Review quotes:
| " | "A 16 bit lover's wet dream… an awesome platforming experience" - Appitudes
"The controls are abso-mother****ing-lutely perfect. I don't remember the last iOS game I've played that actually feels this smooth… brilliant level design… you'd be doing yourself a huge favor by buying it" - Metalcasket This is a shameless Super Mario Bros. rip-off. The graphics aren't even nice to look at for something to be considered a a 16-bit fan's wet dream. The only upside to this game is the controls are tight and responsive. The worst thing is the level design and enemies by far. - Gammagammalover |
