“I'm about an hour or so in. This game's movement is incredibly fluid and I love the art and music. From what I've seen of the platforming, it is fun and challenging, but I'm sure there will be more intense platforming…”
“Super cute, fun game. Has a very "GameCube Zelda" feel to it between the graphics and gameplay (exploration, dungeons, side quests, etc.) but also has parkour void challenges to do that remind me of the Vaults in…”

“I don't think it's anything special but it's reasonably well made. I would recommend if you don't have anything to play and are just looking for something to do for reasonably low cost. The soundtrack is solid but the…”

“Quite fun. Lots of good platforming. The original design difficulty seems to have been renamed to "hard", so I'd recommend that if you have any experience with platformers.”

“I have beat this game 3x and I have never get tired of it. If you like battle block theatre or Dust: an elysian tale, you will probably like this. this game genuinely improved my hand eye coordination for gaming. not a…”

“The game is exactly what you think it is - a sharp, responsive platformer with some action combat seasoning. It's short, but doesn't overstay its welcome - perfect length for a game like this IMO”
“really fun movement for a cheap little game and a really good story (so far, im not too far) and surprisingly, works amazing on a gamecube controller. its like im playing an hd gamecube game”

“This is the type of game where the camera is your biggest enemy. In a 3D platformer, this can spell out some really frustrating moments to just try and get through a specific section, and I'd say I'm still in the early…”

“Blue Fire, developed by Robi Studios and published by Graffiti Games, is an atmospheric action-platformer that blends precise movement with open-ended exploration, creating an experience that feels both familiar and distinct. Set in the crumbling world of Penumbra, players take…”
— a player, Steam review · 13 hrs played“Short and sweet platformer, at its best when it focuses on that instead of the combat which was kinda lackluster. Ultimately though a really enjoyable little indie, heavy Zelda inspiration, but can feel Mario's influence there as well”
— a player, Steam review · 12 hrs played“Combat is very basic as far as I have experienced. Platforming is fine I guess. I got softlock I can't access a gate cause I don't have a specific key but can't go back up because I intentionally fall to get to that area. Aside from that the level is so confusing and they chose…”
