![]() ![]() Most of my complaints regarding Balan Wonderworld‘s gameplay now lie on a truckload of pile up small inconveniences and not necessarily deal-breaking problems. The collision detection has been slightly improved, and jumping doesn’t feel as egregious as before. Those things are expensive, make sure to take care of them. The camera, while still not very good, is a lot more bearable here than how it was in the demo, but you will need to slightly increase its sensitivity in the options menu in order not to want to throw the DualSense across the room. Between the weird movements and physics, you’ll need to relearn how to get used to early 3D platforming unreliability in order to properly enjoy this game. I called Balan Wonderworld a Dreamcast game for the year 2021, and that comment still stands. The main villain, Lance, is so edgy he looks like what would happen if the creators of Sonic were in charge of making Kingdom Hearts characters designs. There is fun to be had here, and this game features some aspects that are worthy of a lot of praise, but it’s janky, a bit messy, and most importantly, it feels dated. 9 kind of disaster, this is not the case. But I’m also here to tell you that it’s actually… okay. Sadly, despite being way more enjoyable than its disastrous demo, Balan Wonderworld is still far from perfect. Such a detailed (and honestly, quite original) story for what’s essentially a by-the-books platformer. The creepy-looking Balan is dead set on helping out these people, while the villain Lance takes advantage of one’s biggest fears to transform them into monsters. Behind the ultra colorful and ultra cheerful art style lies a game that’s mostly about mental health and trying to find a solace to the problems each person is facing. These all revolve around the psyche of an anxious or depressed person, such as a scuba diver who’s afraid of swimming after almost drowning. The Steam version had a unique update six months after release where Denuvo was removed.I was shocked to realise that Balan Wonderworld was actually very story-heavy, with a big background plot for each of the two playable characters, as well as a detailed story for each of the worlds in the game. ![]() The most noteworthy thing that the patch fixed was an issue during the final boss fight where the screen flashes rapidly, which can cause seizures. ![]() According to Square Enix, this patch fixes some unknown bugs, increases the movement speed of the characters, made adjustments to the camera movement, and re-balanced the difficulty. ![]() Before the game was launched, a Day 1 patch was applied to the game.For your viewing pleasure, here's all the icons for these costumes, including the original demo versions. All four costumes are found in the files, but three of them will always go unused depending on the version of the game. These costumes were planned to be exclusive to the demo that can be transferred to the full game, but they can be unlocked through an in-game cheat. Despite the visual differences, they all function the same. Star Launcher, X Launcher, Blue Launcher and Steam Launcher are special costumes that are modeled after their respective platforms. The game is called Happiness, as it was the original working title for the game, as seen in the removed early logo from the demo. ![]()
