Crash landing on dance club planet / Lets Play Downfall Planet
6Developed by Cousin Catnip, “Downfall Planet” sells the simple tale of an austronaut who crashlands on a planet, gives it the uninspired but quite logical name “Downfall Planet” and then activates 5 randomly set up beacons that look like arcade games to activate a helping signal and get off the planet before something sinister happens.
Apparently this is a specific game type, the usual “pick/find a number of things, evade some baddies and get a short ending sequence”. I did NOT finish it because I somehow completely the missed the probably quite obvious way to the rescue beacon and after three tries and a lot of dance music I was not in the mood anymore to try any further, sorry.
I also am not sure about the music choice. I think the idea is quite cool to have audio cues after each activated beacon but the music choice was a tad jarring since club music and being scared to death on a not quite deserted planet does not mix (in my book). What do you think?
