Title
Short and sweet!
Pink Hour is simple and short, and considering that it's free, it's worth at least checking out. It's a typical 2D platformer. You can shoot and move and dodge obstacles and all that. The story is pretty silly, but cute. You play as Pink, an office worker, who must obtain a document for her boss in one piece. It's located underground, for some reason, and she can blast enemies, somehow. You gotta roll with it.

The difficulty is pretty simple, so it's not a particularly stressful endeavor, and a fair amount of people are going to beat this on their first go. The graphics are simple and pixelated, and not particularly bad, though not the neatest looking either. There's only one boss fight, but funnily enough, you can skip it if you jump far enough and at the right time to go over its head. There's two different endings you can get here; one for bringing the document back, and one for beating the game without it (if you get damaged, for example). The ending for beating it with the document gives you a short cutscene, leading to the store page for Kero Blaster, which is a nice way to promote your game (since this is an advertisement for the game, after all).

There's a hard mode you can unlock if you beat the game, which extends its replayability just a little bit. Because I'm not the best at video games, this took me a lot longer than it probably should have, but it's still pretty beatable in under an hour. What makes the mode so hard is that Pink (the character you control) tends to float when she jumps, which can make it easy to over or underaim when you jump. This isn't bad in the regular mode, but in hard mode, some platforms are only barely big enough to where you have to jump perfectly. I'm not particularly a fan of the "perfect jump" difficulty in games, so a good portion of the hard mode wasn't too fun, and the second-to-last screen right after the boss fight took up maybe the most time on my hard mode attempts. However, once you figure it out, you'll be able to get the rhythm down and blow through it pretty fast. There's an ending to unlock here if you beat it with the document, leading into either Kero Blaster or Pink Heaven.

The game is fun for the short amount of time it offers, and while I'm not a fan of the jumping, the game isn't punishing and doesn't want to be arbitrarily hard. It's a nice relaxing time overall. Also, it's free, so there's no stress over cost per playtime. The one downside for some people may be that there are no achievements or trading cards, but this isn't a loss in my book, considering how straightforward the game is. Give it a go!
