Finally made it to the top of the tower! After meeting with the Tower Man, I was given two choices. My choice: goodbye absinthe! However, I am still curious to see what would happen if I take another sip...

A step closer to the tower and a theory popped in my head. I was starting to think that Robot is being controlled by this Tower Man. And then I met with Robot again. I learned more things from him and from myself. Heh, you'll see what I mean.

I got a feeling this robot is hiding something...but what if he's telling the truth. Either way, we need to be sure. Also, ever since I saw the big fish pass by as I'm jumping from one meatball to another, it makes me want to watch "Big Fish". You know, the movie.

Another game I've been eyeing on for a while! And I think I picked the right time to try it out. I mean, after playing a handful of jumpy horror games, it feels nice to jump into something that seems vivid and relax. But aside those, it is as strange as a robot that likes lamps!

Spate Review

Developer:  Eric Provan - Ayyo Games Publisher: Ayyo Games Review Platform: PC (Steam) Release Date: March 27, 2014

Spate, a story-driven platformer available on PC, is one of the most unique and enjoyable videogames I’ve ever played. And I don’t say that lightly.

In Spate, you play as a detective searching for a wealthy businessman; your daughter is dead, your wife has left you, and your addiction to absinthe has caused your mind to seep into madness. You begin your search for the businessman in the Xzone, an island that once flourished but has since twisted. Your journey from here on is unforgettable.

Those familiar with platformers will feel right at home with Spate. Those who aren’t will catch on quickly.

Spate controls and at times even feels like a traditional platformer; you can jump, duck and run from side-to-side. You’ll spend a lot of time jumping from platform to platform and avoiding pitfalls and obstacles. All of this works great with the controls perfectly tuned. But, what really makes the experience so intriguing and thoroughly enjoyable is the world around you.

The game’s environments are gorgeous, and the art style is phenomenal. The game’s intense use of backgrounds, which oftentimes toys with the mind, is excellent. The variety and uniqueness of the game’s world is truly a joy to encounter.

Spate is filled with unique environments.

In addition to the wonderful world you’ll be exploring, the game’s story will push you forward and keep you intrigued. The narration is well written and impressively voice acted, and the soundtrack is bold and absolutely fitting. The game is short, coming in at just under two hours, but the experience feels complete, and it is well worth the $9.99 price tag.

Spate is a game best played when you know as little about its world as possible, so I’ll keep this review short. If you go in fresh, it’s likely to excite you at almost every turn. Its beautifully twisted world, engaging gameplay and touching story make it something that shouldn’t be missed.
