What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
In terms of story, it's pretty staple anime stuff, but I think it's executed very well.
The speed and slow mechanics are a lot of fun though admittedly I feel more could have been done with them for puzzle solving.
Excellent graphics, soundtrack with Sonic-style level design as well as a fully realized world-building and story plot; Chrono Gear is a fully developed platformer that is worth every penny it is priced for.
In terms of graphics, it's quite good. there is a shader included if you want a retro shader. in terms of difficulty, I found it pretty challenging near the end, and I am someone who cleared Mega Man 11 in 1 hour, for it's achievement.
The graphics and pixel art are wonderful to look at; some of the backgrounds are real lookers, the amount of small details in not only the levels but also the character sprites and animations are great.
Every time it makes me think of Rabi-Ribi, I'm reminded "I'd rather play Rabi-Ribi right now, the combat dynamics are much more thorough and engaging, most characters have animal-features despite being anime, and everyone's lack of pants is an acceptable level of fanservice."
