Good game looks very retro and got a modern soundtrack https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4QTRM07bd4

This is a pretty nice megaman[-ish] game. The premise is simple enough - the game consists of a number of "courses", each of which consists of a number of levels spotting a number of upgrades scattered around, an entrance to a secret\challenge area, and ending at a boss. Levels themselves are pretty solid - perhaps not amazing, but of no annoyance (somehow a rarity for nowadays games referencing older ones), spare for an occasional classic "a small gap with a spiky enemy behind it" kind of thing. Running out of health or falling out of the level puts you back at the start of the current level, putting the player back to full health\stamina but also restoring the defeated enemies. Each secret/challenge area allows to unlock an additional "costume" once completed. Costumes grant the protagonist-robot various passive and active abilities - for instance, one of them allows to wall-jump; one allows for limited flight; a number alters how player projectiles work. You can switch costumes whenever you want, allowing to chain effects of multiple of them. Mobility-related abilities can then be used to get to previously unreachable spots on current and previous levels (which you can revisi…

Absolutely terrible game, crashes frequently, and the character feels like he weighs 5 million lbs. Character's acceleration in the air is absolutely brutal, many different enemies although they all feel the same (except for a few). Level design feels like an after thought. Only good thing about this game is the music.

Yeah no... This game is average at best, but what really kills it is the bad level and enemy design. The graphics are okay, controls are mostly good though the slow acceleration just gives it a fake difficulty, but it's boring because levels are just not good and enemies are not interesting. Most of the just stay right where they are, waiting for you to fire at them before you move on.

This game is a lot of fun. The platforming is tricky but not over the top difficult and the boss battles especially are a blast and really well done. The retro graphics make this a very eye-pleasing experience as well. While playing I also found myself bopping along to the catchy soundtrack. Definitely recommend this game.

Still pog as ♥♥♥♥ game
