Blast Course is a puzzle platformer that can require you to rigorously bounce your self round with highly-explosive photographs.
In case you are conversant in the sport Staff Fortress 2, you doubtless bear in mind individuals utilizing the bigger gun-based weapons, firing them on the floor, permitting them to leap up larger. Blast Course takes this very enjoyable idea and brings it to a brand new, nearly Portal 2-feeling sport.
Blast Course is a first-person puzzle-platformer that takes you thru a bunch of check chambers, testing out these new blast weapons from The Attention-grabbing Firm. A voice from above offers you bits of data and generally encourages you (though I felt quite a bit just like the encouragements have been extra like taunts).
The sport does really feel extra puzzle than platformer with you needing to make use of your blasting gun to leap over gaps, climb on partitions, and hit targets. You additionally want to maneuver blocks round and generally shoot blocks to get them as much as new heights. There are additionally totally different weapons which you can unlock in Blast Course that work barely in another way for fixing puzzles. One gun launches grenades which you can then get to blow up on the identical time. Excellent for triggering buttons!
Blast Course feels nostalgic, however on the identical time refreshing and new. There’s something so enjoyable about launching your self round with explosives – one thing that feels so satisfying with every motion – which actually attracts individuals in. I fairly just like the comedian guide type of the sport too, which lends properly to this sort of sport. The puzzles really feel intelligent and check your mind-set whereas not being too difficult to make you are feeling hopeless.
I obtained the prospect to play Blast Course at BIG Convention the place the builders spoke of their future with the sport and the way joyful they have been to create this whereas attending college collectively. It’s a really spectacular scholar mission!
Blast Course is accessible now (totally free) on Steam.
