Save The Princess

A little classic platformer that scratches an itch but doesn't do anything remarkable. Plus a bug that forces you to erase all your progress. Your knight moves over a map and selects nodes in a linear path. Each stage plays like any other classic platformer. The only objective is to reach the end door while jumping over threats and killing enemies by throwing weapons at them. Another ability the knight is very good at is wall jumping. If you're playing with a gamepad, you can take advantage of a bug that allows you to climb up any wall. What’s not so great about the protagonist is that a single hit will kill him. You get three chances per stage; lose them all and you’ll have to restart the stage. There’s almost no backtracking except for a few stages with transparent platforms that turn solid once you find a switch in a hidden stage on the main map. Later you start seeing blue gems that allow you to jump again. They don't always work and are unreliable. What makes this even more frustrating is that they’re placed right above spikes. Each main stage has three stars if you like to collect things. They are usually right out in the open, but sometimes you’ll have to jump into wal…

I like this game. However, there were times where I was like, "That jump should have been made." Controls are a little bit stiff but numerous checkpoints. No real story to be had.
