VVVVVV

4 It came as a wonderful surprise.
I haven’t heard of the game before, so i stumbeled into it without a warning. Whilst the game isn’t perfect, it’s still a blast and i’ve enjoyed it a lot.

It features mostly nice retro gfx (some sprites could look better, great colours, …), very good sfx (music as well as sound effects), interesting level, ahm sorry, room design (with, hurray, unique names), good steering (although i sometimes wished that there would be less gliding involved) and robust game mechanics with an overall fine gameplay. The game also has this invisible quality which might not be visible on a first view but which makes it shine the longer you play. Maybe the demo isn’t this wisely choosen.

Balancing is mostly fine, only a few rooms like for instance “Do as i say… …not as i do!” can drive you a little bit crazy. In such situations you, after a certain number of deaths, whish that you could reduce the gaming speed just for this specific situation, instead of beeing forced to start it all over again to get passed the situation. It’s this vs. the feeling that you finally beat a room – hey anyone remembering Hungry Horace?! At least the option exists playing it at reduced speed and with this it’s all doable. Depending on your skills it might be a good idea starting it with 80% or even 60%.

It’s a very well done game which mostly feels just right and in my opinion it’s totally worth the money but i’m wondering if the earnings could be better if it would sell for less.

Thanks for this wonderful game!
