Planet ALPHA Switch NSP Free Download Unfitgirl There are so many games out there that wear their inspirations proudly, pinned to their breast like a badge of the highest honour. For some, it ends up showing just how lacking their imitation ultimately is (take Fall of Light: Darkest Edition’s love for Dark Souls, for instance), but for a select few that obvious love letter serves as a springboard for something enchanting in its own right. Planet Alpha falls so comfortably into the latter category it’s impossible to not be swept up in its 2.5D puzzle-platforming and vibrant extraterrestrial backdrop. You can see the games that have left their impact on Planet Alpha’s Danish developer. The sense of wonder at exploring a foreign setting of Another World. The creative solutions to environmental puzzles of Abe’s Odyssey. The occasional need for stealth to evade a seemingly unstoppable antagonist, a la Inside. The tension and suspense of Pitfall. But none of these creative nods ever feel derivative because this is a game that takes familiar elements and weaves them into something fresh and exciting. As a humanoid astronaut, you awake on a strange new planet filled with an ecosystem of alien beasts of all shapes and sizes. Giant colourful flowers bloom in the foreground while massive structures expand and glow as day passes into night, and back again. Ferns and bushes glitter with a beguiling effervescence as you pass by, with creatures of every colour scurrying in your wake. Unfitgirl.COM SEXY GAMES

It’s a world you know almost nothing about – and one utterly devoid of dialogue or explanation – but you instantly want to keep exploring. The art style – which uses bold colours on low-poly models – works brilliantly thanks to a clever use of shadow, lighting and a camera that alternates smoothly between watching from a distance and swooping up close as you navigate through countless new places. Giant dinosaur-like creatures lean into view from the background and butterfly-esque oddities pirouette to safety like otherworldly spinning tops. There are plenty of beasts native to this world that aren’t so friendly (including one giant beastie you’ll encounter deep in the planet’s depths), but it’s the ones that have arrived in your wake that are the biggest threat. You see, an army of B-movie-style robots have touched down and they’ll atomise you on sight as they attempt to take the planet by force. Without any normal means of fighting back, you’ll need to use the environment to sneak around them as they patrol both the foreground and background. Planet Alpha’s brand of platforming is relatively simple for the most part – you can grab ledges if you’re near enough, climb vines on the side of cliff faces and crouch to crawl through small gaps – but your intrepid avatar has enough of a floaty jump to ensure you can keep scaling obstacles while taking in every little detail the developer has crammed into the game’s ten chapters.

Like playing Limbo again

Momentum also plays an important part, with certain fauna that – when approached at the right time of day – will enable you to leap incredible distances. There’s also a handful of semi-hidden stages with a low gravity twist that require some serious platforming accuracy to navigate. It’s a mostly linear experience, although every now and then it isn’t always that obvious where you need to go next – mainly due to the over-reliance on shadows and darkness at times, and the use of multiple elements in the foreground – leading to some frustratingly unnecessary deaths. You can also move objects marked with a diamond shape to make rudimentary ledges to reach higher platforms, but that’s where the familiar mechanics end. Planet Alpha’s big ace up its vacuum-sealed sleeve is the ability to control the night and day cycle of this new and verdant realm. By holding ‘ZL’ and ‘ZR’ you can spin from morning to midday to evening to nightfall to sunrise, creating some of the most captivating vistas you can see on Switch right now. Being able to actively affect the time of day isn’t just some throwaway gimmick, either – it’s a fundamental part of how you interact and survive on Alpha Planet. From dynamic platforming formations to some subtle yet devilishly clever environmental puzzles, it helps elevate a platformer that would have just been memorable for its aesthetics and pace.

Cycling between different times of day will cause a flower to bloom in the light of the sun (ideal cover for sneaking) but retract at night. Some puzzles will require you to line up constellations or align floating planetary bodies to mimic a certain shape cleverly hinted at in the environment. And that’s just the surface. Sadly, those grander, more elaborate puzzles are a little too few and far between but your celestial manipulation still plays a huge role in the moment-to-moment gameplay, be it using scenery during stealth sections or creating rudimentary platforms when outrunning a giant foe at speed.Planet Alpha looks gorgeous running on Switch, and it’s only when certain character models get too close to the screen or things are moving a little too fast that you start to the rasterised edges standing out a little more clearly – we noticed this far less in handheld mode, but the game holds up really well in docked mode, too. There’s the occasional moment of slowdown, but these instances were so rare they never impacted our time on Alpha Planet. We did experience little glitches here and there – such as our explorer getting stuck on a cliff face while climbing or stopping to assume the outstretched arms of the ‘bind pose’ – but these minor imperfections do little to detract from the impressive ambitions it manages to achieve.

