  This is my first bad review, I really wanted to enjoy this game, but I got motion sickness playing it. I think their game oracle is much better, if you like walking sims you should give it a try, but I cannot recommend Riverhill Trials.

  I thought I was going to do some platforming, but I pressed New Game and found out I have to fly a ship through a tunnel and avoid asteroids. All good. Next thing, I had to land on a planet, luckily I didn't do it by myself because I would have probably crashed. The planet environment looks fantastic. As a huge fan of platformers, I'd have to say the followings: PRO: - 3D Platforming mixed with first person view is a nice addition to the genre and there are not a lot of games like this - The music is really good and gets you going - The voiceover and subtitles are pretty funny, could've had more - The game starts easy, but gets a bit harder along the way - Really good optimization CONS: - No mute audio option - Saw a floating mushroom, but hey, gravity I haven't finished the game yet, all in all it's a really good game made by only two people and it looks better than AAA's. I recommend it.

  I have refunded only one game before this and this one got to be the number two on that list. I had high hopes for this. It looked nice in the trailer and I like to support Indie developers and studios, but this was something else... - First bad experience was the spaceship flying part at the very beginning of the game. The asteroid hitboxes were awful and I died around 20 times in the first 10 minutes of the game. Sloppy controls didn't help that at all. - The narrator seems too happy and almost idiotic/childish by the way he represents the game environment. Almost like a Forrest Gump ver.2, but without stutter and general "Gumpiness". - Collectables were these small floating UFO's littered around the map. Did they relate to anything? Heck no! - Jumping parts were horrible! The character slides a little bit after you stop, almost like on ice with a bit too much momentum. Combine that with moving platforms and you got yourself a quite nerve wrecking platformer part. - Mouse cursor was visible all the time and didn't go away, no matter what I did. - Game assets disappeared and reappeared suddenly, especially the environment itself. - Music sounded like a weekend project without proper goal. Just a mix of something trown together. - Bunch of random ideas thrown into a mix-match environment. The general idea of the game was lacking. The frustration kicked in after 30 minutes and I had to quit playing. Maybe I sound a bit too harsh with this review, but I genuinely cannot recommend this. Wait till you get it from sale or bundles... Or something magical happens and the developer turns this project into a decent walking and jumping exploration simulator.

  Very nice looking game. Was surprised to see that only 2 developers made it! Platforming gameplay is very challenging from the start and it gets even harder as you progress but it makes you feel good everytime you surpass an area. Encountered a few small glitches and I could use some customize options menu but overall very good. Totally recommended!

  (Edit; changed from dislike to like, since the author does seem to have fixed all major flaws, tldr: if you like 3d platformers, definitely get this.) Pros: -The game looks very good, and is optimized pretty well and feels like it should be great. -full voice acting adds a nice touch, despite the fact it's a little silly Conts: -The platforms are easily desynced from eachother in random fashions, leaving you constantly waiting to see how many cycles it takes to resync and then make a failed jump and have to wait again. -(edit: this may or may not be fixed, I tried to replay the game and gave up testing after pressing new game put me back where I just was after the ship scene) There are some strange movements by the character like they are up against invisible walls in random areas without platforms, like the controls go strange and then fix when you walk away and come back, you can walk normally in the area. It's not a "bad" game, it's got a lot of effort put into it clearly on visual finesse, but as a platformer it doesn't work for me, but if you like platformers and have the patience and have the conscious mind of collecting all blue disks before touching different colored ones, then this game looks worth the price of less than 10 dollars for fun times. (To add: One of my friends who I got to buy it wished there was an option for turn off voice or individual sliders on music and voice, but I know that's probably harder to add retroactively on unity games, but that's a suggestion. He also paused and unpaused and somehow ended up in this glitchy noclip mode?)

  If there is one thing I'd have to say about this game is that the developer deservers to be in first rate development team where he can focus completly on visual design. How this game looks is absolutly amazing, with the exception of the spaceship :D The visual style would be a great asset to many developers. That being said, the game feels like more of a showcase for the graphics then an actual game. The sound design is only a nice sounding soundtrack with some voiceover which I can only assume it is the developer talking. The gameplay seems more like something the developer though of later on rather then planned to make all along. Like he build the game around the graphics rather then at the same time. Platformers are nice and all, but they are ground base for gameplay. Level one. 100% linear as well. Linear is fine, but it does suggest what I said. Don't take this rant as a reason to not buy the game. It is cheap and still an enjoyable experience, especially if you like platformers. More importantly, it is to help a capable developer grow. Maybe a studio will take him on (take on me) to combine his graphics capability with a more focused gameplay crafter. Until then, enjoy this game

  First of all, I'm really impressed that this has been made only by 2 people!! At this price, you don't just get what you paid, you get more and I really recommend this title! PROS: - Awesome music - Great platforming - Very good optimizations - Great scenery - Funny voiceovers CONS: - A few bugs, but nothing to worry about, doesn't ruin the game - No double jump, I like to double jump in platformers

  This game has its fair share of issues curently but when they are fixed this game will be worth the time you put into it, Although I don't think it would take more than 3 hours even for a more inexperienced gamer to get everything.

  Cannot recommend the game in its current state. I only played for a short while, but had a decent amount of issues with bugs, along with some quality of life issues and some more general gameplay design issues. It looks like development is still quite active on it, so hopefully it will improve going forward. EDIT: Just to make it a bit clearer, I played it after the 0.4 update. I didn't post my specific issues here as I assume most will eventually be fixed, so I put the specific issues in a discussion in the game's forum instead.

  I believe I first saw a post for this game on imgur. Followed it, saw it launch for a ludicrious price, but bought it for the $1 or whatever it was reduced to. The environment and art were very enjoyable, and nearly worth the asking price. The few background beats blended well into the atmosphere for the hour or so. Now for the gameplay: pretty much non-existent. Super frustrating platforming (sticky controls, bad jump initiation, waiting too long for platforms to sync up only for your character to instead decide to jump AFTER DEATH), random UFO collection with no ties to anything else. Just not a lot of substance here. Feels like an unfinished walking simulator with bad platforming mechanics stapled on. Nice art, cool environment. Very annoying gameplay for something of this length.
