Critic Reviews for Aaru's Awakening
Beautiful and creative, but controls and design issues often drag it from challenging to frustrating.
Despite some good ideas and a cool art style, Aaru's Awakening falls short of being a dream platformer.
If you can retrain your brain to these unorthodox controls, Aaru's Awakening offers some fun platforming moments
A fine game which presents a grueling challenge, Aaru's Awakening is perfect for the player who thinks 2D platform games today just aren't difficult enough.
I loved the art style of Aaru's Awakening, I loved the story premise it had, and I loved teleporting. I did not love the rest of the gameplay decisions along the way.
Aaru's Awakening is a beautiful frolic into a world of nightmares and imbalance: championed by its hand-drawn art style, compulsive level of difficulty and thrilling sense of achievement.
Lumenox's first game is a treat for the eyes, but a clunky and often frustrating teleportation system weighs down the experience.
