Amid the pandemic's weakening, Gyeonggi Content Promotion Agency announced that Korea's no. 1 game show PlayX4 (www.playx4.or.kr) will be held in 2022 both online and offline.
 
The 2021 PlayX4 online B2B event saw 329 game companies — 142 game developers and 187 game buyers, recording an export of USD11,067 million and was highly recognized by national and international game industries as Korea's no. 1 game event held successfully amid the pandemic.

This year, the event will run for two days from May 12, 2022 to May 13 in the venue set at Ilsan Kintex Hall 6 both online and offline to increase the scale with more various support programs than 2021 where it was held only online, so it is expected to attract many game companies in the country and abroad.

The 2022 PlayX4 online/offline B2B selected 20 games that will lead the global game industry to signpost the development of future games and services across the world. It is expected to encourage overseas publishers and global game companies to reach out for business call.

This game has a far-fetched story of a character climbing a mountain on a hoverboard for graduation from a college. The genre is platform action, more specifically, a precision platformer. The level of difficulty is similar to that of Getting Over It and Jump King, and players may be pissed off by the level design. It is highly recommended for game streamers. The manipulation method is nothing like what other game had; it controls the hoverboard using ASDF keys (not WASD) and features a precise speeding system. It will take quite a time getting used to playing it. (Inquiry: [email protected])
