Spent maybe an hour with it before rolling credits, which tells you most of what you need to know. The controller support is basically a lie, my Xbox pad couldn't even navigate the menu, and the keyboard layout has you moving with arrows and shooting with WASD, which feels backwards every single second you play. I actually wanted to like the retro look, but the sprites are dull, the hitboxes are inconsistent, and having to install Java just to launch a 2D platformer in 2015 is its own kind of insult. Co-op sounded like the saving grace until one death sent both of us back to the stage start, and the fruit power ups don't even have working buttons mapped to them. There's a decent little idea buried here somewhere, but as it stands I'd rather replay something free.

Requires Java to be installed.

You'll need to download the appropriate Java stuff to make this work, if you don't already have it. A shame it doesn't come with the game.

if it was cheaper, had an editor and workshop support and achievements and trading cards, I might argue the plethora of modes and allowing for up to 4 people play together would warrant something but that would take ignoring every free game available just on steam not even counting the entirety of the internet. if you are paying 2 dollars for a game on steam you could probably blindly choose a title and still come off better. the main pains for me in this are the annoying basic character and level tile art. the sound effects are garish and repetitive and the combat \ character physics are entirely uninteresting. I feel like an idiot for even writing about this game but I guess its close enough to interesting to warrant it, just don't pay more than a dollar for it and don't expect much return unless you are dead set on doing competitive races across bad levels with a friend as this appears to be the most interesting quality of the game. points to having some amount of pride in the game to the point you can go look up promo youtube footage for it including its exhibition at some game expo convention thing. the guy puts his name in the main menu and is active on linkedin and github. i…

Terrible game, should be a free flash game (feels like one). The controls feel so sluggish that you will die and just get frustrated. 2/10

I would honestly say that this would be more suited to Miniclip rather than Steam. It is a solid flash game however lacks for features. It is a very solid platformer though. - FLASH GAME REVIEW - + Solid Gameplay + Nice variety of weapons - Layout of levels is very vanilla 6/10 for a miniclip game, 2/10 for a Steam game. - STEAM GAME REVIEW - + Not many glitches. - Controls are unresponsive - Movement feels clunky - Lack of content
