Highly addictive gameplay and music

I was highly skeptical of this game at first. The sensibilities, art style and music all reminded me of those old pixellated gems that used to drive me crazy and hone my skills. It couldn't possibly come close to that nostalgic feeling, or surpass it. Happily, I couldn't have been more wrong. The graphics are fluid and smooth as butter as you flip and whip your way through increasingly difficult areas. The music is very expressive for a chiptune-alike soundtrack, and succeeds at matching the atmosphere and difficultly of the level you play. This has the added bonus of encouraging you to keep at the hair-tearing sections. Some may call the story too simple, but it still makes you laugh when you feel like you shouldn't. It pokes fun at its own simplicity and brings us all along for the ride. If you have even a tiny bit of 8-bit nostalgia, or wish you had had it, this game will make you very happy.
