      <body>Bonesaw is an inside joke made into a game, and it survives quite well despite the fact that you aren't clued into exactly what the inside joke is. You get a glimpse of the fact that it involves hockey, Randy Savage's rendition of Bonesaw McGraw in the Spider Man movie, and quite possibly the Kirby games from Nintendo because, let's face it, this game totally tears its art direction from the Kirby games. At first I thought that the game was a retooled ROM hack of Kirby, until I remembered that I wasn't playing it on an emulator, and that I'd just spent twenty minutes downloading the bloody fifty meg file, something that was a bit irritating because of my wonky wireless connection. Then I quickly forgot all that as it got all the more intriguing.

Bonesaw is a good platformer with a decent difficulty curve and solid level design. If you're a fan of retro platformers, you can do a whole lot worse. I have my gripes, again, most of which trail back to the fact that it's a fifty meg file, and unlike Noitu Love 2, I lost interest in it after a day. But it's definitely worth playing, if nothing else to see the brilliant faux-retro finish they've put on it. It's a good game, I could see that, and just about anyone with eyeballs could see that, but somehow it just didn't ring true with me. Still, a worthy download...

...Just make sure that you've got a decent ethernet cable beforehand.</body>
