Raven’s Hike

Nice game. Feels like an alternative to Sokoban and deserves more attention.
A precision platformer with 5 worlds and several levels in each. The maps aren’t big, to open the exit gate you need to travel back and forth collecting gems while avoiding spikes, cloud monsters, and later on, moving spike boxes.
The most distinctive mechanic is the lasso, which you use to reach different areas. With good control, you can practically fly around the map. It takes some time to master because the lasso accelerates, making longer trips harder to control midway. Fortunately, you can use the environment to help: bricks as stoppers and slow your fall, platforms give you a quick rest before firing the lasso again. The game starts out easy then gradually becomes difficult, especially once the pink spike boxes appear. They constantly follow your path, leaving you little time to think and forcing you to keep moving.
I enjoyed this game very much. It’s hard, but not ridiculous. The only place I found almost impossible was in the final world, where two horizontally moving shuriken obstacles left me almost no room to pass. The rest of the game is manageable, and fun. My skills improved quickly, after beating the game, looking back, the first two worlds felt almost too easy.
One drawback is that you can’t select individual levels. Once you pass a level, you can only replay it by starting another playthrough.
Overall, great game. If the developer added speed settings, I think more players would be willing to try.

A unique implementation of turn-based-ish platformer. Small cute game that is a bit rough around the edges, but is still enjoyable to play. I don't like how the developer limits levels to be one-screen only, but I think that there were reasons behind that (a possibility of infinite movement for example).
I want more.
