Pickle Wars

The Good
I liked the whole premise, about pickles from outer space invading your planet, and you fighting them with funny weapons. Seriously, some of this stuff reminds me of something from a Flaming Lips album!

A standard early 90's platformer which feels good to play, the controls are just right, the sprites the right size, the movement feels good, etc. The whole thing has the feel of an enjoyable B-grade flick.

The Bad
The production is a bit budget, even for an old game. The graphics could be a little sharper, the animations a little more complex, etc. You know what though? The amateurish feel actually makes the game better for me -- it complements the whole B-grade movie feel.

The worst thing is the gameplay window -- sideways is fine but you can't see as much vertically. There is a look up and down key though, and you get used to it.

The Bottom Line
Standard early 90's platformer with a wacky premise. Unique and fun.
