I played this game and it awesomed.

Take the story of an RPG, add a combination of LoZ AND Castlevania SotN and you get TAG! This is essentially a love letter to old school games especially metroidvanias. It also includes tributes to Mario, Sonic, Kirby, Castlevania, Earthbound and more. I can sympathize when my first console was the NES. TAG will brings you back to an era when games were good. It really was a breath of fresh air. First of all is mighty ambitious for a free indie game made by one guy with help. It's big, it's long especially if you explore and get everything, has EXCELLENT game design, beautiful pixel art, awesome kicking soundtrack, great story, tight controls, neat mechanics like the day/afternoon/night cycle and how everything changes with it and I especially loved the magic bottle power-up where you use wind or snow to jump higher. The only bad part is that it does have some glitches and bugs. I didn't encounter anything game breaking either. But for a free indie game of this magnitude it was acceptable and not enough for me to deduct a star. I have played indie games that cost $ and are smaller in scale and still have them. I would pay $10 for it. Seriously play it just for that LSD level.

Just like the name says, this is pure adventure, I got this just because it was free and I wanted to try it, but I found myself playing from start to finish, always wanting for more pirates, towers, cities and treasures. You play as a kid who wants to become a pirate and go finding treasures, resolving puzzles and fighting bad guys in a 2D platformer style. Maybe some mechanics in some puzzles are not all that polished, but still this is an awesome game for an amazing price. I found myself coming back to it after a while and still loving it.

This would be a superb game. I love platformer, sidescroller games. But, there is a silly thing which turn this gem into a nightmare: That idiot red parrot! It's very annoying, that the parrot always and continously landing and sit on the little guy's head! This is terribly annoying for me. It was a sick idea!
