8 of 25This is an interesting platformer because the levels are not linear but large areaswhich require exploration. The enemies are either pretty simple or tough to see against the background. And the players weapons are pretty useless - usually the head stomp is best. The store is hard to know how to use but it does give a tour of the map and you can buy other items. I did find one bug where I now have /negative/ 2000 coins and am working my way back to zero, I guess.
Very funny
My favorite childhood game, and i still play it. Soundtracks are amazing and the game as a whole is very fun. I hope the game doesn't leave the app store.
I've played this app everyday for 3years, never gets boring, just keep replaying it. Just waiting for another
Happy to get this game. Interesting and challenging.
Is there any possibility of an update where we can play the game with a friend online? I think this idea will bring the game back to life and it will be more fun this way.
I love this app IT'S AWESOME!!
Really enjoy this one and its easy to figure out!
