The overall package definitely warrants the asking price (especially if you got it with one of the indie bundles). Personally, I those few dollars for the soundtrack alone, especially if you compare it with the usual asking price for music.… Expand

   Amazing indie game combining elements of Mirror's Edge and old school Counter Strike and Quake b-hopping and trick jumping. The motion isAmazing indie game combining elements of Mirror's Edge and old school Counter Strike and Quake b-hopping and trick jumping. The motion is fluid, and the maps are intriguing and fun. Built on Unreal Engine 3, it features gorgeous visuals and smooth gameplay. The developer has stated that free DLC will be released, including the chance to make your own custom levels with a level editor. For $9.99 off steam, this game will keep you entertained for hours.… Expand

It's made by a small indie team, the game is not huge and it sports just enough maps and content for it's price. Considering the developer stated free DLC (maps, modes and level editor) in the future, it's totally worth it's price. The gameplay is entertaining and it really gives me a feeling of freedom. Totally worth a buy.… Expand

Even if you rebind the keys, there is simply no way to execute multiple commands while using both the mouse and keyboard to move about the game world. Sometimes it is necessary to use power-ups, and having five fingers in each hand is simply not enough for inMomentum. I am certain that after excessive amounts of practice, it becomes possible, but I am not sure if the trouble is worth it. There are barely any sound effects of any kind. You will hear the occasional beeps and bloops every once in a while, but that is all besides the continuous uninspired music. The game does not give you any indication that you are actually running around and jumping. There is no feeling involved with the movement and game physics. It is as if you are gliding from place to place, then floating, gliding some more, all with odd physics that do not blend well with the game's setting or anything that makes any sense at all. Timing your glides and floats so that you land on the platforms requires mostly luck, as the controls are incredibly imprecise, and do not allow for the player to develop any real skills or techniques in order to accomplish each level rapidly and properly. inMomentum does not have any story or introduction as to why you are doing this gliding and floating around on platforms collecting orbs and doing time trials. There is no campaign of any kind to speak of, and the only aspect of the game that provides feelings of accomplishment are found in online leaderboards for the two limited game modes available. The game is so bare bones, in fact, that you will wonder if it was actually finished, and if the developer should actually be expecting money for it. inMomentum is a cheap, unfinished, unpolished, bore. Play it every once in a while for five to ten minutes at a time in order to maximize your fun with it.… Expand

It should be stated that it might attract extreme platformer fans and speed runners willing to go over the fact that the controls are broken. It's not that the simplistic approach is bad, a game can have simple yet functional design. InMomentum is simple but it's not in the least functional. Au contráre my dear folks.
   
   I simply can't excuse poor design. we all know indie developers are trying to convey their existence through nifty ideas and concepts. Those are more than welcome, but just because a game is simple doesn't mean it should be praised as "underground masterpiece" because it's rudimentary and obscure. I sure as hell won't compare it to Mass Effect in terms of production value, but it must serve its primary focus of providing a good gaming experience. InMomentum feels too unpolished for an idea that could work pretty well.… Expand
