【Blind Run】【60hz】The name seems to fit the product a bit too well on this one.

This game has no guidance, a confusing button layout, and plays about as well as Sonic on a bar of soap. It dwells way too long on its basic premise, and you get that manual boost no earlier than about half an hour (of fumbling) in. That's way too late for something I was direly wishing for about 2 minutes after the start.

Doesn't help that the presentation loses itself in useless world-building and the music is unfitting to underwhelming, all while the dev time would have been so much more needed at every other aspect of this game, like, first and foremost: "should we even charge money for a clunky mess like this?".

I don't even remember where I got this one, probably from a Humble Bundle, but seriously? Games like these shouldn't be put on Steam. Some sort of free hosting platform for amateur projects would be better fit for it.

All in all, if you like what you see here, by all means. Though, there are hundreds of better games out there than this unfocused mess.
