Platformer that requires precision that isn't guaranteed
The Good
The controls are quite nice in this game and I always like when you can change your jump direction mid-air. Most levels also feature clear distinct colors. The game is a bit challenging and on many levels you have to think before you start to move.
The Bad
This game requires some precision jumping and that would also require precision collision detection and here is where the game fails. You can aim oh so carefully to land on the very edge of a platform only to discover that the collision detection fails and you fall through the platform, if you're lucky you just land on a platform beneath the intended one and if you are unlucky you lose a life.
A high-score table would also have been nice to have.
The Bottom Line
A challenging platformer that suffers from bad collision detection.
