Vulture Island

This is a cute little adventure platformer about a group of explorers trying to escape from a strange island. There are three playable characters, each with his own inventory and set of levels to complete, and finishing the game requires the player to complete all three paths. The game seems quite impenetrable at first -- the player will be able to accomplish remarkably little -- but slowly opens up as the characters accumulate items and solve puzzles. Each player begins with no method of defending himself, and the player will just have to avoid the monsters. It takes very few hits to kill the player, but death has few drawbacks; the player is returned to the world map with a loss of money, but keeps all items and puzzle progress that's been made, making death less frustrating than it otherwise would be, and encouraging exploration and experimentation -- key elements in a game like this. There are two major problems with Vulture Island. First is that some amount of grinding for money is required; each of the characters will have to buy an item to progress, and this may result in the player having to run back and forth through levels grabbing coins (particularly the last item, whi…

Vulture Island, the way i've experienced it so far, is a light hearted and atmospheric adventure game that lets you explore freely and figure out for yourself how to go about solving puzzles and defeating enemies with four different characters you can switch inbetween as you see fit. The game is good to control with keyboard or controller and you can also remap both of them, which is a big plus since the basic layout is not all that good in my opinion. The music as far as i can tell is a little repeptive on surface levels but it gets way better when you start to explore some caves and temples. All in all for that price, i would definitively give it a try and i'll be playing way more of it in the future.

Vulture Island -------------------------------------------- Vulture island is an old school side scroller with platforming mechanics in an adventerous world, similar to that of the Super Mario Brothers games. Vulture Island has amazing graphics. The style reminds me of Nintendo, Mario & Zelda games that came out during the Gameboy color era, the graphics have that sort of feel, old school but with an updated color palette. The backgrounds are bright and vivid as if playing it off a backlit system like the Gamegear. Over all I really am digging this style of artwork it works really well for this type of game & gives me those warm fuzzy retro feelings. One issue I found right away was the listing of "Controller Support" I for the life of me, could not get my xbox controller to work with this game, but it works fine with all others. So I decided to try with my steam controller, & even in big picture mode with the recommended configuration, still no controller support, that was a real bummer here. I did see a work around that worked for some people by changing the controller settings to work with older programs in the game controller settings in windows, unfortunately this did not w…

wth.... I'm not playing this crap. Bounce on everything without killing it and my bananas don't kill anything... I dunno ... Not a mario clone but in a bad way LOL wtf... go to any level anytime but with no clear goals... bye. *Refund*

Doesn't support my XB1 controller even though it clearly states that this game has "Full controller support". I can't even remap the keys in the settings menu to make it work.

Nice, cute and quick game to play
