The Daily Click ::. Downloads ::. Review Review: Unknown Game 5226
It's at the start of this game that I noticed the seemingly new trend of naming your company after a famous software house with a couple of letters changed so that you've got an instant easy logo. The game opens with several of these logos wiggling about on the screen slowly - this seems to be non-skippable, and it's a bit of a pain when you have to go through it after going back to the title screen every time. In fact it's positively frustrating. I think the music is original, but it doesn't say either way - it's pretty decent, sounding very Genesis-era, but I think the drums could have done with a bit less volume as they tend to drown out the rest of the music with their enthusiastic thumping. Things start to look a bit more promising on the map screen at the start of the game, as it's quite well presented. But once the game starts it all goes a bit wrong... the movement feels very awkward as the standard platform movement is used, and you can't jump unless you're moving left or right as well. Your rate of fire is as slow as is possible, so fighting enemies become a task of shooting and then stumbling out of the way. In fact, the entire feel of the game is very clumsy - I gave up after failing to be able to cross what should have been a very simple jump in the second stage. The graphics are mostly ripped, and I have no problem with that as long as they are used well. These, however, seem to be haphazardly thrown together with very little thought for coherence at all. What original graphics there are are pretty good. It's also worth mentioning that during the course of writing this review I lost all my lives and went to restart the game, only to have it instantly Game Over me again. Quite a huge bug to have got past playtesting!
