Ms. Splosion Man

Definitely worth your time. A very fun puzzle platformer. Worth full price, and *definitely* worth picking up on sale. High points: [list] [*] Personality (this game drips with fun easter eggs, goofy NPCs, and clear love from the devs. I could go on for hours about details I love) [*] Runs on a potato these days [*] Content! - Easily 5 hours minimum of SP content, and the multiplayer is a blast too (Not that I lend much value to the hours/dollar metric... It's a crappy way to rate games IMO) [*] Speedrun potential - super fun to go for times on levels, the platforming is pretty tight once you're used to the quirks [*] No major glitches I ran into - Always a concern with these old console ports, but ran fine on my Windows 10 machine [*] Couch & online multiplayer! - Not a lot of couch co-op options on PC, always nice to have [/list] Hit or miss: [list] [*] The main character is *very* chatty. I find it endearing, but some may find it grating after an hour or 2 of play [*] Humor is a little bit juvenile [*] A sequel to an XBLA exclusive - Not a big deal IMO, but there is a Mr. Splosion Man that never made its way to PC. But why would you play a platformer for the plot? [/list] Low…

ah jee I sploded

[h1]Boring[/h1] [hr][/hr] Not to be mean to a small time team, but I couldn't stop feeling bored or annoyed playing this game. Level design has some moments, but it was mostly all very annoying, with puzzles not meshing all that well, in my opinion. Specially because most of them, if you fail a single step, you'll have to redo them all over, and for a fast paced platformer, it kinda sucks. The idea of 3 jumps and a recharge is cool, but not having the jumps recharge as soon as you touch the ground made the game feel horribly to play. Having some objects be physics based didn't really help all that much. Sometimes you'll have to bring a ball to point B, and you can accidently make the ball go so slowly, and you can't just adjust the speed because the ball is on the other side of a wall, etc. Having the normal scientists who do nothing be objects you can't just run over killed the pacing, as you have to blow them up and jumping around in a straight floor doesn't feel nice. The slow down meant to help with timing of the barrel usually was more of a hassle to deal with, while some explosions sent you so far so fast you miss a barrel to blow up, die, and start the section all over.…

i was surprised at how clever the level designs can be, it's tough but manageable puzzle platforming. the bosses can be take it or leave it, the levels that take the spotlight, especially after the first world. i had fun beating all the levels and collecting every shoe, give or take 2-3 bs factors, it was a blast all around (no pun intended).

ordinarily i would place a " " in this box to leave a low-effort positive review but i think this game deserves at least one half-thought out rambling sentence that ends abruptly
