Classic Vibe With New Bells and Whistles
You can tell just by looking at the screenshots that this seeks to pay homage to oldschool games. and it comes with some oldschool challenge, as well. Now, I'm not one who insists on having every game I play punish me for anything less than pixel-perfect movements, and I say that the challenge here is almost perfect. It's tough, sure, but it's Mega Man X tough, where you have lots of great movement-based techniques, and just getting around feels so good! The very first technique you learn is the cloudstep, which allows you to jump again in midair if you strike something while airborne, which you can repeat infinitely, as long as you're still hitting something. It's such a simple mechanic, but SO satisfying, and mastering it makes the level design flow so beautifully. As you continue on, you'll get more abilities to expand your moveset even further, and everything just gets even better. The bells and whistles are lovely, too; you can see the great NES-style 8-bit artwork, and from beginning to end, it's beautiful and very detailed. You probably couldn't do a lot of what you see here on actual NES hardware because of memory limits and such, but who cares? It looks great, and still evokes that classic style! The music does a great job of that, too; the soundtrack is pretty faithful to the NES soundchip, and will keep your blood pumping! You probably wouldn't expect much out of the story and characters, but there is a fairly detailed plot, and the writting is genuinely funny, especially your smartass sidekick, Quarble. There's also a free expansion called Picnic Panic, which is absolutely worth your time.
