You will die, you will die, you will die... and you will die again until you have remembered every flying spike, every cheap moving platform, every disappearing/re-appearing block...you will keep dying. Luckily enough this game makes you want more...like a sadistic pleasure, as painful and as punishing as it is you want more and like an ignorant child you keep coming back for more punishment....yes mistress punish me more! I love the pain! This game is epic fun though and pays a great tribute to many old 8 bit - 32bit era games such as "Mega Man, Metroid, Mario, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, and Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!" just to name a few off the top of my head. The game is a very solid and very fun shoot-em up plat former and plays like MegaMetroidVania...there's hidden stuff and exploring to find and be done (which makes replaying it that much better)....that is if you survive without getting frustrated and dying thousands of times in the same spot till you remember how to perfectly time that cheap flying spike that comes out of nowhere to give you a bad day....and "The Kid" for being such a bad ass is a total wussy too...one smack from a flying cherry...yes a flying cherry and you are splatted all over the place....the quest to become "The Guy" is not an easy one as a matter of fact it's so hard the developer should reward you for beating it. :-P The graphics leave little to be desired but who cares really? There's some nice art and the whole game has that retro 8 bit look and a lot of sprites from other games have made it into the works....overall this game is more about gameplay than graphics anyways. The sound is great and a lot of classic songs from other classic games have returned and are used at perfect times. The voice overs are good as well even though some are from other games but "The Kid's" and "The Guy's" voice work are pretty well done and hilarious. Overall a very fun, addictive and rewarding experience from beginning to end and for free totally worth your download! You want a retro ass kicking? Look no further.
