forma.8 GO

I quickly got frustrated with the on-screen controls, so I pulled out my Xbox controller in hopes that it would help. A little, but not enough to make it playable.

Very pretty game, but it's extremely difficult to control the movement of the character with the necessary precision and speed on a touchscreen, especially limited to left hand and having the game set up so its your left thumb doing to movement control. Some of the puzzles require fast and accurate flying within a time limit which is just about impossible on an iPad. This is one of many games that should have a free test game with samples of the different types of controls and such, or it should offer a refund.

I made it to “the end?” on an ipad with no cheats in two days, so it’s not too difficult. The puzzles and bosses are creative and varied. The scenery is beautiful. Most of the puzzles I think are optional. At least you can go somewhere else if you get stuck on one puzzle. I wish the controls were a little more responsive.. I hated the energy swarm (but still defeated it).

Is this supposed to be fun and immersive? Your controls on this game are terrible. The drone is so slow moving, slow turning, slow response. You can’t make a metroidvania and then give it terrible controls. Original Metroid on NES has much better controls than this. How can you go back in time ????

Had it for a week now. To hard to control the movements of Character

I guess in a sense this has a Metroid-Vania root, but after a while I just got a bit bored. Its not a bad game, and its not complicated, but I feel its a bit boring. Its absolutely gorgeous to look at, and obviously a lot of time and effort was put into it. My over all take was this: Youre a floating robot, floating around inside this planet, blowing stuff up. You dodge lava and a few obstacles, float here and there and do the thing... Slowly. Im not sure the point, or the story and maybe for some thats cool, but for me I need a bit less open endedness. Even games like Ico and Shadow of the Colusus, or even Brightridge have a bit more of a point in directive -- even if that directive is "look around and enjoy". Its pretty, its slow, its kind of interesting... but not interesting enough for me to keep on my mobile. Thanks for the offering!

I love this game and it is a great metrovania! The art style and the ambiance is very neat. I recommend this game if you like Metroidvania's :D

forma.8 is a really great game! The art style is amazing, and the gameplay is fun. I’m only 37.5% through the game according to the game, and it’s managed to leave me stumped on how to solve a puzzle several times. The touchscreen controls can also be awful at times. It’s a really fun game, but the fact that it’s on a touchscreen can really interfere with the gameplay. The first part of the game that really confused me was the shielded spider that you need to kill to progress. It’s in the first cave system, and it took me about twenty minutes to discover I could launch the little bomb upgrade at it. The bomb aiming is broken. It’s impossible to aim accurately which makes the corrupted forma boss insanely frustrating! The game gives you a world map that slowly gets bigger and bigger, and progression gets tedious. Having to go back and forth around the massive game world can get boring and time consuming after the fifth time passing through an area.Even after complaining about the problems so much, there’s just something about this game that keeps me playing. Most of the puzzles are solvable, and the game has this underlying mystery that I just NEED to solve! Sure every fifth puzzle is unsolvable, but this game is fun! It’s enjoyable.
