Why the hell is this being released at almost the exact same time as Solar Ash?
Was that a deliberate scummy move by the publishers to confuse customers looking for Solar Ash? *Two* platformers with an almost identical art style, about a character that glides across waves on their feet, who fights inky black monsters to recover mysteries about a lost society, with a melancholy & ethereal soundtrack, being "1.0" released days apart? When Wavetale was already "finished" years ago? Are you for real?

The colors alone are very different so I'm not sure what you mean that they have almost identical art styles

I swear y'all are just looking for reasons to cry and complain about and be annoying. At least inform yourself. This game was one year Stadia exclusive, now it's available on Steam and other consoles. Solar Ash was one year EGS exclusive and now it's available on Steam. And they are two different games.

Palette is just one component of art style. They share: a limited *size* of palette (no. of colours), simple ("low poly" but actually rounded) models, lots of pastels and block colours, minimal textures, an illustrative / fantastical style to models in the lineage of hand-animation and particularly anime, an approach to shading/particle effects reminiscent of cel shading and similar to games like Zelda: Wind Waker, highly abstract creature designs, architectually/physically impossible spaces/environments...

As far as I know, they're the only two games that have ever been made which feature a humanoid protagonist who glides across the surface of water on their feet. Whatever is motivating your bizarre dishonesty, cut it out.

The cheapest form of reply one can find, short of direct insults; bully-style.

Meanwhile, were you to follow your own advice, you would be introduced to the notions of capitalisation, spacing, and punctuation. In other words, your writing is indistinguishable from that of ElysiumNight; your ego, however, is ridiculously inflated.

You could have civilly replied to the substance. Instead, you instantly admitted defeat with an ad hominem. And one that describes yourself. Hilarious.

insults are not ad hominems and the utility of grammar is clarity, not tradition. read more books. gotta know the rules to break them

Bizarre attempt at bait but I suppose it worked.

I totally agree. If one makes a mistake, it's understandable. If one doesn't even try to communicate clearly, others needn't make the effort to understand.
