    Super Ember Kaboom delivers fast-paced, engaging gameplay reminiscent of classic platformers like Mario and Sonic, featuring smooth mechanics and vibrant visuals.

    • “It keeps you on your toes with its fast and furious gameplay and is very cute and engaging.”
    • “The different abilities are quite fun to use and everything feels good mechanically, and the sprite work and variety is really cool; I can tell a lot of work went into this.”
    • “While enjoyable, Super Ember Kaboom leaves room for improvement in balancing its narrative and gameplay elements for a more cohesive experience.”
    • “It doesn’t do anything annoying gameplay-wise, but some of the levels can be same-y.”
    • “They have different effects, but the game doesn't do the Super Mario thing where they introduce a power-up with a specific mechanic, and then design levels around that mechanic.”

  • story
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story in the game is generally viewed as basic and somewhat forced, with players feeling it detracts from the gameplay's pace. While it provides a framework for the action, the lack of character identification in dialogue can lead to confusion. Additionally, the post-story content requires perfecting levels, which may not motivate players due to the story's conclusion.

    • “The story was incredibly basic, but it’s nice to have a semblance of a story to gel the gameplay together.”
    • “My major issue is the lack of names on the chat bubbles that tell the story and would recommend them as it can be hard to know who is talking sometimes; maybe even different chat colors for them would help, but this isn't a game breaker in the least.”
    • “After you have completed the story, there is a further level to be unlocked which seems to require that you perfect every level, but I’m not quite sure what it is, and because the story had ended, I didn’t attempt this; perhaps if achievements were added I might feel motivated to try!”
    • “While the controls are tight and responsive, the story feels shoehorned in, detracting from the game's swift tempo.”
    • “At the end of each level there is a boss fight, and the ultimate showdown at the end of the story, which is hidden behind a paywall of diamonds.”
    • “My major issue is the lack of names on the chat bubbles that tell the story, and I would recommend adding them as it can be hard to know who is talking sometimes. Maybe even different chat colors for them would help, but this isn't a game breaker in the least.”
