Miles & Kilo

Simple classic platforming fun at a breakneck pace.

Miles & Kilo is such a short and sweet platformer or an auto-scroller depending on your choice and it’s a lot of fun! It could be classified as a sequel or a spiritual successor of Kid Tripp from the same developer with a similar gameplay to this one. After your plane crashes on a supposedly cursed island and its parts get scavenged by a bunch of goons, you try to get them back with your dog Kilo. You get past obstacles, fight bosses, collect fruits to use against enemies, and collect coins to score high points through levels that are usually 25 seconds long. It’s not a very long game as it took me only 4 hours to get all the achievements, but there’s a time attack mode that gets unlocked after you beat the game once which adds a little bit of replay value, especially if you’re going for all achievements. It has relaxing summer vibes and a charming soundtrack with fun gameplay. It kind of reminded me of Adventure Island with its short levels, but Adventure Island games are usually a lot longer. My only complaint about the game would be the slight input lag I’ve experienced during my playthrough. If you’re looking for something to relax real quick with a little bit of challenge, M…

Despite its glaring flaws, I was ready to leave a positive review until... the last achievement. The last achievement wants you to finish the whole game under 10 deaths. I was enjoying it trying many times to get S each level, but it was no longer fun when I had to beat the whole game with as little death as possible. It ruined my entire experience. The biggest issue is that the game frequently micro-stutters/freezes, completing omitting your input. This happens VERY often. My rig with 4080 Super should not have issues with such game. This problem seems to be also happening in the console version so it's simply poorly coded. I have had so many deaths during my playthrough for the last achievement due to these freezes.

When this game came out for mobile devices a few years ago I thought it was great. Now that I downloaded it on Steam I still think it's great. And why??? Because it's great. Pure addiction. You can play for hours and hours. 9
