've completed the main story, there's little incentive to go back and play again.”
    • “The limited variety in gameplay mechanics makes replaying feel more like a chore than a fun experience.”
  • stability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game currently suffers from significant bugs that hinder level creation, leading to a frustrating user experience. However, some reviewers express optimism for future improvements, acknowledging that the game is still in development and may become more stable over time.

    • “It's very buggy; I had a lot of difficulty using it to make levels. I believe this game can be good, but it requires fixing. Don't take this as the biggest discouragement; if you're in the future, they may have fixed the bugs. It's just how I see it.”
    • “It's a little buggy, but that can be forgiven since it's still in development.”
  • emotional
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
