its so cute and engaging!
I loved everything about this game. One of the best retro platformers on Steam. Simple gameplay, but fun. Challenging, but not unfair. And you can play with friends.
Micro Mages . The game is beautiful and takes full advantage of the NES style limitations. The character designs are superb. The animations are great. The characters control amazing, jumping and shooting are a joy. Enemy patterns are varied, with unique bosses every three levels. If this game had come out back in the NES era, it would have been a major hit. The hero periodically gains perks, like a feather that allows him to hover, like in Mario 3, and a fairy that acts as a shield that disappears after taking damage. It's a blast to play. I highly recommend it! . Controls D-pad - move A - jump B - shoot Start - menu Select - drop fairy

Not only is it obviously fully NES-capable, but even if it wasn't, this'd still be worth your time. The platforming is around the quality of SMB3 in my opinion (which is the best the NES gets) and they MANAGED TO MAKE AN ICE LEVEL ACTUALLY FUN. I really hope to see Morphcat become something bigger in the future, I love these guys' work.
Great fun with friends, and while it can run on an NES (which is impressive) the game design and feel greatly benefit from the years of the medium's growth. The game is tough but it's not janky or frustrating, and we felt really incentivized to try out the hard mode and truly beat the game, something that I can't say for other NES games with second playthrough options. Take this with a grain of salt if you're planning to play this solo. I always played with at least one friend and later as a full party of four to beat hard mode and rescue [i]princess[/i].
chef's kiss.
I really love how smoothly the character moves; it’s a truly delightful feeling. The music is fantastic! If this game had been released for the NES in the early 90s or late 80s, I’m sure it would have been a bestseller, known to everyone just like Mega Man and Mario.
Весь геймплей: разучивай, перепроходи, исполняй, миллиметруй. Первые два уровня были норм, но потом подзадушили. Кому-то это по кайфу, но я подобное не люблю. Игра представляет собой аркаду для кооперативных посиделок, а не приключение для одинокого аутирования. Она рассчитана, чтобы вы страдали вместе и выбивали очки. Кинца нет, это просто платформинг ради платформинга. Но если у вас есть друзья, то это отличное времяпрепровождение.
very magey
