Summary
The game boasts charming pixel art graphics and a manageable download size of 181.2MB. Players can earn a platinum trophy and enjoy both the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 versions of the game. The level select screen allows for replaying levels, and the platformer gameplay is complemented by tutorial signs that guide players as they progress. Collecting fruit within the levels adds an extra layer of engagement, and the still art cutscenes provide a nice visual break. The game offers a double jump right from the start, and the bite-sized levels make it easy to pick up and play. The trophy list is straightforward, making it a good option for those looking to add to their collection. Killing enemies by jumping on their heads and using checkpoints as respawn points add to the classic platformer feel. Players have four lives per level, and losing them all resets the level, adding a bit of challenge.
However, there are some drawbacks. The controls cannot be remapped, which might be frustrating for some players. There is no scoring or leaderboards, and the fruit collected within the levels serves no purpose, which diminishes the replay value. Additionally, the game takes some getting used to, especially the jumping mechanics, which can cause players to overthink or over jump platforms.
Overall, the game is a good little time waster with its charming graphics and straightforward gameplay. While it has some limitations, such as the inability to remap controls and lack of replay value, it still offers a fun and engaging experience for those looking for a quick and easy platformer.
