Sigi - A Fart for Melusina

[h1][b][u]Short Review | Sigi - A Fart for Melusina[/u][/b][/h1] Sigi - A Fart for Melusina is a neat little 2D-Platformer, built with Unity Engine, heavily inspired by old NES-classics. It's an indie project, mostly done by one developer that focusses on fun and rewarding gameplay without having to figure out a difficult control scheme. Your goal is to kill the last boss, finish the game and get a score depending on how fast you've been and how many coins you had in your pockets while doing so. [h1][u]Story[/u][/h1] Sigi, a small knight who seems to have some flatulent issues, tries to rescue the beautiful mermaid Melusina. While doing so, he fights against a small roster of different enemies and kills some bosses to free his precious love. So to say. [h1][u]Gameplay[/u][/h1] Plain and simple. Sit down, get yourself a controller with at least a directional pad or analogue stick and two different buttons. Alternatively, use your keyboard and remember to WASD for movement, J to jump and K for fire. Collect coins, kill enemies to collect even more coins, find the word S-I-G-I flying in every one of the 20 available levels to get more lives, collect food and drinks that won't make Sigi smell better but it helps. There is a small variety of weapons and although I think that some attacks are more useful and easier to use than others, they add a small amount of challenge to the table. Also, you should keep an eye out for hidden caves and treasures~ [h1][u]Graphics[/u][/h1] Oldschool 8bit-pixel art with a nice color scheme, making it easy for pixel lovers and new gamers alike to feel a retro vibe that satisfies those of us who aren't in need for massive 3d-art. [h1][u]Sound[/u][/h1] Great chiptunes made by Saskrotch.

[h1][b][u]Verdict[/u][/b][/h1] While Sigi might not be the most innovative platformer I've played in a while now, I still liked the retro feeling and easy-to-pick-up controls. Get yourself a seat and finish the game in 0,5 -1,5 hours, depending on how comfortable you're with the genre in general. While I didn't find myself challenged with the gameplay in general, it took me some lives to finish the final boss. Replayability isn't that much if you've already found every secret on your first playthrough but anyone who likes to strike some highscores might find himself finishing it multiple times. Overall, a solid gaming experience with nice pixel graphics and lovely soundtrack that easily justifies the small amount of money it's asking for.
