Summary a good idea and a good try, but unfortunately the development team did not know to translate, at first glance does not seem a bad game, but has several design errors and one that another bug, a bad gameplay that does not encourage to continue playing On the contrary. Features We are faced with a sidescroll platform game with an aesthetic pixelated that tries to imitate the style of the games of 8 or 16 bit and that gets it relatively well, the characters have their charm but without becoming any wonder. It Has a control of 3 buttons, jump, shot and a kind of grip and as we go killing enemies we will adding experience that allows us to level up and have more powerful blows. My Experience At First sight does not seem like a bad game and for the price does not seem bad investment, unfortunately the game has several errors, design problems and a bad gameplay that lead me not to recommend it. For example, when you move forward with your character, the camera moves in that direction with the intention of showing you more game space, but when you stop you re-focus on your character, this makes the camera is constantly dancing, if to that add that the Movement of the camera does not feel fluid, if not, medium forced, ends up producing a rather annoying effect. When you reach Level 2 you get your shot to change from being a blow to throwing knives, but you can only do it horizontally, in principle this is not a problem, except that the designers added enemies that come out in upper or lower lines of your character, and therefore you can not attack directly, you must move to dodge them until they enter your horizontal (including the jump), a minor detail but that adding to the lousy handling of the camera dancer makes facing such enemies is a Very annoying experience. When you finish a level in history mode (I did not try the Arcade mode) you will get a dialogue where you have to select First, the file where you want to save the game, after selecting that file you will get a menu where you ask if you want to save, upload or "exit". If you give "save" the game returns to the menu to select File and you will have to re-select the file to return to the menu "save", "Load" or "exit". Now You must use the option "exit", quiet, you will not get out of the game, if not, you will come out of this horrendous menu to show you a special map where we handle a hand/cursor that allows us to select what level we want to play. The map is bigger than the resolution of the game, so if you move the cursor you will cause the camera to follow. When trying to select the next level I give the attack button, nothing happens, I try the jump button, nothing. I Try the button of grip and surprise, nothing. Surely I have well positioned the cursor, but in the doubts press "enter" and then skips the file selection menu, I have to re-select the file where I want to "save" to show me the menu with the option "Exit (menu)" and to do so , the cursor has disappeared, apparently when you open the menu, the cursor returns to the beginning, but the camera does not, so now you do not see the cursor, if you press the addresses the camera does not move, you have to try blindly, to take the cursor to the area where you had the camera to Qu E it will move again. I Decide to try the Arcade mode, intuitively Press "enter" to open the menu, UPS, the forgotten, that opens the menu to save/load and there is no other option, "Esc" maybe?, nothing, I found no way to open a general menu gave me the minimum options That are expected, like load new game, return to the main menu or even close the game, there is no more option "Ctrl-Alt-Del", kill process, uninstall and ask for the refund.