From the outset

Planet Alpha is purposefully vague about what is going on. Your unnamed protagonist, a non-entity in an unrevealing spacesuit, limps through a series of harsh environments during the game’s opening. After a minute, they stagger and collapse only to awake in a new area. The how and why of this event and everything that happens afterward never become important. This is a game of mystery and discovery where you’re never sure who you are, where you’re heading, or why you’re on this glorious, mysterious planet. Planet Alpha does not have answers to the questions you might have–it’s a sightseeing tour of a planet that feels truly alien, by way of a 2D puzzle platformer. The sights and locations you’ll see and explore are varied, with each of the game’s chapters taking you to a different environment. You move through catacombs, jungles, enormous architectural structures, and even across islands floating in the sky. There is beauty in every environment, but nothing beats the deep backgrounds of the game’s numerous outdoor sections, which teem with life and a sense of history. It’s clear that something has gone terribly wrong on the eponymous planet and watching it all unfold–occasionally becoming involved in incidents as they break out–is a pleasure. While you might leave without a clear idea of what just happened, there’s a coherency to Planet Alpha that suggests some deeply established lore. Love Cumedy

From its opening moments through to its closing credits, Planet Alpha is stunning. It’s the sort of game that dedicated screenshot buttons were made for–you feel like a tourist taking holiday snaps, only you’re coming home with pictures of giant squid-aliens, bioluminescent plants, and inter-species battles that break out in the distance. There’s no UI on the screen, so you can really appreciate how beautiful everything looks. The camera often zooms out to let you take in the scope and beauty of your surroundings and the vistas that stretch to a distant horizon. A large part of the appeal is wondering what you might see around the corner. Planet Alpha focuses on platforming puzzles–you’ll frequently have to move climbable boxes and figure out how to avoid the hostile creatures and robots that inhabit the planet. There are no real head-scratchers though, and succeeding is mostly a matter of paying attention to your environment and timing your actions well. Getting past enemies usually requires either some rudimentary stealth (like hiding among foliage or behind a pillar until an enemy moves) or luring them into danger. This can be frustrating since the AI patterns of your enemies are unpredictable, but the feeling of relief in finally managing to lure a killer robot to its death is always satisfying.

Hostile world and enemy invaders

Several sections can be solved through trial and error, and running forward and getting killed is sometimes the easiest way to work out how to avoid getting killed next time–respawning is very quick, and changes you make to the environment persist. For reasons never fully explained, you also have the power to rotate the planet with the shoulder buttons. At first, you’re only able to do this in designated spots, but later in the game you can do it anywhere. This means that you can switch from daytime to nighttime, making use of the day/night cycle and the fact that some elements of the environment change between the two. For instance, during the day, a mushroom might appear as a platform you can jump on, and at night some plants awaken and unfurl, allowing you to use them as cover as you sneak through an area. Rotating the planet can also move elements within the environment, so a platform might rise or shift, or a door might open if you rotate in the right direction. These puzzles are interesting, but they’re rarely challenging or clever, and while the world rotation ability feels inherently grand when you first start using it, there are no unexpected twists or new interesting wrinkles in how this mechanic works. There’s beauty in watching the shift happen, though, as luminescent plants glow in the moonlight and the dawning sun casts a glorious light across the planet. Love Season

Planet Alpha gets trickier when you’re asked to perform death-defying physical feats. Large sections of the game feel reminiscent of Uncharted and its ilk, as you scramble up walls and leap between pillars, or slide down an embankment and jump at just the right moment to avoid falling to your doom. These moments can be quite exciting, and there are plenty of great scripted sequences throughout the game that see you just barely surviving as you run, jump and climb away from danger. But the controls can feel stiff in instances where precision is required, and sometimes you’ll fall to your death because your last-microsecond jump didn’t register or because you character doesn’t grab the ledge for some reason. This is an especially big issue during a handful of sequences that warp you into what seems to be another dimension, a trippy, dark void full of huge floating blocks where gravity is greatly reduced. These sections are weird, even by “mysterious game set on an alien planet” standards, but their pure focus on low-gravity platforming can be exciting at times. Flinging across long jumps is exhilarating–if you’re on a moving block and jump from it right as it comes to a stop you’ll be sent flying, which allows for traversal puzzles on a bigger scale than anything outside of the void. But these areas can also get frustrating when the physics aren’t quite gelling and you’re finding yourself being flung further than expected

While there are moments of frustration in its platforming, and the puzzles are relatively unsophisticated, the locations of Planet Alpha will most certainly stick with you. It doesn’t matter why you’re there, or what it is you’re looking for. There’s great pleasure in just existing on this planet, in navigating its harsh terrain and admiring its vistas, and the sheer beauty of it all makes the game’s shortcomings easy to bear. One thing that the Switch isn’t lacking is games, with a lot of genres covered. One genre that has been seeing a decent amount of Switch action is the narrative based side-scrolling puzzle platformer (try repeating that quickly five times). Now Planet Alpha has landed and is putting a retro sci-fi spin on things. You start off as a faceless, nameless person in an old fashion sci-fi space suit. It’s unclear what is happening at first. Traversing a mysterious alien planet during a sudden robot invasion, you find yourself running, jumping, solving environmental puzzles, and most of all surviving (with plenty of dying in between). Between the robots that want to stop you (and any other living thing really), there’s also native flora and fauna that can help or hinder. Planet Alpha throws a lot at you; for 6-7 hours I found myself on the run for most of it.Every now and then I would just stop and soak in what was going on in this wild world.
