Platform action game from an independent team Busy Toaster. At Georifters, we take control of heroes who can influence the environment - these abilities allow them, for example, to move and create platforms or even use selected objects as weapons.
Georifters is a platform action game developed by the independent studio Busy Toaster from Taiwan. The publication of the game was handled by AnotherIndie, which has in its portfolio such titles as NAIRI: Tower of Shirin or Sinner: Sacrifice for Redemption.
Georifters takes you to a strange universe of five worlds enclosed in peculiar bubbles. The latter have so far been isolated from each other, but an accident made them join together. Now, their inhabitants, led by the main character, Candy, must put away their differences and fight together for the greater good.
In Georifters, the action is shown from the side. The game consists of various levels, which are full of all kinds of obstacles, traps, and opponents. The stages can be completed as the title characters, each of whom has a special skill that enables them to influence the environment in a special way. This enables you to move on platforms vertically and horizontally during the game, rotate or destroy objects, throw rocks directly at opponents' heads or even create additional structures, and then use them like bridges. You can improve these abilities with the help of stickers collected during the adventure. Moreover, the costumes gained along the way enable you to modify the appearance of your charges.
Georifters can be played solo or in the company of up to three other players on a common screen. In addition to the story mode, which can be completed both solo and in local co-op mode, the game also offers the Time Trial mode (where the players run, trying to complete the stage in the shortest possible time) and the competitive Battle Race mode, where the competitors try to reach the finish line in the first place.
Georifters features colorful cartoonish visuals. The game is powered by the Unreal Engine 4 technology.

Game Ratings for Georifters Video Game.
Cubed3: 4 / 10 by Renan Fontes
Georifters isn't the worst platformer, but an ugly aesthetic and repetitive level design make for a generally unpleasant playthrough. What's especially disappointing is how creative the core mechanics are. Players are encouraged to manipulate the world around them, but stages are so basically built that even the most engaging puzzles barely offer enough stimulation. Georifters does have a fairly decent multiplayer mode, but mainly due to circumstance rather than thought provoking game design.
Nintendo Life: 5 / 10 by Henry Stockdale
Georifters has good ideas on paper but ultimately, it all feels rather tedious. If you're searching for new kid-friendly multiplayer games, there are better experiences available and at a lower cost, making this hard to recommend by comparison. Should those options already be exhausted, Georifters does have some fun moments within its Adventure Mode co-op while the Battle Arena mode offers competitive fun. But ultimately, those seeking a new puzzle-platforming fix would be better off looking elsewhere.

Whether you go it alone or prefer playing with friends, Georifters offers oodles of puzzle fun set in a brilliantly lively world.
