    40 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

  • gameplay
    28 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of Velocibox is characterized by its fast-paced, simple mechanics that are easy to grasp but challenging to master, reminiscent of titles like Super Hexagon. While the core loop can feel bland and lacks depth, the gravity-flipping mechanic adds a unique twist, creating a chaotic yet addictive experience that encourages players to improve their skills. Overall, the game offers solid execution and slick visuals, appealing to fans of twitch gameplay despite some criticisms regarding its simplicity.

    • “Fast paced, challenging gameplay, and good graphics.”
    • “The simple design draws focus towards gameplay, even impressing spectators (especially if the player can gracefully navigate the hectic barricades set before them).”
    • “This is the definition of 'one more try!' gameplay, like some kind of super addictive fusion of Super Hexagon and the usual avoid-em-up action of an endless runner, the gameplay is super easy to get into but quickly ramps up into pure chaos making mastering the game a serious challenge.”
    • “While the game handles more or less decently in terms of gamepad support, engine and level design, the core gameplay loop is just very bland.”
    • “Unfortunately, the gameplay in Velocibox is extremely simple and there's little reward for getting better and progressing further in the game.”
    • “The inversion when flipping mechanic is one heck of a gameplay they were lax about.”
  • graphics

    The game is noted for its high replayability, making it an excellent choice for quick gaming sessions. However, players may need exceptional reflexes and skills to fully enjoy the experience.
