[h2]This game is so bad I can't even think of a pro.[/h2] See the other reviews for more details. I'm not wasting my time reviewing this junk.

Really have a problem with the controls, i would be okay with them not being as tight as Mario or Sonic but it becomes almost like if you choose a direction and have no bounces left you can´t affect your movement or has a really bad momentum curve to it, its either too much or nothing, my main complaint is in the controls in general they just make the game annoying especially with everything being an instakill3 found this helpful
https://youtu.be/EL-XS66k1IQ An odd lack of sensitivity in the controls makes input lag enough to prevent predictable play.
tricked me when i was young and wanted the escapists
Tags: Platformer Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library TLDR: It is 10 second ninja. The version without time attack. You get one screen and must collect coins instead of killing enemies. Then reach the end tile. Insta-death spammed all over levels. http://store.steampowered.com/app/271670/10_Second_Ninja/ They made insta death traps with very very narrow margins, even if you carefully measure and monitor your jumps you will die over and over. The regular jumping is compeltely useless, and you must use a weird... morph into an energy bals and propel yourself forward gimmick that just feels really clunky to use. The controls in general feel awfully sluggish and ill designed. The 3D model for the protagonist feel straight out of a tablet game. The rest of the audiovisuals are also rather underwhelming. Finally the game has a name that is almost identical to a much more famous game creating confusion in library, and potentially in-store. This is the less desirable of the two games.
