very cute game and you should definitely grab it especially if it's on sale it has a very simple core but keeps finding new ways to riff on its mechanics and it's pretty fun and satisfying to try and complete all the secrets!!! i only really wish it was a little longer... also, shoutouts to simpleflips
Garbanzo Quest isn't just good, it's really good. It's very inspired by Super Mario World, even if it plays completely differently. It does share a lot of modern Mario DNA in being a platformer that continually builds stages around a specific concept, introduced at the beginning of the stage and escalating the difficulty of it as the stage unfolds. Difficulty is higher (on standard settings) than Super Mario World and it does reuse some gimmicks a little too much, like many stages has some kind of "stress factor" similar to the sun in Super Mario Bros 3, but instead of limiting usage to specific worlds or sections, it keeps doing them over and over again. Not that that is enough to bring my enthusiasm down. There just so many great levels and so many neat little touches - it even has a dvd bouncing ball screen saver with the main character, if you leave the game alone - it's another one of those, why aren't people talking about this? If you like 2D platformers it comes highly recommended. There is a very minor bug when you close it on Steam Deck, where the screen goes blank, but you can just hit the home/xbox button and go to library, so it's not really an issue.
Introduction Garbanzo Quest, developed and self-published by solo developer "zagawee" (with some help from gracious donations online and the support of loved ones) released in 2024 to unfortunately low player counts. A year later, and at the time of writing, the game sits only at 420 (nice) total reviews, but 98% of those reviews are positive and for good reason. Main Review The game features a bright, quirky art style, which lends itself well to the game's absurdist and, at times, somewhat random comedy. The soundtrack is surprisingly tonally varied, and the world map's interconnectivity and secrets are one of the best I've ever seen in a 2D platformer. I managed to, by accident, kill 4 of the game's 6 main bosses almost back-to-back, by accidentally finding a secret in one level that lead me through miscellaneous, strange shortcuts. I even found an easter egg, pertaining to killing a boss, that is meant to be a later appearance of a recurring foe, before fighting the one I was meant to find first. The game's secrets are well hidden, but not obscure by any means. There are no annoying, old school instances of "here's a solid-looking wall, but you can actually walk straight through it!" I greatly appreciated this throughout my 14 hours of play, as hugging walls like you're a blind man without his cane or seeing-eye dog, is not nearly as satisfying as just finding things through a sharp gaze, and few indie developers seem to understand this objective fact. I laughed a lot, I died a lot, I groaned at perpetual failure, only to eventually triumph over every challenge in the game, 100%ing it and having an absolute blast. My heaviest way of recommending this game? My 14 hours of playtime were two days of playtime. I was hooked. It's been a while since I've played something this rewarding, where I never once had to silently mutter some form of "well... that was unfair" or "man, this RNG sucks!" Garbanzo Quest is a hidden gem and has charmed me enough to end up on my personal list of favorite platformers, sitting snuggly somewhere slightly below Celeste. What this game lacks in momentum and complex maneuvering-tech in comparison to Celeste, it more than makes up for in how creatively it uses traps, enemies and mechanics. The game is absolutely oozing with them. Some of the mechanics only show up for a level or two throughout the entirety of the game's seven worlds, granting a welcome and interesting reprise whenever you start feeling like the game might be getting stale or overplaying its seemingly simplistic hand. A lot of mechanics, however, will continuously come back in ever more clever and cool combinations, that show the developers genuinely impressive pedigree for level design sense. Nothing it ever feels out-of-place either, as the whole world the game sets up feels bizarre from the get-go, creating an atmosphere of "anything goes". Though even then, aesthetically speaking, zagawee somehow manages to blend all of these elements and set pieces from entirely stylistically different worlds in a way that never quite forces you to have to suspend disbelief too hard or give overmuch benefit of the doubt to the disharmony. It's a dissonance that exists, but is hardly, if ever, felt. As dumb as it might seem at first glance of the silly title and presentation, I have to genuinely conclude this: Garbanzo Quest is a masterpiece. Please play it!
Good game! Glad we got to play it :) Highly recommend to anyone on the fence about it. That said, if I were trapped in a room with hitler, stalin, and the invincible metal sun guy, and I had a gun with 2 bullets, I would shoot the sun guy twice. Hope your next game is just as good <3
