Has anyone bought this mini?
Did anyone else even know about it?
I looked it up on Google, it's based on a comic and it looks quirky and fun.
It's priced at £3.49 (or free if you have 'Plus'). ;)
P.S. Don't forget my credit guys.
'EDIT' It's only available to 'Plus' subscribers at the moment... even though it's priced and has an option to buy.
meh.
Read the edit to my first post.
P.S. I understand how this game was overlooked in weekly anouncement on the first page of this site.
I decided to buy this game today... it just looked so damn good, plus I had just enough credit left to get it. ;)
P.S. Does anyone know of any minis that I can get for £0.06 (all the credit I now have left). lol
Are they developing a sequel or what!? I enjoyed it up until it the ending and now I'm pissed off! I won't spoil it for anyone who hasn't played it, but COME ON!
The game really needed an instruction manual or better in game tutorials. I didn't figure out until the last level, that hitting the jump and attack buttons at the same time makes you jump higher. I only figured that out because I was stuck with no where to go because I couldn't jump high enough. I just did what came naturally and started pressing a combination of buttons until it got me some where. Also, pressing the jump button while swimming gives you a short boost.
Visually it's a little blurry, but it's not as bad as what it said in the review. The one thing Jasper hit hard on the head though, was not being able to always tell what in the environment will harm you or not.
If your running through the game, which is WAY too short, the difficulty is not a problem. But if your trying to get everything in a level... good luck with that. But in all honesty, I don't recommend you try to collect everything anyway. You don't get anything for your hard work and you can't go back and collect what you missed once you finished the level, without starting a new saved game.
But it is a fun platformer that gives you a lot of freedom in the short amount of time it takes to beat it. The soundtrack is great, it may look a bit blurry, but it's still a visually appealing game. It's not too difficult and still provides you with a challenge if your looking for one. I just wish the ending (or lack there of) didn't piss me off.
7.5/10
I feel compelled to call it the Freekscape of 2011. A great mini, that for some reason, won't show up on many peoples best of list.
The game reminds me so much of Loco Roco it's freaky. This could well have been on the short-list for mini of the year... but it fell a bit short. I don't like a game developer to treat me like an idiot, but at the same time some direction would have been extremely helpful as far as this game goes. ;)
