NEAVE

'NEAVE' is obviously inspired from 'Refunct,' both operate in a similar matter while still being different.
In Refunct you go through pushing buttons to bring color to platforms and to expand the overall world you're in while in NEAVE you are grabbing cubes to change platform sections of the world. Refunct is also a lot faster when it comes to getting buttons as it's more linear when it expands as NEAVE is slower as it allows you to capture the cubes in any order.
Refunct controls better overall being pretty precise, but I notice NEAVE gives you way more acceleration going forward meaning you can and will certainly miss a few jumps. NEAVE has wallrunning which sounds good in theory until you actually play the game where you will just randomly lock on to walls without meaning to and again this also have acceleration launching you sideways again meaning you can and will miss platforms. There is sliding in NEAVE, but it's kinda useless, it gives you a very tiny speed boost, but since you can't immediately jump out of it, well, you're not gonna use it.
Also if you're playing a Linux like I am there is a Native port, but I wasn't able to test it as turning on VSYNC will automatically crash the game every time you start it up. It might actually work without this if you don't tick the option, but I had to rely on Proton here.
Yes I compared the game to Refunct, it's inspired from it so you obviously got to go head-to-head in areas and while it's not as good, not even matching Refunct, it still is a great little title to run through if you are like me and wanted more Refunct action. I'm hoping that NEAVE 2 fixes some things with just fine tuning the main mechanics, but I will certainly be buying it at some point.
