This is a very interesting game, but why the game always lunches in Chinese? is there any way to turn it back to English?
You can softlock on the last boss if you somehow end up with less than 3 heart boxes to destroy on the final phase. Had to look up a lets play to see that the boss should have died when all the boxes were destroyed. Otherwise, excellent.
That's too bad, we never caught that apparently. I'll look into it. Thanks for the report, and glad you liked the game :) What happened to stacie orrico.
Jump & Run with a very interesting setting. You are a robot that lost its home due to an unfortunate incident and are on the way to request a replacement for your home with the respective agency. As you can freely stick to any surface, the level design offers unique platforming possibilities. The game has a distinct art style and seems simple enough at first, but quickly adds a new mechanic to change between two modes to avoid respective damage types. Those mechanics arent new, but the game iterates smartly on them. 3,5/5

Alright guys, it's time to get on the trail, the Rusty Trails that is!
On Rusty Trails is a fast-paced 2D platformer. You play as Elvis, a small red triangular robot who loses his house after a big green globby thing destroys it during a storm. Thankfully, he's still got the warranty for his house, so he sets off to the refund office to set things right!
This is one of those tight responsive platformers that will put your reflexes through their paces. Elvis is kind of like a agile little flea, jumping quickly and nimbly from surface to surface he's incredibly responsive and satisfying to control!

On Rusty Trails On Kiawah Island
And he also magnetically attaches to any surface he touches, so he can walk upside down or up walls. But things start to get tricky once he stumbles across a race of water monster things who like to hang out on blue surfaces.
DARREN
Affirmative, and clearly the blue guys and the red robots don't like to share their things, as their surfaces are magnetically repelled from each other, they try to land on a blue surface and it will disappears out from under you! Ooh-er!
BAJO
But Elvis soon stumbles across a blue suit that he can quickly switch into and pass for one of the blue guys, so he can use their surfaces. So the game is basically all about switching between red and blue forms, usually in mid-air, to make sure you can land safely.
HEX
And they constantly ramp up the challenge. First you'll find waterfalls and rain clouds that you can't pass through when you're red, these laser-lava-ry things you can't go through when you're blue show up, then there's big green blobs that you can't touch at all.

BAJO
What did you guys think of the story?
HEX
Well it's quite minimal, with only a few little cut scenes. But even so, they've managed to cram in a fairly touching little tale here with some cute characters and it deals with some surprisingly deep themes of conflict and outsiders not being welcome.
DARREN
I just liked that it was mostly about Robots.
BAJO
On Rusty Trails Near Me
You love any game with Robots DARREN. I feel like you're biased towards robot based games. This was tough but it's fun and also, it's got a bit of heart. So I'm giving it 3.5 out of ten rubber chickens.

Yeah, I think this is a good game. They play with the switching mechanic really well, and it's a satisfying challenge to conquer. So I'm giving it 3.5 rubber chickens as well.
