Vertical Drop Heroes HD

Nice game, but I could do with some extra options like disabling this random hero bullshit and customize my own. The music is the only thing that needs some touching up, sometimes it just won't play, or it'll only play once and then nothing, sometimes it loops forever and you just want to hear something else. Would be nice if there was a little more variety.

The current version is badly broken. The game won't start; typically, it just crashes immediately after the splash screen (this is the Mac version). Emailed GOG about the problem, even sent them the crash log. No response. Bummer. I'd love to rate this game higher, but I'd actually have to be able to play it first...

Nerdook's free Flash games have always been amongst my fave Flash games, alongside some of his other games like Cluesweeper (hint-hint). And Vertical Drop Heroes is a perfect game. Whether you're ready to sit down and play for hours or even just kill a few minutes, whether you're just a casual player or if you've got your eyes set on getting every single thing this game's got hidden just waiting to be found, or whether you love the game's roguelike elements or its old-school 2D platforming (which screams "Mario eat your heart out"), this game's totally for you.

Wasted potential, too dark levels and boring level design, only good for a first few minutes. Intend that search for Rogue Legacy - better game overall.

Very simple mechanics, although they are fun to use. The random element in the creation of heroes and maps make the game very adictive and replayable. Also, it's very cheap :D
