Balan Wonderworld Improv. #1
Heya guys! I got Balan Wonderworld for my Nintendo Switch.
I know what some of you would probably say something like:
'Why did you buy that dumpster fire of a game?' 'Are you crazy?'
My response to that is you guys haven't seen the work put into this game at all.
From the little bit I've played so far, I can see Balan Company put a lot of effort and hardwork into this game. The designs of the characters, levels and worlds are proof of that.
Also, this game seems rushed but not for the reason you guys actually think. Square Enix, the ones paying Balan Company for this project, had cut the budget for Balan Wonderworld in mid-development. They couldn't even delay the game without proper permission from Square Enix either.
In fact, Balan Company made a book just to include the story they couldn't into the game because of those issues.
Sure, the game has some kinks but the company did all they could to put in what they had and actually make it playable.
In fact, I think there is a chance for them to patch these errors but also add the content they couldn't include for the release.
The bugs I've encountered so far are a camera glitch and the Bubble Blower costume.
The camera glitch occurs if you get too close to a wall or corner and makes it harder to reset it. This is actually a pretty common glitch in a lot of games, trust me, I've seen it in around 20 different titles.
The Bubble Blower costume glitch is when I tried to make a bubble to move to a different platform. It wouldn't create the bubble when I wanted to and I died a few times because of it.
These glitches can fixed with a simple patch.
For actual improvements, here's what I got.
Option to fight the boss. Beating the 2nd Act throws the player straight into the boss immediately. I think they should have the option to choose whether to go in or not if they don't feel confident about their skills just yet.
Modify controls. Delegating nearly every action except costume change to one button can be quite annoying for people. Especially since certain costumes lose their jumping ability to it.
Added audio options and subtitles. Apparently different console versions not only had subtitles but even choices for audio. Try to add those features in for the Switch since it lacks those.
Fighting Style Requirements. List the requirements for each Fighting Style to 100 percent a boss.
If any of the game devs for Balan Company sees this, I hope it helps. There's going to be a few more as continue playing.
Until next time folks!
