All it took was about 30 minutes of game time to tell that this game isn't for me. Just a standard, very difficult (for me) platformer with questionable controls. There is a mode that is suppose to make the game easier but it doesn't fix the control issues for me.1 found this helpful
7.5/10 actual good remake made by a small team.1 found this helpful
Meh, it's alright. Challenging but not in a fun way. Got through all the stages/worlds, collected all the orbs
No mid-level saves. Can't leave a level and come back. You have to finish the level. You're either committed to it or not. Nice aesthetic but Mr Run and Jump is the one that's trapped in the world, not me.
I really love this modern version of Atari. I’m not going to pretend every game they publish is a banger. But the ones that are good are genuinely brilliant, and it feels like the whole world is sleeping on them. The story behind Mr. Run and Jump is that it started as a homebrew project for the Atari 2600. And it’s a pretty nice platformer, which I’m saying with the full knowledge that Pitfall exists. A lesser company would’ve ignored it. Nintendo and Sega ignore homebrew on their old systems all the time. Atari looked at this and went: yeah, we can make something of this. So they did. They turned it into a modern release, while still letting the 2600 version exist as the weird little origin story it is. The game even starts with a nod to that homebrew version. Then it opens up into this full glowing neon version of the idea. And it’s a precision platformer. No gimmicks. Just tight movement and a ton of jumping options that chain together. Double jumps, dives, long jumps, wall jumps, all that stuff. You’re basically learning to fly, except the game is constantly trying to kill you for it. There are enemies everywhere, but you don’t fight them. You dodge them. Spikes, skull-lo…
Good game. I wish there was the Atari 2600 also available to buy here
