Petty's Adventure: Volcano

3/10

Its fun, but the controls can be frustrating... at least on the steam deck they are. Fun, cheap, short 50-level physics-based platformer with a few minor issues.

[quote][b][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip![/url][/b] Petty's Adventure: Volcano is a Digital Homicide style asset flip, or what Valve calls a "Fake Game".

Despite the minor issues, it's still worth a try if you're looking for a quick and entertaining platformer!
