Poncho
Poncho is an upcoming video game release
from publisher Rising Star Games, and developer Delve Interactive. This
plane shifting video game will appear on the Playstation Vita,
Playstation 4, Wii U, and Personal Computer. Family Friendly Gaming was
provided a download code for Poncho on Steam. The download for Poncho
was just under four hundred megs. As you know we put the ceiling at one
gig for any downloadable product. If it goes over one gig then it needs
to be presented to the industry in physical format. Poncho is way under
the ceiling, and acceptable as a downloadable video game. I still hope
Poncho comes out in a physical format. Or maybe on some compilation
physical copy disc. Poncho is definitely within the indie bubble
graphically, and with the sounds. Push through the black parts of the
screen to get to the next level. I was provided that instruction and it
fits with the situations. Be patient for the next screen to load, and
follow any on screen instructions.
Poncho is all about shifting between planes on the screen. This concept
is seen quite often on the Nintendo 3DS. It is rare to see such
foreground and background interaction in a game outside of the Nintendo
3DS. It works marvelously for Poncho. I had no problems shifting, and
saw how the developer can make some frustrating sections to get through
when the platforms are shifting themselves. I hope the final release has
players shift with a platform they are standing on. The Beta version I
played of Poncho dropped me to my death when the platform I was on
shifted. It is really hard to time my characters shifting with the
objects. There are some interesting robotic looking characters in
Poncho. I enjoyed finding new skills while I played Poncho.
Originally Poncho was supposed to release in June of 2015. However I was
just provided information from the Editor in Chief that Poncho is going
to be bumped out. I am not sure how far. Lord willing Poncho will arrive
for families by Christmas 2015. What I saw was really polished, and
almost ready for publishing. Hopefully the few issues I ran into will be
corrected before the final official and complete launch. I am going to
request a reviewable copy of Poncho on the Playstation 4. Unless Family
Friendly Gaming Universe would like to see us review it on another
system. The shifting in Poncho is really cool, and this video game has
the potential to be a sleeper hit. I am puzzled as to why there is no
Nintendo 3DS version of Poncho coming soon.
