Horoscopicus is a 2D Retro style platformer where you complete levels based on the zodiac signs! There are also secret animals to find and pet throughout the game! Can you find them all? :D

Fun little platformer, controls are good over all, though the ledge grab takes a bit to get used to.
Overall would recommend.
I finished this game yesterday. And I liked it! Despite the simple idea and style, that's what really got me hooked. The game itself is not difficult (except for the last level...) and that's why it's quite fun to go through it. And there are a lot of references in it, which are very cool to notice. All in all, it's a short and enjoyable game.
cool game and cool dev
i dont like how the jump upgrade makes some levels a lot harder though

Lots of unique level designs. The game can be slightly frustrating when you're new to it, but overall it's a great game.
Es un buen ejemplo de 'menos es más'. A veces, un pequeño juego que va al grano, sin muchas vueltas y que te entretiene durante un buen tiempo, es mejor que uno que se extiende más de la cuenta y que aplasta la diversión a la larga. Si bien peca de repetitivo cada tanto, lo compensa con una jugabilidad adictiva y, por momentos, desafiante; una variabilidad muy buena de niveles temáticos; mejoras de personaje y la amabilidad de ponerte checkpoints que te ayudan a avanzar sin convertirse en un juego kaizo que castiga constantemente.
Algo que me gustó es que puedes elegir con qué nivel empezar y, respectivamente, qué mejora deseas obtener a futuro, lo que sirve para trazar la mejor ruta para cada jugador. Se ve bien visualmente con ese estilo retro-pixel, destaco la música: te mete en ritmo y encaja perfectamente en cada nivel. Narrativamente, no hay mucho que contar, pero tampoco lo necesita; el juego destaca solo por su propia sencillez.
Por otro lado, los controles en general son buenos; el personaje se maneja muy bien en el entorno plataformero. También tiene sus problemas: engancharse a superficies veces se vuelve muy complicado, pero afortunadamente, esto no arruina la jugabilidad general y se disfruta el juego.
Se nota que está hecho con mucho amor, con referencias por doquier, que no termine de cazar todas jaja pero en resumen, me gusto mucho.
A nice little game. It feels good to move and jump. If you go into it not excepting much you can have a good time. Some parts were really frustrating but it was mostly good. Don't do the white level first. Do some of the attack or health levels before it. Each level you beat you get a power. Under the level door will tell you what you get.
Quick Score: 3/5
Notes: Well made but relatively simple and repetitive platformer. The music and variety in terms of the visuals keeps it interesting throughout, but many of the stages are hit or miss and tend to just take a single idea and repeat it from start to finish.
I picked it up on sale for a little under 2$, and for that price its a light recommendation. Wouldn't suggest full price. Only about an hour of fairly mediocre gameplay, so don't go into it expecting more than that.
Very good little platformer. Stages are varied and controls are good
so i found this game in the description of a randomly recommended video about a rain world mod
i like it, its a pretty simple but solid platformer and its rather brief, if youve got the $6 (or like $4 right now since its on sale) id say its worth grabbing and spending a couple hours on.
it was kind of cute seeing the dev's interests sitting around, little phrases from other games, a couple familiar characters, i think i saw the max karma symbol in one of the levels
enjoyed it! not the best of the best but at 5$ it's well worth the price. deserves way more recognition than this and therefore, take this review! <3
ENG:
I don't believe in horoscope but that doesn't stop me from enjoying this little retro game, the platforming feels good and the pixel art is very nice, you can feel that the dev put love into the game.
ESP:
El horóscopo me parece una boludes pero eso no me impide disfrutar de este jueguito retro, el plataformeo se siente bien, el pixel art es muy bonito y transmite mucha nostalgia, se nota que el dev le puso amor al juego.
An retro plataform based on GameBoy era.
Here the levels upgrade your character, not only physically but visually to, which is cute watching our hero changing little things as we a advance. You can choose which levels you go first, so you can upgrade all your strenght before going to the next levels, or be more balanced and do one of each at a time.
Each level has its own characteristic so you will never be doing the same thing over and over. The soundtrack is pretty solid, nothing to point out. Regarding the bugs, there are some of them that could frustrate you but none of them are gamebreaking.
Overall, I think for its price you should give it a shot, while at it try to find all easter eggs, they're pretty cool and give a special charm to the game.
Pretty fun so far!
If you dig retro gb platformers, pick it up. ( And don't forget to pet the cat )
