About Sydney Hunter and the Curse of the Mayan
Sydney Hunter and the Curse of the Mayan is a love-letter to 8-bit action adventure games with challenging platformer gameplay and a huge number of Maya-inspired bosses.
You play as Sydney Hunter, adventure supreme, who by sheer luck manages to get trapped inside a massive Maya pyramid. He soon discovers that the "Feathered Serpent" Kukulkan has broken up the sacred Haab calendar into seven individual pieces and has hidden them inside the very same pyramid!
Widespread chaos and a time freeze will certainly follow if the Haab calendar isn't located and put back together. With the support of the local Maya population, Sydney Hunter must now find all seven pieces of the Haab calendar, defeat Kukulkan, and return peace and balance in the Maya civilization.
Features:
• Play through a challenging single-player campaign inspired by Maya gods, culture, and history.
• Unearth two different endings!
• Enjoy 8-bit style graphics accompanied by an awesome chiptune soundtrack.
• Battle against 13 powerful Maya gods and mini-bosses.
• Turn scan lines on/off feature.
• Collect relics & weapon upgrades to increase your chances of survival!

a great modern throw back to the 8/16 bit era of gaming
A nasty, obnoxious little game, designed to cause maximum frustration and annoyance. I wanted to like this so much.. it's my ideal game on paper - 2d, retro, adventure / exploration platformer.. but in reality it's rendered awful by the high difficulty and deliberately obnoxious game design elements, such as massive gaps between save points - meaning, if you die (and it's very easy to do so), you have to repeat loads of carefully timed platforming, collecting etc. to get back to where you were.. it's horrible. Add to this, the fact saving takes way longer than it should, and that you can't mute the grating chiptune soundtrack (wtf?) and you have a lesson in aggrivation. I hope the devs get locked in a room full of mosquitoes.
The game is generally fun but i don't have the patience for the boss fights. 6/10
Delivers on that cozy old school satisfaction!
lots of fun
Funny thing is I bought an iiRcade because I wanted arcade controls to play this game. I haven't played this game since 2019, and the iiRcade was a complete waste of money. Overall, I believe Collectorvision did a very good job with this release, and at one point, I really enjoyed this game. Honestly, I'm surprised in the lack of reviews as I believed this game would be a top seller.
