Aero's Quest

Aero's Quest is a neat little platformer that might just brighten up your day a bit more. It’s a game with interesting puzzles, good looking graphics and fast-paced gameplay that takes you through a lot of levels in several different environments.

Aero's Quest is pretty much in its early stages of development, still in the works, and we need to make that clear right from the start. The game looks very good so far but as you play there might be a few things that catch your attention and make it feel a bit unpolished. However, looked at in ensemble, there’s really nothing really worth pointing at.

Focusing on the good, Aero's Quest is really colorful and throughout the game you will get to experience several different worlds that come with new enemies and new puzzles to solve. At its core, the game has it all pretty much figured out in terms of gameplay.

To pass each level you need to activate a number of switches that open the cage in which your love, Ariella, is being held captive by the evil Andraus. It sounds simple enough but every level faces you with new trials, puzzles, traps and enemies, meaning that there will no tedious moment and you won’t have to do the same exact same thing twice on any two levels. Diversity exists and it’s welcome.

To make things more challenging, each level has to be completed in a certain amount of time. After all, there’s no slacking off when it comes to saving the love of your life. The given time is usually more than enough to get one step closer to rescuing Ariella but there are levels in which it might not seem so.

This is why you will have to find various powerups that are present in each level. They can make you invisible, jump higher, move faster and even slow down time.

On a closing note, it’s safe to say that Aero's Quest is something that you should keep an eye out for. It’s vivid, entertaining (solid gameplay, great soundtrack) and it’s planned to offer a very large number of levels to tackle.
