“I love it! Really fun and not easy. Good combination of jump and run skill with riddles. Didn´t crash even once and couldn´t spot any bugs so far. Only thing that would be cool is an exit to windows button ingame. If…”
“I had this game from a bundle when it was still in greenlight. Thought it looked decent but very Mario alike. Now that Ethan is greenlit I recieved the key and yes, I was right on both parts. Ethan looks decent and is…”
“So i got this game from a friend for free, and decided to write a review about this game. First off, this is a platform / speedrunner game. Im not really into speedrunners due to my disabilities in my hand, but i will…”

“Puzzle and platforming, very nice combo. Game has ok graphics and puzzles give you enough challenge. Much fun and you can play this again!”
“Not only challenging platformer but also puzzle”

“Ethan: Meteor Hunter is a deep and extremely challenging game. At times it gets too challenging, though, and it lacks the personality needed to emerge in a crowded genre. Game : 8.5/10 Graphic : 8.5/10”
“Puzzle and platforming, very nice combo. Game has ok graphics and puzzles give you enough challenge. Much fun and you can play this again!”
“I love this game. I like the puzzles in it and the music and graphics as well. It is a bit difficult, which makes it challenging ;)”

“A tough 2D puzzle-platformer that gets a lot harder along the way but is a little more focused on precision platforming and a bit less on tough puzzles. Both keyboard & mouse and a controller work pretty well with this…”
“Lot's of fun, highly recommend. I was almost done winning the game by the time I realized there was an option in the settings to adjust sensitivity. I found lining up the puzzle elements a bit tedious and sometimes used…”
“This game is a somewhat fun puzzle platformer. It runs in 1080p and has controller support that works well. But, the game is slow to start and the puzzles get a little boring. It seems like a game for people that like…”

“THIS GAME IS AMAZING! I can't stop appreciating the effort that was put into it. It is sad how little attention the game has received. I love that the game has a clear structure, that game elements are so interactive…”
“Games with precision platforming also need precision controls, and the floaty jumps and unforgiving kill zones don't always make this a joy to play. That said, freezing time in midair in order to manipulate objects…”

“Dont let the trailer or the demo fool you, after a few levels you will find yourself playing that classic arcade game when you just have to restart levels only to get some luck on a moving platform. If you want to buy…”
“Expected more of this game, not that fun and full of bugs.”
“IMO a good game made badly. Zero mistakes allowed during the tutorial, the tutorial itself needs more explanation on what you are supposed to do ( whats the point of a tutorial if you have to guess half the time and…”

“Since the recommendation compares Ethan: Meteor Hunter to Braid, I bought it hoping for challenging and well-designed puzzles, but the challange and the difficulty of this game comes solely from jumping on and over…”
“I genuinely hate this game. I've played far worse, do not get me wrong, but there is something so hideously grating about my experience with Ethan that I feel should be used as a warning for those curious. Platforming…”

“Difficulty spikes quite a bit and the pogo levels have no checkpoints, which for me turns the game into a frustration machine.”
“I found this game more frustrating than fun, so I just stopped playing it near the start of the 2nd act. With most puzzle oriented games, I'd say that the struggle comes from finding the solution. With Ethan, you get…”
“At times awesome, at times frustratingly impossible. Bosses are a nightmare. Still haven't finished it due to annoyance. There's a lot of having to repeat levels over and over and over and over and OVER in order to get…”

“Hard doesn't necessarily mean good, it's a fine puzzle game but it's not much fun and there are hundreds of other games just like this. If you absolutely love puzzle games and just have to have another one this is…”
“One of those games where the puzzles just can feel... Off. I've attempted to play it several times over the last few years and each time I've had to quit as the sounds, music, graphics and levels leave me feeling…”
“rubbish game horrible graphics and looks really ugly shame its got a meh for gameplay”

“A lot better than I expected! 4/5 Pros: - Very challenging puzzles and platforming. - Good variety of challenges. - About 3 leaderboards per stage. Clear time, fragments collected, and pauses used. - 3 worlds with many stages. The game is hard enough to make you spend a lot of…”

Being a fan of the genre I decided to give it a go and I was not dissapointed. I was actually quite impressed. I'm very competitive so the leaderboard is a really nice feature.…”

This game has charm and excitement, and each level is interesting and challenging. Unfortunately, its good points are horribly overshadowed by the difficulty and requirement for…”
