It's a tough puzzle platformer, taking the player back to the times when it wasn't a crime if you had to practice a scene before completing it.The visuals and the music are OK, but in a game like this, the controls are everything. Now, I'm the guy who \u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665es about controls in four out of five platformer reviews, but I can't find any flaw with these ones - they're snappy, consistent and well designed. Also, I see people complaining about the lack of ability to change controls - you can't change them in-game, but you can do that on the Unity launch screen, just select the 'input' tab.All in all, Eron is a tough and brilliant game, and I applaud its creators. It's no casual game, so it's definitely not for everyone, but I can recommend it to anyone who likes a challenge and doesn't mind his\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665whipped every once on a while :)Update: I got to the last level, and my initial impression fully holds. This game is a gem.. A really good platforming game with a twist. You are introduced to many fun mechanics in this atmospheric platformer. Athough it doesn't have a thorough story or tutorial, the gameplay and design is amazing. This game doesn't need a story to back itself up and the mechanics introduced to you are pretty self-explanitory after a death or two. Also, the soundtrack is awesome, too bad there isn't a soundtrack you can buy. Totally worth the price, especially for 1.99.10\/10. Eron is a 2d-sidecrolling pixel art masocore platformer in which you play as a tribesman who wishes to achieve his quest of destroying the aliens that have invaded his world and destroyed his villiage.Eron has a pretty interesting concept in which you "shift" through 2 parallel worlds in order to land on platforms which are scattered along these 2 worlds. Landing on these platforms might sound easy, but you need to be precise, co-ordinated and quick with your shifting. You are thrown into the game without any instructions, which I found to be a plus point. Considering that this game was meant to be a difficult platformer, being thrown into, blank, adds to the difficulty. No idea how to do what, take time figuring out and getting used to the controls, I found that to be a plus point in terms of difficulty.The level design is quite good. The puzzles were pretty challenging but not as much as I thought them to be. After you've caught on to what's going on and actually focus, they turn out to be quite simple. Of course, you learn through trial and error.As you progress through the levels, you encounter spheres that you need to destroy and explosive ones that you have to evade. Shifiting worlds saves you from the explosions caused by the explosive ones. You have to be really quick in shifting in and out as majority of the time, platforms underneath you shift as well. Won't be saying more, "puzzle" eh?The story has really no effect. It's just basically another level that drags on until you finish it. That's kind of the main problem, there's no "motivation" to play further on other than just finishing the game. The art style was cool and all, but not as much that would push me further to see what the game brings on in the next level other than a different puzzle.The jump mechanic is kind of weird, once you stop in mid air, you're just going to fall down no matter what. You can't do anything to change that outcome. In a way, it's a good addition to the difficulty but also quite an annoyance.The shifting mechanic sometimes just breaks, randomly, there's no going back. You have to die to start back at the beginning of the level to get it working again. It's quite irksome to have to do the entire thing again and it not being your fault. Pretty cool if it gets fixed.The soundtrack is pretty retro and quite catchy. Does suit the atmosphere of the game, but after a while, it gets really, really repetitive. Not the type of repetitive that would be fun to hear to, though.Overall, considering the up and downs of this game and its price, I'd recommend it.. Eron is a 2D side-scrolling platform game, published by Red Splat Games, in which you play as a local tribesman on a quest to stop an invading race of aliens who have destroyed your home village. It relies heavily on reflexes to navigate in between two separate layers of the game world. Fair warning, be prepared to die. A lot.Don\u2019t let that dissuade you from playing this game though, as it is immensely satisfying when you do finally get the hang of the controls and are able to progress past whatever particular obstacle is hindering your progress. Although I would also recommend playing on a controller, if you have access to one, as it was clearly designed to be played this way and requires quick reflexes to switch back and forth in-between layers. That\u2019s not to say that it is impossible to play on a keyboard, but due to a lack of button mapping options, you will be stuck with the default keyboard layout which is probably not the most efficient setup. The level design is incredibly well balanced, with each level being just long enough that it can be completed in around a minute, which is rather handy, considering how often you are likely to die before you manage to master the techniques required to pass each challenge. This in turn means that you can be back to where you were in anywhere between a matter of seconds to just a minute or two. The difficulty increases fairly across each level, adding a new element of danger to the ones found in preceding levels. The only real issue I have with level design is the large, red and black balls that you have to destroy in order to progress through the level. It\u2019s not eliminating them that is the issue, but the sensitivity of them; you must be almost directly in the middle to destroy them, so phasing into them at the edges will cause you to just pass through them without destroying them. There is also a point where you must clear a rather large chasm by jumping into one and using it as a booster for your jump. However this technique is not explained at all in-game, and so can be a little confusing to pass until you figure it out for yourself. The graphics are simple and effective, although I personally believe a little more work could be done to the main character, as well as differentiating between the large black and red balls that you need to destroy in order to progress through most levels, and the smaller, but identical balls that will kill you on contact. However it is the nostalgia inducing 16-bit music that really sells this game for me, with each level having its own distinctive style that fits beautifully within the game. For only $1.49, this game is worth every cent, and provides a solid and challenging platforming experience.. Physics engine has several issues that make the game approach unplayable, especially when coupled with the almost pixel perfect nature of certain game elements.

Eron is a 2D pixel art Indie game with great visuals and music.The whole feel of the game is very appealing, combining modern pixel art, such as we've seen in games like Risk of Rain and Superbrothers: Sword & Sorcery, with soothing chiptune soundtrack that i would really like to own on a CD. Sharp colors combined with music that complements the visuals immensely make the aesthetic value of the game worth so much more than the small amount of $1.49 that i paid for the game.The story is apparently about a tribesman on the planet Eron who uses his ability to switch between 2 parallel worlds to combat aliens that have invaded this realm. The world switching mechanic is a pretty sweet concept and not something i've seen in many other games and it's applied here so beautifully taht in a matter of minutes it becomes second nature and the game starts to very fluid.The controls are simple and few buttons are in use, but as the game is intended for controller use, there's no option for button mapping, which would be great to have. But if you do have a controller then the game controls just beautifully and is very smooth and the only thing i have to complain about it is that many of the platforms are placed so far away that you need to go to the absolute edge to reach it and it's not easy to time it correctly which makes me think that this is just a gimmick to elongate the gameplay.I for one wholeheartedly recommend this game, especially since it has such a low price. If you like platformers that are challenging but fun, then you should find this game a good buy.. One of the hardest and most rewarding games I have ever played. 9\/10So good. YES, It is incredibly frustrating. YES, it almost made me rip out my hair... but the feeling of satisfaction after FINALLY beating a level that kicked my\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665so many times is so worth it.If you like freakishly difficult games this is for you. A word of wisdom = there is ALWAYS a way to beat a seemingly impossible level.Don't listen to the negative reviews. They're just from losers who couldn't beat the game.. Really good game, Had some pratice on my friends account but had to download and finish it on mine. Havent played a challanging game like this in a long time. Worth the money over and over. Super rewarding when you finish it.. Eron Review - Raymond KTThis visually pleasing puzzle platformer wastes no time in restarting you at checkpoints, as you hit your head on the various level design flaws using quirky controls. Eron is a game that looks phenomenal at a glance. Great art, beautiful music, a fun sort of flow to the running\/jumping\/dimension shifting gameplay. Yeah, not recommended. It\u2019s hard, very hard without mercy. Not as hard as games like Dark Souls but still not an easy one.
